Is HCG always recommended every cycle? i only do 5-8 week runs at small dosages (200-250mg) of trt, and my last cycle i recovered with ease with very very minor crash. I just saw an entire thread about hcg, but i have never used hcg and have recovered fine. Definitely would use it my next cycle having the knowledge for it, but if its not absolutely necessary then i would rather not do it.
