HCG: OPINIONS NEEDED

[daman1]

Trying to get a feel of everyone's opinions on HCG use before, during, and/or after a cycle. I'm on the fence about using it pre-cycle as the idea came from a friend. Thanks.

I don't see the purpose of before. It's suppressive.

 

[Rider]

Yeah, never heard of anyone using HCG pre-cycle.

The current trend is to use it during the cycle. I'm old school and take 2-3 big shots at the end. I've read both sides and this makes more sense to me.

 

[DaSarge]

During.

When I used to cycle, I used it during the second half and at the end...
I've never heard of using it pre...don't see why you would

There is no point in doing it pre cycle. It would not help in the least. In fact it may actually be detrimental to its use later on.
I blend the old school thought of not using it till the very end and the newer trend of using it all cycle. Normally the last 4 weeks of cycle I will start a light dose a few times per week to start waking the boys up and refilling them out. Then I blast it the weeks before I start my SERMS.
I feel it is a 100% necessity as part of a good effective PCT.
Do you know how to lay out your PCT?

I've only used it the final two weeks but was more interested in learning the benefits and actual particulars of usage throughout the whole cycle. Thank you for all of your responses.

This is my blended protocol:
Last 4 weeks of cycle = 500iu 2x weekly
(this causes my testes to get more full then they were but far from normal, the theory being even if they are working at 30% its a better starting point then 0, The reason I only do it the last 4 weeks is in my experience if I do it all cycle or just a few weeks my testes seem to be at the same fullness and effectiveness)
During the 1-3 weeks between my last shot and my first week of SERMs I will bump my dosage to 1000iu 2x weekly
(this gives me that final push into normalcy, i would say after at least a week or 2 of this my testes are 70% full and functioning much better, i rarely have PCT libido issues doing this protocol FYI I never use cialis or viagra on cycle or PCT)

Hope this is the info you were looking for feel free to ask for more details if you need.

You don't use throughout the whole cycle though?

I used to. I stopped for a few reasons.
-I saw no added benefit over using it for all 12-18 weeks vs the protocol I outlines
-I no longer needed to worry about my wife wondering why my balls seemed smaller
-I realized that so long as my test to other compound ratio was on point my libido didn't suffer
-I realized so long as tweaked my PCT protocol my libido didn't suffer

In the end the best idea when it comes to PCT protocols and such is do what works for you.

I will say running it when your not on is pointless with only exception being if you are actively trying to have kids.

I always used a standard "on cycle protocol" during my cruise but like gunslinger said, I find it more effective to "blast" at the end of my "on" cycles lately. Don't see any point in pre-cycle use though. What's the reasoning behind that?
