HCG straight talk?

[gorilla_boy]

OK, I did a search and read a lot of posts.

I don't get it.

Can I use it post-cycle to bring my nuts back to full production or not and if so how much do I use when? I have 1 5000ui kit right now, is it enough?

Gorilla- from what I gather most people take 5000IU of HCG once per week for two weeks at the end of your cycle. I also have read that Brock Strasser instead recommends 500IU/day (=3500IU/wk). Beats me which is better. Theoretically this will upregulate the ol' nads production of LH, etc. leading to an increase in endogenous T. Haven't used it myself yet though.

I've been told 1000ui every 4 days...

Anybody?

1 - 5000 iu shot after cycle and then hit the clomid.

Gorilla, hcg used during a cycle will keep your nuts from shrinking! Example--- 8 week cycle--- hcg is taken weeks 3,5,7 at 1500iu's. Many people use 5000iu's but thats an overkill, many studies have shown 5000iu's and 1500iu's to give the same results. I personally wouldn't use it at the end of a cycle that's what clomid is for.

You don't have enough. You should have at least 10, 000 IU because you'll want to use 1000iu/day for ten days. You can use it midcycle to make your balls big and bouncy but for recovery you will want to use it for the last ten days of your cycle before you start clomid. If all you can get is 5000iu then use 1000iu for last five days. Bill Roberts says you can get away with 500iu/day for ten days. I have not talked to a single endocrinologist who agrees with that for someone coming off AS. Get some more.

There is so much conflicting info out there about HCG usage.

I have just completed a HCG therapy, as I am near the end of a long cycle.

I used 2500 IU X 3 at 7 day intervals.

It did bring the boys back and increased the load. The first shot made me rather moody and I could feel the estrogen in my body.

I started wondering if I looked fat and all the drapes in my house had to go.

Other than that, it was fine.

See what I mean?

Nothing even close to a general consensus...

Well Bill states to use 500iu beacuse too much HCG can be inhibitory post cycle.
