Anyone have some insight on this.....

i'm doing 500iu with my twice/week injects, sunday/wednesday.

A bro on mesomorph.net has done this method for a while now and says he recovers much faster than he used to when not using this method. Actually, he was only using 500iu every 7 days starting week 2 of every cycle.

At that low of a dose, I doubt desensitation would be an issue. CEM has a good read on Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) protocols.

Looks like they're talking about "fertility" type doses which can be 2,500 or 5,000 IU 3x a week, or even higher (and that is what some old cycles used isn't it?). I believe Swale said that 250 was what they would normally get, and what he uses for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) people. Those doses are 10x higher than the 500 IU x2.

I *really* don't understand why getting the LH signal from Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) vs "naturally" would make any difference to the testes, or how that could make the testes stop responding to the signal. Isn't that what controls production every day anyway?

I've never seen the basis for this claim, and would like to if it could actually happen.

I agree.
I've never seen any evidence that permanent shutdown can happen.
In some studies Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) was used > 20 weeks, and test was usually in upper normal range throughout the whole study...


And they used 1500 IU's or more ...
