HCG Side Effects

[BodybuilderX]

After my 12 week Test E Cycle, will blasting with HCG 1000-1500iu for 10 shots cause possible Gyno or an increase in my prostate gland?

Should I increase the dosage of my AI:ADEX to counteract the effect of gyno?

hcg can definitely cause a spike in testosterone levels, I'd increase the adex if you're having issues.
bloodwork is always a good idea too.

On testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) 100mg test cyp e4d and 250iu HCG e4d I was having to take .5mg adex ed and my e2 was still 33. I dropped the HCG completely lowered my adex to. 5mg e2d my e2 was 23 three weeks later.
I guess my point is I would not chance it. I would double the adex a few days to a week before the blast and keep it there until a few days to a week after the blast ends then start tapering down throughout post cycle therapy (pct). Just my opinion.

Thanks guys for the support and suggestions, these were my thoughts as well, increasing Aromatase inhibitor (AI) dosage to counteract the Gyno effect of HCG and then taper down the Aromatase inhibitor (AI) until end of PCT.

Any other educated suggestions out there? I could use all the help i can get

I just ended my 10 shots of hch, 2000iu eod for 10 days. I kept my adex at .5 eod from the start of my cycle and will be running it to the very end. No problems at all.

No Gyno problems or HCG related side effects?

And is 2000iu too much for aromatization?

depends on the person. may need letro with HCG. Scally has written many times one has to get a sense for how they respond to HCG........ he is the only one who has ever published peer reviewed medical research on the treatment of Anabolic Steroid Induced Hypogonadism.................HCG directly stimulates aromatization in the leydig cells, not just testosterone.

as far as HCG goes......

Alright, I guess i'll just stick with a lower dosage of HCG,possibly 1000-1500iu for my blast and perform blood work afterwards to see where my levels are at,

Thanks Oak

You will know if it is giving you estrogen symptoms, if so increase Aromatase inhibitor (AI), or use letro

DET is on point like always. These questions are all so subjective I have a hard time answering any thread these days. Everyone wants a definitive answer, myself included, but like my good man DET stated you have to see how you respond.

I would not go over 1500iu, at that point I feel that you have in a sense reached a saturation dose and going any higher will probably not provide much benefit and like DET stated, hcg cause aromatizing from the lydegs, this is estro that really is not effected by an Aromatase inhibitor (AI).

And as someone above posted about there testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose plus hcg and needing .5mg adex eod I believe. For me, 150mg prop ED, I only need .25mg letro 1-2 a week, 1g of long ester test.3 adex 1-2 times a week, and aromisin maybe 6.25-12.5 every few days. So we are all very different.

DET has a lot of knowledge and experience and has written up many basics based on average males for us to start as a guide, but then you adjust as needed from there. Some of the studies I've seen, 25mg a day of aromisin did not crash the estro in normal men, and they were not on gear, yet I can't take close to that dose, maybe I'm turning into a woman and need more estro, lol.

But you are on the right track, 1 you are taking advantage of hcg use, and two you are considering the possibility of sides or increase in estro. I wouldn't get to worried and start increasing doses just yet, go based off previous experience, and if no previous experience, stick with the dose you have been on, and increase by small increments if needed.

DET I use to hate letro, but I'm enjoying using such a small amount. I got really bloated from too much prop (just in face) so I took one dose of letro and I must have pissed 20 times that day, I kept waking up in the middle of the night. Lol. But it worked well

I hear that! it can be cost effective too cause you can use so little

wake up the next day 8 lbs lighter hahaha

Very informative response guys, appreciate I won't tamper with dosing unless estro levels are a tad high. stick with the basics. Might hav to get me some Letro.I only have Adex on hand at the moment.
