Thread: HCG DURING A CYCLE

Thats a great read....i actually will do 250iu twice a week when adding it during a cycle...i find that works best for me

What if your on TRT and coming off a cycle would stop hcg even though you drop your test to maintenance level? say 150 ml a week

If you were using it while "on" then yes i would stop it when returning to a TRT dose....your boys should have continued to produce while you were cycling and using it so you shouldn't be looking to kick start anything....when using HCG during a cycle the normal protocol is to take your last dose at the same time as your last shot of test...or if your still taking orals then stop it 10 days or so before your last oral dosage...that allows for an even transition and not a sudden drop in levels...so yeah i would stop using it when returning to your trt dosage you should be fine

So even though my normal trt calls for HCG i should still stop if im using it on the cycle, I really only use it so the boys dont shrink and keep me from shutting down completely.

Think of HCG as the "stimulus" your testes need to start production while you're mid cycle. Once you seize use of it and being your PCT, you will no longer have that stimulus, and that will be left to your Pituitary.

So essentially, once you stop using the HCG, your LH/FSH production will fail while your pituitary tries to reach the stimulus on its own... I use HCG mainly for Hypertrophy prevention, other than that- it is almost a "short fix" while setting yourself up for failure, in my book.

I agree that HCG is definitely a "short fix" and thats why I encourage everyone to wait as long as they can before starting its use.Also,after its use your pct should be well planned out and strong enough to overcome the rebound from the discontinuance of hcg.After hcg,you can go into a worse shutdown than if you've never used it so a strong pct is a must.
