"I advise my Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) patients to use small amounts of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) (250IU to 500IU) two days each week, right from the beginning of the cycle. This serves to maintain testicular form and function. It makes more sense to me to keep the horse in the barn, so to speak, then to have to chase it across three counties later on. I am also a big fan of maintaining estrogen within physiological ranges. Both therapies have been shown to hasten recovery.
Any more than 500IU of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) per day causes too much aromatase activity. Some feel aromatase is actually toxic to the Leydig cells of the testes. You are then inducing primary hypogonadism (which is permanent) while treating steroid-induced secondary (hypogonadotrophic) hypogonadism (which is temporary--hopefully).
If 250IU or 500IU on two days each week isn’t enough to stave off testicular atrophy, then I recommend using it more days each week (as opposed to taking larger doses). In fact, I wouldn’t mind having a guy use 250IU per day ALL THROUGH the cycle. Those that have tell me they thus avoid that edgy, burned-out feeling they usually get. They also say they simply feel better each day. Subjective reports, to be sure, but they are hard not to appreciate. Especially when Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is so inexpensive."

Lucky13 said:Thought I would just do a quick update on side effects at around 9weeks in.
errr none so that was quick
Infact I know this is going to be ironic but if anything I have less side effects being on then being off.
Heart palitations have nearly stopped
Much better moods and more controlled temper
Hair actually seems thicker ( maybe because of my over the top hair regime)
No spots
Better smoother skin
lower BP
about the only problem I seem to encounter is estrogen bloat but since starting AIFM that has been a thing of the past for nearly a month...
So err that's it....Test really is the Best
Aczech said:Guess we've all got different goals
outlawtas2 said:Exactly. If strength is your goal, then those are the numbers you need to pay attention to. But if it's size you want, then what does the weight your push or even the weight on the scale matter? Then again, who am I to talk, I always try to hit PR's to stroke my ego lol.
Xtreme57 said:Lucky,
In regards to your anti-hair loss protocol:
"Anti Hairloss Suppliments:
- Spironolactone @ 1200mg mixed into Nizoral Shampoo 2xED
- Topical Scalp Cream 5% Spironolactone + 1% finasteride 2xED"
1 - How did you mix the Spironolactone with the nizoral
2 - How did you mix the finasteride with the topical cream (I saw how you made the cream itself w/crushed pills ... but don't get the fin? I assume you used the liquid version? But how much did you add?
Thanks man,
Hair loss has been one of ... if not THE main reason I've avoided a cycle, but this looks like the best plan I've seen to prevent it.
Xtreme57 said:Ahh good call. One more thing ... why 1.25mg of fin as opposed to the standard 1mg/day? And how did you manage to take in that extra 1/4? I've only seen 1mg pills.
