What Does Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) do for you?
- Thread starter TRTony
- Start date
U only need 500 ius a week of the hcg. Is not gonna bloat u any more than u already may be from the cyp. It def helps keep your nuts normal and helps keep your natural test levels up as well. I've always used it during a cycle or testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), a few times I've tried without it I felt worse, but it helps significantly when coming off cycle, u don't have any crash and it helps to keep more of the gains.

It is basically up to you man. Its not really going to harm you, or help you much. 200mg a week isn't going to shut down your hpta that hard. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is recommended when doing a heavy test cycle, or a cycle with multiple compounds to prevent ur HPTA from.shutting down completely and thus making it easier to rebound when coming off.
If it was me I'd just go ahead and use it just for the hell of it!

TRTony/SamSong,
I'm no expert but I've been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for 10 months. My protocol has always included Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) at 600iu 2x/wk. Once I got my E2 in range via Anastrazole at .25mg 3x/wk, this has been a pretty solid protocol. I've gone 6 weeks or so whithout it before and noticed a slight difference in mood/libido, etc. The biggest difference when off it is my testicles shrink to about half their normal size. Not the end of the world but I prefer to keep them looking normal and functioning.
Another benefit I've noticed when on Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is that I can usually lower my Test Cyp dosage and stay in the mid/high Total T range (700 - 1000) as the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) stimulates my natural T production.
Hope the above helps.
Good luck.
I use it up to 10 weeks, has always been fine

Lol hey bud I'm an.expert on androgens. That is what u are taking, no?
Just cuz I.don't have natrually low T makes me not qualified to answer the question about HCG. Lol stop talking out of ur ass and take the advice bro. I have way MORE experience using Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) than most people on this thread because I compete at the national level, we use lots of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) believe me lol. Just take the advice man...HCG is optional and not required for somebody pinning minuscule ammpunts of hormones.

600iu 2x a week seems high. Do not forget you can desensitize your testes. If you use two much Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) over a prolonged period of time u could possible shut down the LH response, and the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) would have no effect. But if its working for u brother than stick with it. Just my two cents.

What and the hell are you talking about bro. You say your qualified to answer his question but your still answering like he is going to try and recover one day? No one cares about you being a national competitor, I have worked with many and honestly most of them don't know there ass from a hole in the ground.

Oh really you can desensitize them? Says who? Show me 1 single shred of evidence that supports leydig cell desensitization due to Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG)? I will wait.

It has been shown in a few studies that it takes 700IU a week to override androgen suppression. Some guys like 250IU 2x times a week, I personally think anything less than 500IU in a single dose is a waste of time and money, especially since your trying to fight the desensitization brought on by the androgens, if you were not on androgens smaller dose may give you a rise in TT.

Lol bro u don't even know who your talking to right now. I'm just as qualified as u to be answering questions on this board. Just cuz u have all those post doesn't mean anything.
And your right a lot of competitors don't know dick. They have trainings ect. I do all my prep, diet, training, gear. I don't need help with something I've studies for years. I've learned under people much smarter than u brother. So.u don't need to talk down to me like that like I.have no room.to be answering a simple question. As I said before it is OPTIONAL. Its not going to hurt him if he doesn't take the HCG.
And u sure CAn desensitize ur testes. For proof read the article that was just posted about Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) and proper post cycle therapy (pct) protocol.

I am not reading any dumb ass article you or one of cronies wrote that relies soley on bro science. There is a ton of literature on Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) and most of it was dosed at 5,000IU injections, not 500. Out of all these years of dosing Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) like that there is not one single study that shows permanent desensitization due to HCG.
and please explain this right here, you say stimulate LH response? Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is suppressive to your endogenous testosterone levels bud, you need to sit back and learn a little.

And that's not the only place were u can see that, I was always tought to not use to much Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) because of the desensitization effect. 600iu 2x a week probably not going to do that. But for somebody on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) I.would figure they shouldn't be using that much hcg. 250iu 2x a week would be effective for him.
