Question on HCG: Dr's Advice

canada

New Member
At my last follow up, my doctor told me I should start to take periodic breaks from HCG. He said I should think about taking 1 week off HCG a month. Can anyone chime in here? Any truth or justification to this?

I take 150 test cyp/week and 1000iu of HCG/week. All my BW is in range and I feel good. No concerns. Should I take his advice?

Any thoughts on cycling off HCG 1 week a month?
 
Total bullshit!

Does endogenous LH take a week off every month???

NO!!!

The body thrives on regularity.

He doesn't know what he's doing...
