HCG: Sub Q, or IM?

[Chilihead]

I have been reading a lot of conflicting opinions on the best way to administer HCG. With a thread specifically dedicated to this question, hopefully I will be able to get some intelligent opinions and make the most educated decision I can when I start my Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) therapy. Thanks.

Sub-q

Why?

subq, maybe luv handles, because that is the way that was repeatedly suggested to me by several veteran TRTers...they feel IM is totally unnecessary, but if someone wanted to they sure could, there might even be less E2 made from the HCG?

They also prefer 250iu three times a week on MWF but you always get various opinions on that.

Just start with whatever plan you select and then adjust it from there as you go to meet your needs.

Doing Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) 3x a week is silly. It has a biphasic pattern. So when you do a shot of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) it stimulates testosterone production initially, but then the testicles go in to what is called a refractory period for 72 hours. So that shot 48 hours later goes to waste.

Also, 250 IU of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a waste of time and money IMO. I highly doubt 250IU does anything at all when your injecting exogenous testosterone. it takes 600IU a week to get most men up to 600ng/dl for monotherapy, so your gonna need more than that when introducing exogenous T.

Sub-C or IM? It doesn't matter so go with the less intrusive injection, Sub-C

My mother was on Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) and I would help her with her injections...subQ

I was planning on doing 250iu twice, weekly. Monday and Thursday.

I am already injecting Test P EOD so the intrusion isn't bothersome to me. Thank you for the info, and the opinion.

I think he is referring to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) JP

500 twice a week right? Does it need to be timed specifically around when you pin test? Say if you pin test on Tuesday a.m., what days should one pin the HCG?

 

[SicVic]

how about 2500IUs 2 shots before PCT????? That would prob hurt your balls right?

why would that hurt your balls?

Whoever started the desensitization rumor screwed a lot of guys over.

Think about the amount Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is made by big pharma, you can get 1500, 2500 or 5000 IU vials....... you know why they come in those sizes right?

Because that is the dosage that was intended to be used.

Well I can not give you advice but I will tell you what I do when I am on a regimen like that

If I was doing Tue injects I would inject my Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) like Sat and Monday

If I was doing 2 T shots a week I would do 2 days before on 1 and 1 day before on the other
