Importance of HCG ??

[bigtraps]

I'm trying to figure out if I need HCG on cycles longer than like 12 weeks. I allways run 50 mg clomid ed through the cycle or 10-20 mg nolva ed while on. Then i will do my actual clomid therapy post cycle.

Whats your opinion on hcg during the cycle? Is it over kill? Is it a must?

Burp!

You run clomid during a cycle?

Anyway on longer cycles hcg is a must in my book. 2500iu * 2 every 6-7 week and i would also use it for PCT.

I absolutely agree HCG is a must... I don't believe there can ever be overkill when trying to restore your natural levels and keeping your gains. HCG does also inhibit your natural levels so you want to end HCG a few days before beginning clomid.

I use the clomid during the cycles because It keep my boys hanging around. I think it also helps as an anti E and with water retention.

I've done it @ 50mg eod myself and I have to agree that my boys don't atrophy too bad because of it.

It's been my experience that hcg is much more effective at maintaining testicular size and function throughout a cycle than clomid.

500IU's 2x weekly (e.g., Wed. & Thrus.) has worked very well for me.

The only concern I have about using HCG that much is desensitizing the body to LH. Are you talking using every week during your cycle or for 2-3 weeks in the middle?

SO... If I have a 3 month cycle... should I use HCG in the middle???

In week 7-9? Alongside the other gear?

About 2500Iu every week?

I just read a great article on this over at basskiller. Rather than repeat it, I will direct you there (sorry, I don't know how to make a link). But it was quite informative. There was a good blurb on the effective non-inhibiting dosages and timing in there, along with general info. Hope this helps.

I use it every week of the cycle, starting around week 4 if using long-acting meds. I think the Leydig cell damage issue has been overplayed. Check out the prescribing info for Pregnyl by Organon and you'll find some seriously heavy dosages and schedules recommended.

Some people use huge doses, like 2500 or even 5000 iu/1 day/wk which, it seems to me, would increase the likelihood of LH desensitivity -500iu/day for two days/week and a few days at the end worked well for me. The idea of HCG as I understand it is to avoid testicular shrinkage and it should only be used to prevent/correct it. If you don't get shrinkage, you shouldn't need it.

I would not say he "hi Jacked" the thread. The question is related to the topic and does not stray from the questions asked.
