HRT with HCG (should it be used)?

[VenicePump]

Should HCG be used when taking testosterone injection per week?

I do not know much about HCG, but I was told it helps keep the natural testosterone production up? so your balls don't shrink?

Yes, among other things. There is a FAQ with more information.

Yea that's what I was wondering. I need to ask my doctor about that. He told me that at my age I should be fine. If anything does arise he will incorporated some HCG , but he said not everyone gets shut down as bad as others.

I will say that hCG helped me in the libido and all-around "feel good" department. It's also more comfortable having the balls hang lower vs. higher, at least IMO.

HCG is fairly cheap too right? I mean like really cheap per month. Maybe I need to tell my doc to go ahead and give it to me. I would imagine I can do IM injections as well? So I could just inject it while I do my test injection?

EVERYBODY shuts down - period. Don't know why he would say that. But fact is, using enough test to get you to normal levels will shut you down. Some are not as bad with the effects, but all lose natural production after a while. I would say I wish I was on it as part of my protocol when I started. This stuff is awesome and its only my second shot.

Can be cheap. With insurance mine is $4 a month for Novarel 10000iu (what a waste too). You will have to bounce it against your insurance co.

hcg is not cheap at all. i had to run through hoops to get it for 79 dollars! all the other places were 220. novarel is pricey....pregnyl i got for 79...it has a 60 dayshelf life so not bad.

I mean how much for a monthly supply?

The guys I know that take test all year around, most of them do not even take HCG (not that they have mentioned anyways).

[powerlifterty16]

well the 79 dollar pregnyl should last about 9 wks or so at 350 iu 3x per week...but most people use 250 iu so you should get two months

Oh that's not bad.... I could probably even get 3 months from that... I mean if I am able to get 10,000 IU for $80 dollars.

Is there a difference between taking 200 IU 3x per week vs 350 IU 3x per week?

[powerlifterty16]

im taking only hcg right now and no test, so that's why the dose is a little higher. the hcg doesnt last long once opened. some brands last 60 days, others only last 30
