conflicting testimonials on HCG. so...what is the correct answer?

**hxt** · 05-23-2017, 08:41 AM

Ive been researching the use of HCG to assist in test E cycles on different forums. some say that it should are run at 250 Its twice a week throughout cycle. others say that your body builds a tolerance to the LH FSH, it raises estrogen and can shut you down. I have been afraid of this happening, and Im on week 3 of my Test e cycle (500 MG a week)

should I wait until the last 4 weeks to start or do you think I should just start now?

You are already shut down when on cycle from the Test E you are shooting. LH and FSH levels drop due to negative feedback (natural). HCG is basically replacement LH. It prevents your LH levels from dropping low and some say this aids with recovery.

Start when you start the cycle.

So
Is it too late tor me? Or can i start now. I thought that the body gets desensitized to the hcg and it raises estrogen as well

The study shows that there is downregulation/loss of receptors with HCG use.

Good job researching medical studies... Usually new members are not as diligent with research as you are.

Its true, high HCG dosages will desensitize leydig cells in testis. Recommended HCG dosages have been decreasing by expert TRT experts.

Now the study you posted mentions 75ui.... but in a rat... The equivalent in a human would be a megazillion UIs

.

250ui twice a week is a low dosage for a male human and shouldn't bring desensitization problems, it is the recommended dosage during cycle up to 3 days from PCT start.

Really dont recommend over 1000ui per week, talking from (bad) experience here.

do you think I should start now even though Im on week 3 of my test 3 cycle? or is it essentially pointless and too late? since there is a dramatic decrease in natural LH after the first week or so of Testosterone supplementation
