HCG effect on test levels

[mendo]

Say you inject 1000iu of HCG. Does anyone know how much of an effect that has on test levels? Judging by the gyno risk I assume its pretty big. Is it like injecting a big dose of prop? Anyone have any numbers on this?

One person here posted blood work showing HCG took his serum testosterone levels to 400 (I forget the units) and that was just above the normal range.

HCG is not as potent as doing a large dose of prop and a big part of the gyno risk comes from the fact that HCG raises aromatase as well as testosterone levels so a larger proportion of the test gets converted to estrogen.
