    HCG late in cycle worth it?

    Hi I am currently doing the beginner first time cycle.


    500mg/TEST E week 1 -12
    armidex EOD .25

    PCT starts mid week 14.

    However when i started the cycle I had no way to get HCG and it looked like i couldnt get it at all ever.
    It didnt seem like it was the end of the world just make my PCT harder so i went ahead.

    Currently on week 7 and i got the call that i could get 5000IU from my guy for not cheap.

    Is it worth just running it for last week 8-12.?
    Do i still do the dosages of 500IU/week or should i raise the dosage listed in the beginner thread.

    Thank you in advance

    It will definetly benefit you to stsrt now.

    I do not know for certain if raising the dose will help but i would assume it would.

    I will be starting my 3rd cycle soon, but I won't be running the HCG throughout the cycle. I have it coming in week 9 @ 1000iu/wk (2 pins per week) for 5 weeks, which will bring me into my PCT.

    Not exactly advice, but just letting you know that tons of people add HCG in the second half of the cycle, rather than run it all the way through.

    Why not cheap? It’s very cheap, or at least it should be...

    I’m guessing they only add it in halfway through because they couldn’t get it st the begining...

    Yes it would be beneficial to add on now. In the future, wait to have everything before cycling and always buy more than what you need. The majority of AAS-related products have a long shelf life when properly stored.

    How comes?

    The old way seems to use it along with pct.
    The new way says to run throughout.

    How comes you start at week 9, And what dosage? What’s the theory?

    Or stick with 500 for my beginner cycle

    to the OP - not a problem at all . I generally advise guys run HCG towards the end of their cycle and for the 2 week post cycle leading into PCT.
    this is an extremely efficient way of doing a PCT ,, let alone it being an actual problem by not having HCG until the end of the cycle (again, I often times recommend doing it that way anyhow).

    edit. of course its person and context dependent. but in most situations an HCG blast the second half of cycle and going into PCT works very well.
    IF your also concerned about the "aesthetics" and size of your Testes, then sure go ahead and run it the whole cycle. but not necessary for PCT to be ran the whole cycle.

    LH and FSH are not somehow magically shut down the moment you inject AAS . all HCG does is mimic these hormones. you don't need to mimic them from day one of your cycle.. you need to mimic them once total suppression occurs and the pituitary is no longer producing them

    How long does it take for total suppression from the day of the first pin?

    depends a lot on the person, the drugs, the dosages etc..

    example.
    - Test E at say 600mg per week.. total suppression at about 6-7 weeks (thats a guess)
    - Winstrol at 25mg per day.. total suppression , Never. its not that suppressive and won't fully shut you down. despite popular dogma, you can run Winstrol only cycles and not PCT and recover just fine.
    - Tren Ace at 500mg per week.. total suppression at about 4 weeks. you'll likely need a full PCT just from a short dabble with this drug

    that just shows how different it can be depending on the drug and dosages etc.

    You need to run HGH more than a cycle length anyway.

    Never too late

    Yes, HCG 500iu 2x a week is worth it.. start it ASAP, it will help recovery even this late...

    Yes, it's definitely worth adding at the end of a cycle!
