HCG timing, I need educating!

[slat1]

If you have not started the cycle I would plan on using 500 iu's every Monday and Thursday throughout. If you have started I would use 500 iu's ed for 10 to 14 days in the middle of the cycle. I would not use it at the end unless you want to lose your gains and get gyno. Judging by the fact that you have a 5000 iu snap and there are questions about how long it is good for. I would use the second method listed. If you can get your hands on more. I would use the first. Remember to refrigerate after reconstituting.
Good Luck!

What makes you think you will lose your gains using HCG post-cycle? If anything, they would help with gains due to the test level increase. As for gyno, you would be running nolv/clomid for a while after a cycle anyways, so I don't see how you could be prone to it.

"HCG administration post-cycle is common practice among bodybuilders in the belief that it will aid the natural testosterone recovery, but this theory is unfounded and also counterproductive. The rapid rise in both testosterone, and thus oestrogen due to aromatisation, from the administration of HCG causes further inhibition of the HPTA (Hypothalamic/Pituitary/Testicular Axis - feedback loop); this actually worsens the recovery situation. HCG does not restore the natural testosterone production"
"it is clear that HCG is best used during a cycle, either to:

1) Avoid testicular atrophy, or
2) Rectify the problem of an existing testicular atrophy"

"Doses of HCG

Smaller doses, more frequently during a cycle will give best overall results with least unwanted side effects. Somewhere between 500iu and 1000iu per day would be best over about a two-week period. These doses are sufficient to avoid/rectify testicular atrophy without increasing oestrogen levels too dramatically and risking gynecomastia. This dosing schedule also avoids the risk of permanently down-regulating the LH receptors in the testes"

the more I learn, the more this HCG shit gets confusing.
does this sound right..

it would be ideal to take it midcycle for 10days and then also for a couple weeks at the end along with clomid or nolva(and running the clomid a couple weeks past the end of HCG administration)

i'm on a test e and EQ cycle(low dose 250/200 e4d w/dbol 15mg)...I'm just about 2 weeks in right now and was trying to figure out how to run the hcg mid cycle/post.
