View Full Version : HCG during cycle?
Of all the side-effects of aas, the one I'm most uncomfortable with is the testes' atrophy. I've been reading about HCG, which seems a valid route to help with prevent this during cycle (like 500iu/w). The literature is interesting, I can't seem to find any testimonies of users. Anyone tried it? Did it do what it's supposed to?

I Don't follow protocol every 3 days...they look and feel like there shrinking...I give it a shot of low dose hcg. Everyone is different and using different compounds...so the protocol thing is out the door for me.

I run 500iu every 3-4 days, works extremely well. Especially for old fogies like me who like their long cycles and still want to have children. :)
In my research, HCG's dosage is dependant on ones own bodyfat. People with less bodyfat can get away with a lower dosage.
Body Fat Percentage / UI's Needed
<10%: 250-300 iu twice weekly
10-15%: 300-350 iu twice weekly
>15%: 350-500 iu twice weekly
If you experiance any testicular atrophy just bump yourself up to the next bracket.

Its a good idea in my opinion. The only question is sorting out how much, how often, and for how long. Opinions seem to differ. Some say its better to use every other day. Me, I used a little every day till the 10,000 iu were gone. Mixed it up, drew it into an insulin syringe and stored it in the fridge while I used it. It did what it was supposed to.
E3D is the best option between 250 and 500mcg each pin. HCG mimics the pituitarys release of LH (which pulsates every 3 days approx), therefore, giving the boys a jolt of HCG E3D will prevent primary testicular failure and keep your nuts firing.
Obviously, post cycle a proper pct is neccessary because your pituitary wont be doing jack shit.

Yep me to,i like 2500-5000ius per shot every 5 day,but have did the 500iu ed for 10 days way to many shots for me.
