Doses ofr HCG and Arimidex?

[rinkerx]

500 units twice per week of HCG and .5mg twice per week of Arimidex?

I wanted to space it out more and do 500 units once a week and .5mg once a week would this be alright? Or wouldn't it be worth me to space it out? It's mostly the cost thats keeping me from doing each twice a week?

This is for TRT not a steroid cycle, and Test injections would be 200mg once a week.

500 units of HCG per week may well be enough (split into 2 weekly injections of 250), but the adex will really depend on bloodwork.

I started out doing 200mg T / week and .5 adex per week and my E2 ended up too high. Doubled adex and drove E2 kind of low.
Now I'm doing 100mg T twice/week and .25 adex twice/week and my E2 seems to be where I want it.

So I'm back to the same total dose, but the twice a week injection seems to make the difference.

I don't see a conflict there. hcg will increase test while on your pct but it will also take care of side caused by high E2, which can be a problem post cycle.

Your dosing schedule doesn't look right though. 250 iu hcg ew would be enough and 0.25 mg every 3 days would be better with the AI. With a low dose of test like you use for pct it may not be needed at all unless you are sensitive to E2 related sides.

Just just my opinion. I have been on trt for 7 years and do not find it to be needed. I have never had much problem with E2 evening running high doses of aromatizing AAS when I ran some pretty heavy cycles.

Sorry to double post but I can't edit my posts, because I'm new here. I meant the AI may not be needed, I would use hcg though if you notice the twins losing weight You have to keep up appearances you know.

Your post seems to be all over the place... first of all OP is posting about TRT, so why do you keep bringing up pct? Are you typing pct when you mean trt? It would make more sense, but then you've also got the "post cycle" in there.

250iu hCG per week is pretty light. 200mg/week is not a low dose for trt.

i'd say if you switch to injecting 2x/wk that alone will help control e2 conversion and therefore maybe lowering your ai dose would be ok. if you're going to only dose your ai once a week try to time it when your test levels peak. I inject 100mg test cyp mon/thursday, therefore I take .5mg adex tuesday night when my levels peak. it's too early to tell if its working for me as i just started trt but that is what the specialist told me to do. If i need to take adex twice a week i will take another dose friday night or sat morning.

From what I have seen on this forum you would want to get at least 700mg of HCG a week (Split into two injections, one every 3.5 days). With 200 mg of test once a week you may need .5 mg twice a week. If you split your injections into two 100 mg injections you will be able to keep your e2 low with .5mg once a week. Your best bet is to take your time and get blood work to ensure that you are dialed in where you need to be. Don't make this a guessing game when it comes to your hormones!

HCG 250ius 2-3 a week is sufficient for most but you wont know until you try.
Make sure you split up your testosterone injections, 200mgs in one pin is going to cause a lot of aromatisation.

Also, are you sure you need an ai. If you are just starting your program you should give it 6 weeks and get blood work before hopping on arimidex. A good amount of guys on reasonable TRT doses don't need ai's. If you do decide to take arimidex anyways I'd split the dose into twice a week the day after each of your testosterone injections, and start at .25mg.
Again everyone is different.
