HCG help.

[Half_Natty]

Just finished a 12 week cycle of Sus and NPP, last pin was on Monday.
Just finished my 3rd week of HCG at 1000iu a week.
Never got any ball shrinkage or if i did extremely little, but since starting the HCG i've noticed some shrinkage? Is this normal? I thought the HCG was supposed to help kick start my test production back to normal?
A little worried about this as i cant find any info on this happening?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Keep running it but at 1000 IU's every second day for 2 weeks.

Did u run the hcg wile on cycle ? And no shrinkage should happen wile on hcg but it does take time plus 19's will take a toll on the old nuts !

 

[Stackinplates]

From what im reading u started the hcg towards the end of cycle and not the whole thing ?

I use HCG 2 weeks before cycle end and 2 weeks after.

I started the HCG when I came off the NPP at week 10, Carried on with the Sus and HCG for two weeks and then dropped the sus at week 12 and have just come into the 2nd week of HCG on its own. dose was 1000iu's over 3 pins in the week.
So another 3 weeks in total left on the HCG and then introduce the clomid for 4 weeks.
I'll Up the dosage and see how I go on.
I kind of figured I shouldn't be getting any shrinkage while on the HCG so that was the worrying part, I probably lost about 50% of size over about two weeks, didn't realize it was happening until it was my girlfriend who said something when in the throws....

I use HCG 2 weeks before cycle end and 2 weeks after.

Is 5 weeks to much on the HCG do you think or will it not make a difference? I can always drop it to 4 weeks and up the dosage?

I would keep the dose at 4 weeks. That's me though, an extra week won't hurt though

 

[Stackinplates]

Naw 5 weeks is not to long on hcg I have run it for 6 due to a long cycle and it actually worked better for me !

Next time I would run hcg low through the whole cycle
Lots of different ways u can do it but I find it works better

I never used hcg in the past post cycle I used clomid and hcg wile on cycle ...

I would throw a bit of creatine monohydrate in there with your supplements!! Even though I it's not a big difference it helps the muscles stay full wile ur body is recovering

Have u done this type of pct before ?

 

[Stackinplates]

Whoa whoa !! Are u only using hcg for pct?!

 

[Stackinplates]

Check ur inbox bro

 

[Stackinplates]

Oops size on nuts like we were taking bout lol

Idk why I was honking gains for a sec lol

 

[Half_Natty]

Yeah it's my nuts that are shrinking, although I'm not sure which one is worse . I've replied to your inbox as well man

I start hcg 1 week after last inj. My dose is 1500iu every other day for entire time im off. Minimum 8 wks. This holds onto most of my gains. I would'nt recommend taking hcg whilst on test. This will confuse the body. Confusion is not good in this case.

How will taking HCG with Test "confuse" the body?

 

[Stackinplates]

A lot of guys actually think it confuses the body because you have abundance of test therefore your body doesn't think you need to produce it but you're taking hCG mimics LH telling your body to produce it

So intern you're telling the body to do two different things I disagree with this concept because many practices of endocrinologist that of done extensive studies keep people on hCG wall on hormone replacement therapy

I actually prefer it I think it makes the HPTA flow more smooth wile on test

There are many different protocols and practices do use some before one Summber for the other from my experiences hCG wile on cycle is the best

It makes for an easy recovering time when you get off


But then again like stated above some guys prefer just to use hCG PCT

Throughout the years of my cycling my hormone replacement therapy and my studying with hCG I found it it works better for myself while on cycle as I said

And then again here in the states a lot of well renowned endocrinologist prescribe hCG wile on TRT to maintain fertility and prevent testicular atrophy


Does that help?

 

[BigJonn]

For HRT i can understand as they will be on much lower doses of test & the outcome is not to gain or hold onto gains, but as a bodybuilder I agree it may help the cycle but like any drug, the body needs a break, so why take HCG on test when it is far more effective after a cycle to hold onto gains & speed up PCT.

Now if you take HCG during & after a course you wont hold onto as much muscle due to the length of time on HCG and the sudden abscence of test.

I dont worry about the size of my testes if my aim is to promote as much muscle & hold onto it post cycle.

Everyone uses hcg differently hard to figure out which way to try first i guess its whatever works for you

 

[BigJonn]

Trial & error.

 

[Judo Tom]

After npp and sus i think 6 weeks of hcg would be ideal. Its great for pct and imo most people end it too soon especially when you run long esters

We all gain information from our own personal experience plus what we read & watch. Its up to us to make logic of this then try it out for at least 4 months to know for sure. Then the circle continues. Try a different approach and compare. Its all good as long as you apply logic and commit to what you are doing.
