HCG dosage advice

[Mike9876]

When I first started TRT 4 months ago I was doing 100mg Cypionate pw Inject Mon and Fri and also 250iu HCG injecting at the same time. I was having issues with how I was feeling so about 4 weeks in, on the advice from some on here, I cut out the HCG. I have noticed my balls are much smaller and softer now so I would like to try HCG again. Any advice on dosage and injection frequency would be appreciated. My current protocol is. 85mg Cypionate pw injecting EOD.

That is a pretty large dose of T.

As for HCG, it seems like you can experiment with what works best for you.

I have tried every 3.5 days at 300-500iu per injection. I have tried 300 M-W-F.
And briefly did 150iu every day.

Never felt any real difference with any of it. So I am now not taking it and waiting to see how I respond. So far, no change in my nuts. If anything they seem larger and fuller. But it has only been a few weeks. So time will tell.

So I guess my point is there is lots of room to play when it comes to HCG.

I am sure others will jump in and give their advice.

Thanks for that. I might just start with 250iu twice a week.

And just to clarify, I'm taking 85mg in total per week, not 85mg each injection.

I inject 500iu of HCG twice a week. The injection amount of HCG on this forum is all over the place. From 100iu twice a week to 500iu EOD, you just need to learn what works best for you.

One other question. I have seen some say that it is best to do HCG on a diffferent day to ones test injection. Is this true or is it generally ok to do them at the same time. For convenience sake, I would prefer to do them at the same time. Also, can I use the same needle for both injections if doing them at the same time?

HCG used to be used on "off" days is a very old way of doing things where if a guy had a once per week injection, he'd use HCG on the two days prior to the next injection to try and bridge over to that following injection. But we've moved well past that, thats like a 5-10 year old way of doing things.

I would say there's nothing wrong with injecting HCG and testosterone on the same day. It makes your protocol much simpler and easy to follow.

The key is to find a routine you can and will stick with. For me that includes combining T and HCG in the same injection. Theories are great but sometimes practicality wins out.

My philosophy on hcg is to inject the smallest dose that keeps my balls full and happy. So I do 250iu twice weekly.

Cheers guys. And I can use the same needle to do both injections?

 

[lowe2sucks]

try lowest dosage to avoid side effects

yes, same small 29g 1/2", and many guys combine it in one shot, too

Since I inject daily, on days I inject HCG I should start combining both my T and HCG again.

Ive been trying this one shot method a few times now.

I'm one of the guys that don't like hcg either. Truth be told, it makes me feel kinda *** in a way.

Not to go into to much details but, currently i'm trying a very low dose of 400iu per week and it increases my well being so far but doesn't really seem to give me that hyped up effect.

Perhaps you could try a lower dose of hcg(125 iu twice a week?) this time and evaluate how it works for you.

No harm in trying the lowest dose possible, you can always increase it further or stop alltogether again.
