hCG question

[2Dumb2Plumb]

hey folks,

I'm on my final stretch with my first cycle. I've been using hCG since week 10 at 500iu's twice a week. After every TestE injection I get a dull ache/pain in my right testicle. I also noticed my right testicle is a lot smaller than my left. No biggie, comes with the territory. But I find it weird that my right testicle hurts only and not the left. Also any experienced guys on here can tell me if I should up my hCG dosage perhaps 1000iu's isn't enough to send a signal? Advice is much appreciated. Thanks again.

Actually can't wait to run PCT.

What week in this cycle are you at now?

End of week 14 of a 16 week cycle. Figured why not extend it since I was doing great, still am. Your first cycle you make a few mistakes the first couple of weeks so I figured get all the noob shit out of the way and run it for another 4 weeks.

I have no experience with hcg, so I won't be any help, just wanted to comment that my right testicle also shrank more on my cycle - weird...

Yeah it's soo fucking weird... With hCG and Test my right testicle hurts/aches. I can't wait for PCT. for now on I think I'm just going to run 14 week cycles or i do an extended cycle I'll push further and just add short esters... Because I see now gains do taper off after week 12.. And you got week 13-14 and possibly 15 of high test tapering off so it was kind of pointless running to week 16 but I rather commit to two more weeks.

My gains definitely stalled at around week 10-11. At that point I felt like I was putting on more fat and water than anything. I lowered my cals and stuck it out another 3-4 weeks just maintaining. It sucked ass keeping the cals high during pct bc I felt bloated as shit every day. Finally started my cut 2 weeks ago and am feeling MUCH better.

I don't think you need to increase your hcg... I run 250 iu 2x a week with no issue during cycle... I also don't think the hcg has anything to do with your testicle pain and the test probably doesn't either... it's more likely to be something you have done to yourself... an injury.. maybe from lifting maybe something else but it sounds more like epididimitus.. spelled wrong I'm sure... but this is something I dealt with my first cycle... from straining during workouts...

I'm running Var and Test... Complete opposite. I'm losing body fat, leaning out and still getting a massive pump and strength. I can't consume enough calories. I think you let our estrogen run a little too high.... I'm currently running near a gram of test and I got no sides except for weight loss... And I got a really good source so I know it's not bunk... I just don't aromatize much or I Do I don't physically show it. What sucks is I fuck around with my adex too much . Next 3-4 week I'll bring my adex down to .25mg eod and see where that gets me.

I wish man, I thought the same shit. But I noticed it corresponds with my injections. Definitely LH signal is effected and shut down is happening more. But whatever, I mean I'm happy, I fee great, Just tired and run down due to stress from daily life and BS but without this cycle I would of never got to go back to work with a shred of strength or leanness that I have now. PCT should be fine. Btw epididymitis is an STD. If I strained something I would feel it while lifting, I don't. I feel it after injections and it feels like I blew a load or feel like I have to blow one. Just the right testicle. Also the right testicle retracts itself... Just noticed that.

Lol... it's not an std.... it can be spread by sexual contact but it's caused by a lot of things.... wearing boxers when working out is what the doc says caused mine.... running on the treadmill and basically the bouncing around causes the epididymus to swell or in some cases pull away from th3 testicle... painful as fuck

in my experience the pain is from your testicle restoring its size. Mine always ache when they shrink from suppression, and when they grow back.

My guess is that the hcg is signaling your testicles to function/grow and that's where the pain is coming from.

Some guys get the ache some don't. Using hcg from the start prevents the ache altogether for me.

Yeah my source told me to jump on right away when I told him I'm doing a 16 weeker... I jumped on at week 10. Next time hCG will be run from the beginning.

Idk what to think of this.

There is a calculation by weeks late for catching up with the hcg... I'd have to do some research to find it but it's a pretty simple process... basically your overloading your body with hcg... it's something crazy like 5000 iu
