Conflicting opinions on HCG

[newaza007]

I have recently spoken to two doctors familiar with steroid cycles and PCT. In regards to HCG, they have given me two conflicting views. One recommends taking HCG one week after your last AAS shot. He recommends takings 1000 iu of HCG every day for 10 days.

The other doc told me that HCG should be run two times per week (at does between 250-500 iu) throughout the entire steroid cycle. He states that HCG should then be discontinued within one week after your last AAS shot.

Any thoughts on this matter???

don't even bother asking, because you are gonna get guys that tell you that both options are the best.

IMO, there is not one single best option for everybody. you just have to try both options out and if one works well for ya, keep it.

It sounds to me like they are both referring to HCG as "pct", which is plain wrong.....it's nothing more than a prelude to pct. You use HCG to regain testicular size before moving on to clomid....that's all there is to it. HCG isn't itself pct.

 

[that]

whos has it at a decent price?

No, they weren't referring to HCG as PCT. They also had their recommendations/opinions regarding clomid, nolva, etc.

They just had conflicting opinions as to how to use HCG. As I stated in my original post, one felt that HCG should just be used at the end of the cycle to "jump start" the testes while the other doctor felt that you should just keep the testes going throughout the cycle by using HCG from the beginning.

I just find it somewhat confusing.

i dont know this from first hand experience. But alot of guys say that they feel much better when they are on cycle when they use hcg throughout the cycle.

I've gone both ways, and strongly believe that there is no reason beyond aesthetics to use HCG throughout. Regaining testicular size to "prime" the testosterone synthesis machinery (Leydig cells) is all that's important IMO

It's just like driving to any given destination. There's usually more than one way to get there.

I agree, but I just feel, to use your analogy, that I'm taking one left, while too many others are taking 3 rights to get to the same place. I'm all about efficiency, and unnecessary wear and tear on the body isn't.....well, necessary.

Do you have an opinion in regards to the doses? One recommended 1000iu every day for 10 days, the other recommend 250-500 iu 2xwk.

Einstein, personally, I only use hcg at the end of a cycle. However, I do see where folks on very long cycles and/or those using Deca for sustained periods may benefit from using hcg mid cycle. It appears the longer the hpt axis is suppressed, the more difficult it is to restart. Of course, using hcg is not restarting the hpt axis but it does restart test production, which is beneficial in the long run.

Therefore, I would say it depends on the cycle and cycle length.

I had used HCG in the first manner- but have had great success using 250iu twice a week every week- and almost all the lads in the upper levels of competing that i talk with are using this method now. my blood work shows its very effective indeed.
