HCG mid cycle?

New member
what do you guys with experience doing this think about it. Im currently in the middle of a very long cycle and was thinking about running some HCG for a week or two during it, pros, cons?

Never tried this before so i'm interested in results and oppinions
 
No, it is a good idea it you have some testicular shrinkage. Especially if you are running high level of Test, Tren or Deca. I have used it mid-cycle at 500 IU's EOD for 2 weeks to bring the "boys" back.
 
There are tons of guys doing this for either normal-length cycles and especially longer-length cycles... they seem to like it alot.... I'm considering it for my current cycle, if only to ensure that my PCT will be as effective as possible (since my last few PCT's and subsequent recovery haven't been stellar)
 
It's perfectly ok to run it mid cycle to maintain teste size ... the smaller they shrink the longer it takes to bring them back so maintaining there size ( if not function ) is a bonus .

I've done it in the past ... nowadays my cycles rarely exceed 6 weeks so it's not as much of an issue as say a 10 or 12 week cource or longer
 
1000 IU's per day will cause desensitization (will down regulate LH receptors). I'd bump it down to 500IU's per day.

what about 1000 iu/day for 10 days.....i may try this

I would say that is over kill...I use HCG mid cycle on all of my long cycle I run it for 3 weeks any where from 500iu-1000iu MOn,Wednes,Friday and that is plenty...

ok, 500 iu's day for 10 days, how about that!

That would be good I still think EOD would be plenty bro....watch out because that HCG will shoot your estrogen levels way up with your test levels...I would be running nolva with the HCG for sure bro!! 500IU for 1 week Mon, Wed, Frid and my balls have fallen tremendously!!

the estrogen is something i was worried about, im taking letrozole though, so i should be fine


hell i may just say hell with it and wait till i come off, can't decide
 
I did it just recently but again i'm 49 and have been on test-e 250 mg wk for about 8 months sometimes i bump it up but have found if i am just wanting to maintain it works great kinda my own hrt doc also have anti-e. I run hcg 1000 iu eod 10 days i use 5000 iu total and it works great, but everyone is different, my thought is try the lesser quantity 1st if it works great! If not add keep going for another 10 days.
For sure on the anti-e with it

No bro run it in the middle you will never go back IMO...never run HCG PCT IMO you will just prolong recovery and yes the letro will get the job done bro your right!!

i've never been a fan of HCG post cycle either, but i was gonna try it again if/when i come off
 
agreed....500iu ED for 10 days is a good dosage.... and you're running Letro, I wouldn't worry one bit about estrogen.... definitely don't need nolva

I use 1000iu/day for 10 days at a time. You'll be fine doing that since you're using an AI.
You're doing it strictly for aesthetics because it has no other use. You won't recover any differently doing this mid-cycle.

hmm, is that true? just for aesthetics? I was hoping that it would help make PCT more effective... or at least the body more responsive to it.... my boys are actually quite full during a cycle, so I wouldn't really need it for aesthetics... my PCT's haven't been so hot though

"aesthetics" an EVEN BETTER reason for me to try this.......what will it do besides just make me stronger, i have read it will increase my strength quite a bit....

so ulter, you think this is a waste of time or not?
 
What about helping it keep your gains? How much better is it than running clomid and nolva at higher dosages? I have ran HCG, Nolva and Clomid and thought it was a pretty good PCT...but Im just wondering.
 
The whole keeping your gains idea is distorted. PCT helps you get your natural test back up and running so you don't have a lull in your blood levels of test. THAT'S IT!
Aside from that it does nothing to make your body hold LBM that you would not hold normally. In other words if you're past your genetic limit and the AS was holding you up and you remove the AS, the PCT won't do anything to prevent the loss, only the crash. It may slightly delay it, but that's only a couple weeks.

good info ulter, i will probably just save it for off cycle especially since i dont' give a shit about the size of my boys
 
I believe it will help PCT...when I run HCG I run it in the middle of the cycle and then I run it again for the last 3 weeks of the cycle then start my PCT...I think this helps PCT alot because you arnt shut down when you start your PCT because you just ran 3 weeks of HCG..

but keep in mind i've been on 8 months and will not come off for another 4 or so.......so it might not be beneficial to me since it will be so long before i come off
