hcg should be started on week 3 of the cycle, and stopped on the day of your last pin, don't use it during pct.
Incorrect from a medical point of view. Even though everyone is different just the bloat promotes increased sinus blockage and less than nominal sleep. This will up blood pressure and sleep heart rate and reduce oxygen content of the blood and that is the bare minimum of what it will do. Higher than normal estrogen(your body's chosen level and not the range on a generic blood test) impacts the thyroid directly reducing T4 and T3 from nominal values. If you didnt AI then most likely you did not blood test enough to see the impact.

Because you can do it doesn't mean you shoulld
