HCG necessary?

[pharmtech]

Thinking about adding HCG to my current cycle just to be safe and bring the boys back before PCT. I am currently on my second week of Test E at 500 mg/wk and T-bol at 50 mg/day. There is no shrinkage to speak of as of yet, but I am considering running some HCG for the last 2-4 weeks of my cycle at 500 iu's every 3rd or 4th day. A few questions . . .

1) How necessary do you consider this for a 12 week cycle of Test E? Should clomid and nolva alone for PCT be enough for this cycle?

2) Would I run the HCG up until my last shot, or up until PCT? (should I keep running it for the 2 weeks after my last Test shot?)

3) How quickly should I expect my boys to come back during PCT? (I know this varies from person to person, but I am looking for personal experiences)

Thanks for any and all feedback.

start here:

STATS STATS STATS
what does your diet look like?
how old are you?
how tall are you?
how much do you weigh?
what is your body fat %?
how long have you been training?
have you ever done a cycle before?
what was it?
how did it work for you?
what are your specific goals?

THEN you can do a search on here for hcg . there are many threads and methods of using it.
I will be using 1000/week during my cycle and ending it before PCT shooting twice a week.
Like I said, there are many views on HCG and when to use it so do some research

I use HCG only in longer cycles (>15 week) from week 7 until the pct in a dose of 600IU/week (300IU twice)
