hcg during a test cycle.

[steyrprohunter]

I'm doing some homework before I consider another cycle and need some advise. My first cycle was sust and dbol. 12 weeks in total with a correct pct. Gains were fantastic. Unfortunately my testicles shrank whick caused problems with the woman in my life..!! If I take 2 shots of 250iu a week for 3 weeks during my next test cycle will it prevent atrophy???

you may need to continue hcg for the whole duration of your cycle, not just 3 wks

Many of us on the TRT forum take that amount on an ongoing basis to prevent atrophy and keep some natural production going.

Indeed, you need to begin HCG therapy by no later than week 4 and continue with it until the end of your cycle. This will keep your nuts from shrinking and possible future problems with your woman...as shallow as that may be. This will also help your PCT to be far more effective as far as returning to full natural test production goes.

Hey guys, newbie/previous lurker here with a question on the hcg subject. I apologize in advance if I'm hijacking your thread, but it is exactly what I have a question on.

I'm 48, 195 lbs, 16%bf. While I was in Afghanistan last fall I got to know a guy on here that was very helpful on info for all this but I've forgotten his handle. I finally got around to going to my doc and had to almost beg him to do blood work for TRT. It came back 389 (348-1197 range?) SO he put me on Test Cyp 1 cc inj every 2 weeks. I just did my (self inj-no big deal) 3rd one 2 days ago. Guys, I can start to tell the boys are shrinking ! IS this HCG gonna fix that? and how much/how often/etc.? The doc didn't mention taking anything else. It sure looks like you guys are light years ahead of his knowledge base for this stuff.

Again I'm sorry if I'm hijacking. Thanks. Please feel free to PM ,e if it's tying up this thread.

250 iu 2x a week. Yes hcg is for the boys

[stpete]

Run thru cycle. And depending on the ester, start times will vary. Short ester run it as soon as end of week one. Long ester, begin at week 4 minimum.

Thanks guys. Stpete, how the sh*t do I pm you? Been trying to figure it out for 10 min ! ha

Good information for me as i'm going to start a Test Enth Cycle in the future. Reading the stickey's and the profile on HCH a guy gets drasticly contradicting information on methods or use. Some say use only HCG during pct, while others say run it all cycle. Some say never less then 500iu daily and other say less is fine.

You can spend days and days reading this stuff on PCT and HCG as i have, and still be confused.

Since i've read advice to use both during cycle, (starting several weeks after first injection for test enth) and also to use HCH for PCT I've personally planned on using both during and after cycle. I figured on starting at 250iu 2x per week. Progressing to 500IU 2x/week then 500 IU each day during PCT. Of course people say use 20mg Nolvadex per day whenever you use HCG.

Someone please advise. I want to guarantee i have no atrophy.

I also know that for test enth you are supposed to wait 2 weeks from your last injection before you start PCT. Should i lay off the HCG during this 2 week period or just use it straight threw??

Can anyone tell me weather i've got this correct or if i'm completely wrong.

I think the answers to my questions will shine some light on other users new to HCG also.

Thanks Techno ! I'm almost 50 rs old, and not a dumb guy by no means, and I really don't want a Chemistry PhD. In all respect to the gear pros on here...you guys know some sh*t ! I can't believe how involved all this gets. I was just as ignorant as the rest of the world thinking the huge muscle guys were just a bunch of dumb guys that didn't know anything except how to pick up iron...boy that's totally wrong ! You guys rock !

Anyway, I'm waiting for the answer to your Q too, thanks Techno.
