Got this off another board because i didnt feel like typing a long response. My doc has me on 500 iu hcg 2 x a week on my hrt. so below that i cut n pasted is basically what my dr prescribes.
"HCG does mimic LH but doses over 500iu have a high chance of upping estrogen as well. The idea behind HCG during a cycle is to keep the boys alive. This way when you start PCT that part of the process is not a factor.
So it boils down to what ever you think is best for you, if you don't want to do PCT at all, that's your decision not mine. We all need to research for ourselves come up with what we think is best and go with it. You don't have to follow any suggestion given here or anywhere else for the matter. It's your body and you'll decide what you'll do and what you won't do.
I look at it this way, What is easier to do, maintain a tire with air or fix a flat? I like maintaining the tires with air, if you like fixing flat, it's ok with me cause I'm not fixing it, if you like maintaining the tires with it still ok cause I'm not doing that either, I'm maintaining my own. If you get a flat don't ask me how to fix it either
Every body is different, so we need to find what works for us and go with it. This isn't a dogmatic issue that needs to be debated to see who's right and who's wrong.
If you like going 10 days @ 1000iu or 2500iu e5d then pct go for it. I know what I feel comfortable with and that's what I do.
Now if you were to ask me I'd say go 500iu every 3-4 day through the cycle."
