5000iu HCG all at once?

[Snarling Force]

For my PCT, I ran 500iu M,W,F of HCG for 3 weeks while also taking Clomid and Nolva. That is over now and I'm in week 4 feeling very tired and zero sex drive. I'm wondering was that enough HCG?

The thing is, I've got 1 amp of 5000 left but no sterile vial to put in it. I was thinking I could just add some bos water and inject the whole thing or would this be a total waste? Should I just wait things out a little?

Well hcg is slightly supressive so if you were running that with nolva and clomid at the same time it may have been a problem. NOt 100% sure though.

ok, PCT is a very very fuzzy topic..... but my guess would be you didn't run enough HCG... if you're going to run as little as 500iu per shot, that should be over the course of at least 10 days, if not longer.... if you're going to run 3 times a week, then you should do between 1,000 - 1,500 iu per shot ...
after the 3 weeks, run the nolvadex for 3 more weeks

not sure what's the best option at this point, but if it were me, I might run 500iu for 10 more days.... run nolvadex and clomid with it again and run the nolvadex for a few weeks past the last HCG shot

Your HCG dosage was too small, like stated before 1500iu or so per inject is where you need to be. Taking 5000iu at once will make you feel better, but it will only be a rebound effect, that's too much to take at once. It's not that it's suppresive, it MAKES your body produce test by triggering the hypothalimus to release LH, which in turn triggers the nas to produce test. 5000iu at once will most likely produce sides, like acne and night sweats from the sudden fluctuation in hormones. Definately will do no good long term, break it up in 3 injections if possible.

Bro, if you plan on doing 5000 i.u.'s at once you'd better have some nolv handy...

 

[steelmass]

You don't need a sterile vial, just add bac water, and load into 10 different syringes.

 

[Snarling Force]

Thanks bros I will give it a go breaking up into 3 shots as Indy suggests...

 

[dr_skier]

use a slin pin, mix and load it all into the slin pin, then just inject a third amount sub-q m/w/f with the same pin, shouldn't be a problem.

I think you should do 500 iu every other day for the length of your cycle.

In the last couple of years there has been some research done on using hcg to regain testosterone levels after AAS usage. Do a google search on "human chorionic gonadotropin" and testosterone. They will come up on the first page.

The 500iu every few days throughout the cycle idea has been around for a long time. It is supposed to make recovery easier and keep your testes big and bouncy while on. Most people don't find this to be useful for them however. But it's not a BAD idea.

You can certainly take 5000iu at once if you're off or doing PCT. That's the dose recommended by Profasi and I imagine since they make it they would know it's safe.

Most people do better spreading that out though into 3-5 shots.

For PCT. I have always split into 3 injects and used it EOD for two weeks.
When I have used it during a cycle. I split it into 5 injects and used it twice a week and the boys stay up just fine

I did 5000 IU in one shot for 3 weeks straight and recovered quite nicely my last go round

At 18 I was coming off a big cycle and took 10,000 IUs in a day. It was terrible. Indescribable cloudiness in my head. After that I only took as much as 1,500 at a time. Now, I take 1,000 or even 500 but over a couple three weeks. I have had trouble with my sex drive for a year and can't figure it out. So there may be nothing besides being off a long time that can cure that.
