    how do you know if you're taking enough HCG?

    Hi,
    I know most people start on the250iu's every 3.5 days (twice a week) but how do you know if you're taking enough?

    Is it enough if your balls don't shrink?

    What if they shrink a little or if they're a little softer? Do you increase the dose?

    Is there a max dosage that you're not supposed to go past?

    I take 250 iu's every 3.5 days but I was thniking of increase it to 250 iu's every M, W & F.

    Thanks

    I've had the same questions that you do. How much is enough? Is it enough that your stones are still hanging and don't shrink? Or do I hope for more? I don't know of any objective data that equates size with dose. I take 250iu EOD and feel pretty good and my stones are almost like they were before. Almost. There is, however, a danger associated with dosing too much.

    For most men 250iu 2x per week is sufficient. For other men it is not. Best way to gauge if your dose is sufficiently saturation your leydig receptors enough (as barbaric as it is) is to stage the size of your testicles. If you notice some atrophy even on 250IU 2x per week then talk with your doctor and titrate your dose up to 350IU and so forth. Not to exceed 500IU 3x per week. My 2 cents.

    Thanks for the advice. I'm on 250iu's 2x a week and I feel softness and a little shrinkage the day before the shot. My wife also noticed some shrinkage.

    I'm gonna try 250iu's 3x a week (M-W-F) and see if that helps.

    Is it better to up the hCG dose to 350iu or add an third day of 250iu?

    I don't know but for now, I have to add a 3rd day since my needles are already filled at 250

    I started at 250 M-W-F, then bumped up to 500 M-W-F, hoping this would boost Testosterone . It didn't have any effect, but I liked the other benefits of HCG . I'm sticking with 250 M-W and a little extra (300) on Fridays. Seems sensible given the half life.
