What will HCG do to my Bloodwork?

[BigMC]

I am needing to do a couple weeks of hcg to reverse the atrophy I am seeing from using androgel . Will hcg rocket my test levels way up? I go in for blood work in a week so just wondering if i should wait to do it. Also, Will 500iu every 3 days for a few weeks be enough or should I do 1000iu every 3 days?

i'll bump this for you but tell me how long have you been on the gel and let me know how the hcg works?

Ive just completed 3 months. 10mg. I will hear back from my doc on test levels next week. My balls are really atrophied and tight in the sac. No droppage at all. I was thinking about doing a 5000 iu 4 week cycle where I run 1000 iu twice the first week then once for the next 3. What do you think about that? Or should I just do the 500iu everything 3 days? Im guessing im pretty shutdown after 3 months of gel use.

500IU every two days is enough they will come back in a couple of weeks

I am currently doing 2000IU a week, 5 days after 200mgs cyp a week. Is there any advantage to breaking up the HCG ?

Damn those are nice titties, but I digress. IMO its just easier on the system if you hit it with lower doses more often. Just my personal choice but you can do whatever works for you

I would guess that it would elevate your LH, ACTH and TSH. Thats only my guess, so unless you want to keep your levels low so to maximise your scripts i would hold off useing HCG just yet. I use it sat and sun @500iu each day, but thats just me.

I use 250iu 2 times a week, but have done cycles of it to get the balls back up. At 500iu a day for 10 days. I personally like the 2 times a week all the time dose. And damn those are some nice tits

kale...shoes on the other foot for a change? or should i say bra....LOL...i remember when you would switch up your avatar pics...but it was always same girl?

My endo prescribed me 1500 ius a week to raise my test levels, so with that said, I would be willing to bet that it would raise your natural test levels.

I was given HCG after telling the endo that I wanted something stronger than the gel.

Does everyone here use HCG IM or Sub-Q?

you can use it both ways Joe,
i think its the manufacturer that dictates which way to use it, i cant say ive noticed a difference either way tho.

Hey Joe, like Hitman says you can use it both ways, but it is a lot easier to do it SQ and I hear its quite painful if you do it IM although I have no personal experience of that

IM is simple. Just use an insulin needle in the thigh

That doesn't make sense, insulin needles are subcutaneous.

[CeeLo]

you cant hit the muscle with a 29g 1 inch needle?

Mine goes in the thigh everytime. Could actually go IM with a 1/2 inch.

[BigMC]

I use a 1/2in 29g in the stomach.

Lots of good info in this thread. While on TRT I ran it for 6 weeks along with the Test. I had scripts to do this all the time but didn't feel i needed it. So i would do 6 weeks on 6 weeks off. When I was on I did it this way..

M 100mg Cyp
T
W 100mg Cyp
T
F
S - 250iu HGC
S - 250iu HGC

This took my levels from 250 to 1000. If you get the HGC brand Novarel its VERY strong and will make your test and E's go up fast. Be Careful.

If you don't want high levels for a test don't use the HGC and stop cold for 10 - 14 days. Your T levels should be around 200...

Hope this helps
