HCG On Cycle

[samo615]

I'm finishing up my fourth cycle. I keep it simple with 500 test/week for 12 weeks. It's enough for me to enjoy at age 34 and 190lbs. This cycle and last I used 250 HCG twice a week. When I start PCT with 20mg Nolva only, my testicles shrink a few weeks in. What is the point of running HCG during cycle, only to shut down during PCT? One of you knowledgable pros please explain what I am doing wrong. I'll also include my cycle below.

1-12 - 500 Test E (250 2x a week)
3-12 - 500 HCG (250 2x a week)
13-16 - 20mg Nolvadex

I have run hcg with all my cycles and it seems that it mostly works best when I run it during the second half of my cycle with low does injections (because I have read that high dose injections can cause estrogen to spike) but making them last into the second week of PCT running it for a total of 7 weeks. I am no pro, but this seems to work well. I have heard that running it too long can also cause estrogen to spike though. There are so many different theories on taking hcg, I would also really like to hear someone who is a pro let us know what the most efficient way of taking this substance is.

So you use hcg during cycle and post cycle. Interesting... That is one of my big questions. All the threads I have read over the last year seem to make you decide over one or the other. I have a bottle that I could use right now on my second week of PCT. 1000x3 for two weeks is what I mostly see recommended for PCT. I don't know if I should because I have already used HCG throughout my cycle.

This is my first PCT without sustain alpha, toco and that other in the the test recovery pack. I am really regretting not stocking up on something besides nolva, clomid, and HCG.
