Confused About HCG Use

[DaBao]

Hi everyone, I am planning my first ever cycle (Test E 500 mg), but I read 2 different versions of HCG use:

1. HCG @ 250 iu every 3.5 days (500 iu/week total) During Cycle
2. during the last 4 weeks of a cycle, you shoot 500iu of hcg twice a week or 1000iu once a week. For pct, 500iu ed or 1000iu eod.

Which version is better？Thanks.

Haven't used hug yet but I will be starting my next run to help with recovery. From what I've read it is best to use 500iu a week while on cycle and discontinue week of last pin. I've seen quite a few people go against anyone using it during pct as it defeats the purpose.

I used it 250iu Monday/Thursday week 4-10 of my cycle with very good success. Made PCT a breeze.

Yeah it's supposed to be used on cycle only. It may be used in pct if the user is not recovering after conventional treatment. Some guys use throughout the entire/majority of cycle. Some guys use the last month of cycle, probably depends on how strong the cycle is.

For a test only cycle I would use it at the end. I would use while test ester clears and discontinue right before starting pct.

HCG should be used on cycle. NEVER as part of your PCT. You can run it up until 4 days before you start PCT but DO NOT run it during PCT. It is a suppressive compound and will not allow you to recover if you are on it while you are trying to recover.

The reason it is more beneficial to use on cycle and not just during the time between the end of the cycle and the start of PCT (which is an old school protocol btw) is because HCG mimics LH (Leutinizing Hormone) and in doing so keep you testes 'awake' during the cycle and doesn't allow them to atrophy. This will allow for a much smoother faster recovery because you testes will actually be able to receive the signals sent by the pituitary gland during PCT. Atrophied testes will not be able to receive these signals (hormones LH and FSH) because they are essentially dead. It doesn't matter how well you stimulate you pituitary during PCT if you testes are dead youre fucked. And one will often run into this issue using HCG only during the period between the end of the cycle and the beginning of PCT because his testes will have been turned off for too long. Why let them shut down completely and then try to restart them if we can use HCG to never even allow them to shut down? Make sense.

There are 2 schools of thought. One is to use 250iu 2x a week or use a larger dosage after your last pin, but you need to allow increased test levels from hcg to drop low enough to start pct. I have used both. Both ways worked for me.

Like everyone else has said. I personally shoot 3x a week and divide my 5000iu bottle into 6-7 weeks giving me 714-833 it a week divided into 3 doses. 500iu a week is probably fine.

250iu 2x a week stop up to 3 days before pct. Simple. Thats how i do it Nyways
