HCG Question

[biggymrat]

Currently I am on 160mg of Test C ew and .5mg AI every 3 days. I'm feeling pretty good and since I started the AI my joint pain has just about gone away.

My doctor gave me a script for HCG, but she said that if I started taking it that I should lower my T to 100mg ew and keep the same AI dose.

I was wondering if it makes sense for me to drop my T dose while on the HCG?

The HCG dose will be 500 iu ew.

First, HCG doesed weekly is not the way to go. If is only in the body a few days. So if you take it once a week, then your boys benefit a few days then shutdown, then start to atrophy again. Skip the shutdown and atrophy parts and do HCG at least twice a week. Many people do EOD. So if your doc has you on a tight leash with the script and knows how long that has to last, do 250 IUs twice a week. 500 IU in a single shot is really on the high side anyway. Many experts claim 350 IU is the max single dosage and 250 IU is the optimal, normal dosage.

HCG will energize your leydig cells. This will cause an increase in E2 produced by the leydic cells. It will also cause an increase in T produced by the leydig cells. Higher T will mean higher E2 conversion. So overall you can expect T and E2 to go up. Do you want to cut your 160 mg of T to 100 mg? My approach, if I felt good at the current dosage, would be to add the HCG and see how it goes. Again, if your doc has you on a tight leash with the script this won't work out too well because you will run out of T to inject before you can refill your script. Fortunately for me, my leash is so loose I can build up extra to stash in case of emergency.

Simply said and right on GNBM!

Yeah, I planned on splitting the 500 IUs into two injections per week.

500 iu per injection is too much at one time and will/can affect intratesticular E2 production. Just as you plan; split the dosage into two 250 iu per week and you will be right on!

make sure you shot 48 and 24 hours prior your test shots.

Yep, that was my plan also due to Dr. Crisler's recommendations.
