Yes. Maybe JohnnyB meant to say/should have said that 300 iu is an adequate dose and that dosages above that will further elevate estrogen, which can be an issue in and of its own.Originally Posted by hooker
I'ven seen a good few labs in a very good HRT forum and I don't need any studies to tell me that hCG increases estrogen and that the more hCG, the more the hCG increase.
As for using hCG during the cycle, I think I have an easy example of why it is good to use it during the cycle. I've heard from guys that didn't use hCG during the cycle, had their balls atrophy, use hCG after the cycle, and perhaps only one of the two balls popped back. Not many guys want that to happen to them.
Use hCG during the cycle and the leydig cells never shut down. As soon as the body starts sending them LH (during PCT), they are ready to respond. I just don't see much benefit to using hCG at this stage. Usage of hCG certainly isn't likely to help with the HP part of the HPTA during PCT as far as I know.
