HCG - During or After your Cycle ?

[houseofpain]

Hey guys...

I've never used HCG before but I plan to for my next cycle. I had intended to use it post cycle instead of clomid this time, to see if I respond any better(faster) to jump starting my natural test production. But I've seen a few threads lately that are advocating using HCG in the middle of cycles instead of for post recovery.

Does HCG offer the greatest benefit during or after cycle? And can it be used effectively for either?

HCG should be used during the middle of the cycle at 3000-5000 iu's in divided dosages to maintain testicular function. While HCG and clomid are both used to prevent testicular atrophy and the shutdown of endogenous androgen production, they work through different pathways. HCG should not be used at the end of a cycle because it mimics the actions of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and can prevent the release of these hormones from the pituitary.

IMO it depends on the length of your cycle and the health of your testicles whether or not you need Hcg & when.

If a person was on a longer cycle say 12 weeks, I would suggest @ week 8 to use 500 iu for 7days and then again at week 12, 500iu for 10 days, then use clomid after the Hcg. I have found clomid more effective Post Cycle after using Hcg, and other supps like aveena sativa and zinc etc...

If you overdue the Hcg you can do more harm to natural test production than good. If you are doing a 6 weeker for example...you may not need it @ all. If you are on for 30 weeks or something then it should be administered during cycle as well as @ the end of the cycle before clomid, or other PC drugs.

Continue to research and make sure you need it first of all, and what the precautions are second of all. Dont just take any Tom, Dick, or Harry's advice on what to put in your body.

Get suggestions and ask around like you are doing right now.

What would you recomend for a 10 week cycle, what do you think of 500iu a week until start of clomid on a sus/eq/anavar cycle.

Everyone is different. I have tried a bunch of ways to do HCG, but what works best for me is at the end of a cycle 2500IU than 4 days latter another 2500IU's. I use it IM, too. I got nothing from sub-q injections.

 

[sh4dowf4lcon]

I also prefer IM over sub-q. BigBX is right, you have to know how your body reacts to various drugs to know what is best for you. My balls swell up like mad with the regimine I posted above. Just know the risks and precautions prior to injecting the stuff, know your source and use a pregnancy test to confirm the stuff is legit...*you should show pregnant*.

Why do all the source websites seem to contradict the idea of administering during the cycle? Is this a "new" notion in the way it benefits most people or has it always been the golden rule to take it "during" vs. "after"?

Many if not all the sources have printed recommendations that it be taken at the end of your cycle. And regarding dosages, they all seem to recommend you inject a "full ampule" (I think these are 1500iu) once a week for 3 weeks).

I'm assuming that if you were injecting only 500iu, you'd have to transfer the remaining solution to a sterile bottle right? Also, when you say:

use 500 iu for 7days and then again at week 12, 500iu for 10 days

Do you mean 500iu every day? Or just once every 7 days?
