[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 172563, member: 38109"] Doses for hCG as an adjunct to TRT generally run from 500 IU to 1,500 IU per week in divided doses. Typical would be 250-300 IU every other day, which has support in the scientific literature for creating normal levels of intratesticular testosterone. The tradeoff is that these higher levels can stimulate disproportionately higher estradiol production, which causes problems in some cases. This can lead guys to find the lowest dose that prevents testicular atrophy, perhaps about 250 IU twice a week, though there are a couple reports of guys using only 200-250 IU once a week. "IU" stands for International Unit, which is supposed to be a standard measure of biological activity for the given substance. The conversion of weight to IU is determined by the manufacturer. The concentration of hCG, IU per milliliter, is dependent on the amount of diluent (fluid) added to the dry hCG powder. It is common to use one milliliter of fluid with 1,000 IU of hCG. But if you're mixing your own then any concentration is possible. It's just that the conversion from desired IU to volume is a little more effort. For example, I mixed 3 mL of bacteriostatic water with my last vial of 6,000 IU hCG. This means every 0.1 mL has 200 IU of hCG, not the more standard 100 IU. [/QUOTE]
