Thread: Hcg

**fanatic** · 04-25-2006, 10:38 AM

Ok fellas, I have a question about running HCG for the duration of longer (17 weeks) cycle. All of the information I have found leads me to conclude that HCG, when used in moderation, is relatively safe. However, when discussing my upcoming cycle with one of my close friends and IFBB pro, he told me that running HCG for extended periods of time could cause primary hypogonadism (permanent testicular athrophy). This guy has forgotten more about AAS use than I'll probably ever know so I it really threw me off when he told me this. Is my research right or is he?

Do what works for you. I use HCG during PCT. Its worked for me and I had the bloodwork to prove it 2-3 weeks after PCT ended.

Do you use it through out the duration of the cycle also?

I just tried it with this cycle for the first time. I started around week 7, since that's when atrophy would be more likely to occur. I plan on using until week 5 of my pct, but I'll play it by ear at that point.
