Resistant to HCG?

**aestheticmind** · 05-15-2013, 11:31 AM

I've done 6 cycles now... the first two I didn't use HCG , the next three I did HCG @ 250iu twice per week (500iu/week total), and on this last cycle I tried 300iu e3d. I notice no difference whatsoever in the size of my balls during cycle, and also no difference in how quickly I recover post-cycle. I know it's legit HCG, so is it possible I am just resistant? Should I try using more, and if so... should I do more injections (eod maybe?) or more IUs per injection?

You're not always going to "see" a difference. If your boys remain the same size then you win. Main thing is you are recovering post cycle. Hopefully BW bears this out. If so, keep using it on cycle at normal doses.

Kel is right here; if things stay the same size even on cycle, you're lucky.

What are you using to reconstitute it? If it's just NaCL sterile water, instead of bacteriostatic water (has B.A. in it), then your HCG is probably dead shortly after you reconstitute it

curious, how does normal saline(NaCl) decrease the efficacy of HCG as compared to bacteriostatic water?

In steril whater bacteria forms quicker

so bacteria breaks down the HCG ?

Bacteria man it breaks down as in an abcess in your injection sight

'The boys' definitely don't stay the same size while on cycle, so that's why I was wondering if there's some other issue. Yes I am using bacteriostatic water, and yes I am keeping it refrigerated. I'm injecting it IM, maybe I should try sub-q?

I've never had problems recovering... I typically bounce back very quickly. But, I would like 'the boys' to retain more size on cycle. Actually, the size isn't really the concern, it's that they stay tight and 'up' against my body almost constantly. It's uncomfortable, and even slightly painful, especially during sex. I always hope that HCG will keep them running normally, but it never does. I also don't notice recovering any faster compared to the first two cycles where I wasn't using HCG.

Have you done a pregnacy test on your HCG ?
