If it works for you then that is all that matters. However, some of us were doing this over 10+ years ago and after awhile, the estrogen accumulation from the HCG eventually caused many people to suffer gyno symptoms and even full blown gyno itself. Standard dosing was 300-1000iu every 3-4 days.
This "new" use of Hcg has already been tried in the past like I mentioned. While using it 'may' help one come off a cycle and recover easier, eventually the sides will outweigh the benefits for 'most.'
Dan Duchaine had mentioned this in the early 90's (very briefly) in his writings, and a lot of us here where I live tinkered around with dosages to find the optimal amount. Well, knowing that this stuff isn't "cookie-cutter," it ended up being different for a lot of us. Obviously, if you are gonna run it throughout a cycle, you will want to use the lowest dosage possible to get the benefits that you are looking for (sex drive, LH-mimicking, large balls, etc), but even this, as time went on, caused problems for a lot of us.
It will also depend on the AAS that you are using. If using highly estrous compounds such as Test and Dbol, then estrogen levels will be through the roof. Not only that, but AI's will not help much at all in preventing HCG induced gyno. Therefore, Nolvadex must be used. Well, as you may or may not know, the anti-estrogen stack of choice during this time WAS Nolvadex/Proviron. Although these compounds helped a lot, eventually they weren't enough after awhile to combat the use of HCG for long periods of time, especially with large estrous AAS stacks. Some guys complained of gyno symptoms after only 3-4 weeks of straight use. Obviously some of us are more sensitive than others so it varied some on conditions.
Although trying to keep estrogen levels lowered, it didn't work out well for many. Therefore, people also suffered typical sides that are associated with elevated estrogen levels on top of the tit sensitivity.
SO in return, what a lot of us started doing was adding in either Fertodur or Clomid during the cycle to replace the Hcg use. So a typical cycle would have either Nolvadex/Clomid/Proviron or Nolvadex/Proviron/Fertodur. This worked out much, much better! If needed, we would add in Hcg bursts throughout the cycle for 1-3 weeks at the halfway mark of the cycle. Some of us....hehehehe....never came off for some periods of time so usually it was added every other month or so.
At the end of the cycle, we would TAPER our dosages hoping that the "ease" of ending the cycle would help in recovery, which we also later found it didn't really help much at all (for most). So we would run 3 weeks of Hcg @ 1,000-2,500iu every 3 days with Nolvadex and followed it up with either Clomid or Fertodur at the end. A lot of times, we would just end it with Fertodur or Clomid for a few weeks and just skip the Hcg use. A lot of us thought that starting the PCT using these drugs at the last 3 weeks of the cycle would put us back on track of recovery. It just never worked out like planned. Fortunately we were young (most of us) and were able to jumpstart our natty test easily and quite quickly. I wouldn't have those same positive experiences now though.
Now, we know that Nolvadex in a cycle of progestins "may" exacerbate gyno problems since it upregulates PgR expression. SO, although i'm a little off topic here, it does make it a little more tricky.
Obviously genetics will play a role here too. If you are naturally not prone to gyno, then it will not be as apparent as others whoare prone. I was this way for a long time, but after a few years of Hcg and heavy Dbol use from when I was young (and I didn't always use Nolvadex during these times...which was irresponsible), I started developing gyno in my mid-late twenties.
For a long time, it was hard for me to go above 600mg/wk of Test and moderate dosages of Dbol without getting flare-ups. Even using Nolvadex/Arimidex didn't help at all. Letrozole is awesome and worked well with the gyno knots and flare-ups, but it cut my sex drive down. AIFM worked for me everytime even though I was gyno prone. However, I have been off AAS since May of this year, and my Knots have flared up big time during this period. SO, I am just going to get gyno surgery very soon to fix it altogether. I haven't been taking anything at all to combat it while being off, as i'd rather it look its worse when I go to the surgeon so hopefully insurance will pay for it. Regardless, i'm having it done anyway.
SO.....now I only advocate Hcg use for ball size aesthetics every 4-8 weeks during a cycle for 7-10 days in short bouts with AIFM and Nolvadex if on hand. Nolvadex isn't used if i'm on a cycle that contains progestins. at the end of the cycle, I will run it for 2-3 weeks at lower dosages of 300-1000iu with AIFM/Nolva and follow this up with Clomid/AIFM. Some 'moderate' cycles may not even need Hcg use at the end, and Clomid may be all that is needed. I still like running Clomid throughout my cycles as well.
Fucking hell....i've written too much
That's my look on it. Remember too, that this was all trial and error on many, many of our uses....for years. The stuff I wrote above has no scientific writing in it, as during this time, we used our own trial and errors to give us our answers, which at the end is all that matters to me, and not somebody like SWALE stating otherwise. No disrespect either.
Been there and done that!
