Hi everyone,
I’m planning an upcoming cycle of 300mg Testosterone (E/C) per week and I’m considering running HCG (500 IU per week) alongside it from day one. (Max 1 yeahr)
My main goal for using HCG is to prevent testicular atrophy and to keep the Leydig cells active, hopefully making the transition into PCT (Post Cycle Therapy) smoother later on.
I have a few specific questions for those with experience:
• Dosing: Does 500 IU/week (split into 2x 250 IU) sound sufficient for maintaining testicular volume at this Test dosage?
• Estrogen Management: For those who ran HCG intra-cycle, how much did it impact your E2 (Estradiol) levels? Did you find it significantly harder to manage compared to Test-only cycles?
• Overall Value: In your experience, is running it "intra-cycle" worth the extra injections and cost, or do you prefer using it only as a "blast" right before PCT?
I’d appreciate any feedback or personal experiences regarding this protocol.
Thanks in advance!
