HCG and progesterone

[Carth]

Does HCG increase progesterone? I know what you all are going to say. You're all going to say...NO dumbass, it increases Test because it mimics LH"!

yes yes! I know! Not stupid! Been doing this game for 10 years now.

But I have read on many websites that HCG increases not only Test and Estrogen. But also progesterone in small amounts.

Is this true? Maybe I'm reading all these links wrong? And no I don't have the links. Just google the shit and you'll see what i mean. Or to Ask.com....seems like that site works a little bit better. IMO.

Sad. Know one knows this.

[Carth]

Still? Anyone know?

Most of us read the same articles online as you, so our opinion would be based on the same knowledge. IMO if you're asking for any other reason besides just to learn more, consult an endo.

Goodluck, and if you find a definite answer, I'd like to know just for the sake of knowing.

Yes. Using hCG will increase your progesterone levels.

When running Deca or Tren, I definitely notice a difference in my gyno after HCG injections wether it be estrogen or progesterone related. I would have to think its the later of the two because I run letro. I never had gyno until tren/deca, I ran just test, then test/EQ with no problems.My 2 cents.

anthony... do u know what is the mechanism for this in males?

Yes. Using hCG will increase your progesterone levels.

Question is...how much? We know HCG increases Test a lot! And in the process more estrogen forms from that. But how much progesterone? Is it a lot like the increase in Test?
