hcg , how much?

[john5]

whats the recomended protocal for hcg while on hrt? would 500 units 3x a week be to much?

also has anyone taken larger doses of hcg with hrt to make muscle gains?

novarel comes in 10,000 units , is that the same as iu's?

Large doses are not the way to go. 500iu max per dose.IMHO 250 is probaly better. Smaller more frequent is the way to go. IU = international unit, so yes it is the same. Probably wont gain much from hcg as far as muscle.

Anything more then 500iu per week runs the risk of screwing up your nuts. I do 250iu 2days before and then 1 day before I inject my test. The only real reason for hcg is to keep your nuts from shutting down and shrinking to the size of penuts. Very little if any anabolic effects

[john5]

wouldnt the hcg spike your test a bit higher even at 250 iu 2x a week?

[Spyke]

maybe a bit, in my case I was only making enough test to put me at 150 on the labcorp scale.

HCG raises my T levels quite a bit. It just depends on whether your problem is the testes not working or the LH is not being produced.
