Thanks !! I was hoping it was this because why would you wait a week before starting PCT if you are running a longer ester like TEST E. Thanks man !!

[abstrack]

i run it up to the very day tha i start PCT and then stop HCG

[dragon69]

so how would you structure it then (dose schedule)?

[GotMilk?]

I was doing shots of 500 ius every 4 days throughout my whole tren A/ Test C cycle. If I have to add in an extra shot to make sure I get my last shot in the day before I start PCT I will... Then Ill start my clomid !! Thanks alot moderator for clearing this up !

At what doses?

HCG should be run during the cycle, in small doses. doses of 1500iu and up increase estrogen levels. You may get some elevation with the small dose but it's minimal. At 2000iu it can desensitize the testes to LH, not good, since you need LH to signal the testes to produce test. The whole idea of using HCG, is to keep the boys alive, during a cycle, less stress on the body and one less thing to worry about for PCT.

And you would run hcg up until 4-5 days before pct is due to start, as hcg itself has an active life of 4-5 days and you want it out of your system before you begin pct.

agreed stop hcg +- 5 days, I'd start 3.5 weeks vefore end of cycle, 500iu eod. Total 5000iu. Stop 4 days before cycle end.

Seems to be general consensus. Some say it's too low but then I do light cycles anyway...500mg test only, 9 weeks

[alltherage]

It's 5 days before you start clomid you stop hcg , I finally found the answer on a really good post called hcg 2nd draft. This is what I always wondered about. Plus 500ius a day will only last 10 days if you have 5000ius. It says though that unless your doing a super high level of test for over 12 weeks you don't even need hcg.

[GotMilk?]

LOL ... Everyone has different opinions !! BUMP for more opinions....

[zircon]

yeh I was wondering about that...hcg only required after 12 weeks. But I think (corrwct me if wrong), fdoign 9 weeks 500mg may very well shrink u a bit...hcg 3 weeks 500iu ed..should be pretty safe no? Can't hurt...can only help?

BTW with this doseage dont really need nolva?
