Hcg for pct??????????

**Leeroy187** · 01-20-2011, 11:05 AM

Hi all.
I am currently on a dbol test and deca cycle.
A mate told me to use hcg instead of clomid (which I'm using!) as a pct?
I don't know much about pct's so any input would be great. I'm gona stick with my clomid unless I hear better!
Cheers lads!

You can run hcg upto a week before your pct however you need to stop then as hcg can further suppress ones hpta...

So keep the clomid...

So hcg is not a pct? What does hpta mean???

Hpta = hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis..

Hcg is used to stop testicular shrinkage, not recommended as part of a pct imho....

HCG is so important to stimulate the testes and follow the normal protocol with clomid which will assist recovery

HCG is especially important if you are taking deca . Deca really shuts you down hard and the hcg will help give you a boost and then continue with a normal clomid/tamox pct. The clomid is necessary

so when do you start the hcg and how much and how often

Hcg is use to keep testicular function normal, (to avoid atrophic or shirking) usually start at 4 week into the cycle, 2x/week at dosage from 250 to 500ui/injection, need to stop on the end off cycle, hcg its not use on pct. Pct its normal at nolvadex and clomid.
