HCG concerns

[Session25]

Hey guys, i am going to be starting my first Test E only cycle in a week and have a question about HCG. My plan was to run HCG during weeks 3-12 at 500ius/wk. However, i will be on vacation during week 3.

i know i have to keep it refrigerated and this may be a problem. I will not be able to bring the HCG with meet for week 3 bc i wont be able to refrigerate it where i am going. (family reasons). would not starting HCG till week 4 be ok? or not? so just do 500iu/wk thru weeks 4-12?

And by the way, during this week of vacation, i will still be following a strict bulk diet and a good lifting routine.

Hcg

HCG is recommended for taking throughout the whole cycle, not just week 3-12. I don't think one week will be that bad. I'm gonna be in the same situation too. Still take your test e though. Also take an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) as well to prevent chipmunk face/bloating and acne. What's your post cycle therapy (pct) plan?

It won't hurt to take a week off. Just continue as normrmal when you return. Take a LE test dose before you leave.

I started my hcg the first week and went on vacation last week also my week 3. Before i left i shot a whole 500mg instead of 250mg and just continued when i got back home. No issues. You should be fine wih 1 or 2 missed shots.

Okay cool. I might shoot 500iu instead of 250iu the day before vacation to make up for missing a week.
Here's my cycle and post cycle therapy (pct) plan:

Cycle:
-WEEK 1-12 Test E 500mg/wk (2 250mg Mon/Thurs)
-WEEK 3-12 HCG 500iu/wk (2 250iu Mon/Thurs)
-WEEK 1-12 Aromasin 12.5mg ED

post cycle therapy (pct): Start post cycle therapy (pct) 2 weeks after last Test E injection (Week 15-18)
-Nolvadex 40/40/20/10 ED
-Clomid 50/50/50/50 ED

Most people reccommend starting HCG week 1 instead of week 3 like you have planned.

And shooting 500iu the day before you leave would be pointless. A beret option would be to shoot 250iu the day you leave and 500iu shot when you return to give them a kick start.

hmm..i only have enough HCG for 10 weeks..i might have to order more.When should HCG end? After week 12? or 10 days after last test inject?

 

[UserAt204]

It's best to run the entire cycle then get a 5000iu vial and start 500iu a day starting the day after your last test inject(LE) for 10 days. Wait four more days and start your serm therapy.

HCG has to be refrigerated?!?!!?! ooohhh boy...i just had some shipped to me....if you dont ship with a cold pack or something is it going to be worthless??? sorry not trying to thread jack...

 

[UserAt204]

No it's fine man. It really needs to be in fridge once reconstituted but should be in powder form as well. It's fine

GHT is the culprit to acne not estrogen?!? right?? so how would an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) help acne?? it would def help reduce water retention like you said but i dunno about the acne...

 

[UserAt204]

Not 100% sure on the cause but many people will have an increase in acne with an increase in estro.

 

[#1 CBR]

DHT**** lol.... im also not sure...so you very well could be right...but i would be interested to know why...perhaps the estro gets converted to DHT? therefore if the estro is lowered so is DHT??? thats just a guess...

I'm sure cashout could answer the acne question. Hopefully he will read this.

huh... i thought it was estro that caused acne..... when i started to break out more late in my cycle i just upped the aromasin and it helped reduce the acne....

 

[UserAt204]

Misc you are correct. High estro does have an effect.
