I've always used simple clomid/nolva for pct but now i have hcg and nolva. I've never used hcg and need some help here. I have a large vial of sterile water along with a tiny vial of hcg that has a white tablet on the bottom. What now?
I don't know where to start. It is one of the most debated subjects. The key with HCG is
less is more. It is strong stuff so don't listen to most of the stuff written about it online. I have seen people rec 10,000IU injections! Chances are you will have a 5000IU vial of HCG.
But please let us know what exactly it is.
First of all if you want to use it for PCT then you must ensure 3 weeks of anti-e usage after the HCG. There are 1001 ways to do it. But the best would be to take a fairly large injection of approx 1,000IU every 4 days at the end of your cycle. Do this 1 week before you start your PCT so HCG usage goes about 1 week into your PCT. So that will be 3 or 4 injections of approx 1000IU and will last 12-16 days. Then make sure you have 3 weeks of Clomid and Nolva afterwards. So that makes a 4 week pct which I think is ideal. Don't go above 20mg of nolva in your pct. I think 4 weeks should be a standard but shorter PCT's are good in shorter cycles (but I know you are doing a longer cycle).
The best approach with HCG is to use it when it is needed imo. So if your 6 weeks into a cycle and they are tiny do a few small injections (400-1000IU) every 4/5 days. You would only need about 3 injections and this should be effective. I always have it on hand but will only use it when it is needed.
Other great method is to take a tiny dose (400-500IU) every 4-7 days during a cycle. Scientifically it is most effective every 4 days (I would do 400IU in that case). But for me I would keep it nice and simple and just do it once per week on a certain day and do 500IU. For this method you have to get 1500IU amps as it should go bad if you have say 5000IU as that is 10 weeks worth of injections. By using 1500IU amps it is nice and fresh so most effective.
Other way to use HCG is every 4 weeks or so you do a few injs in a longer cycle just to help matters. If you do this time it so your last set is around your PCT time.
I know you asked about HCG usage in PCT but I just thought I should explain the best methods so you know for future use.
Many think it is good for PCT and many think it is bad. On here you will get most saying do it during your cycle and don't do it during your PCT. The subject has come up many times. If you do a HCG search I am sure many things will pop up.
Just be careful with it cos it is strong stuff. I should add it is great and can aid recovery hugely and also makes other compounds more effective. But just remember less is more when it comes to HCG. Ignore most of the things you read about it saying 4000IU every 4 days during your PCT. If you do that you will simply crash hard. So if you wanna use it for you upcoming PCT regime I would follow my first step and just make sure you follow it with a few weeks of clomid/nolva usage. It works out great cos I do think 4 week PCT are better than 3 (especially if you have been on cycle 12 weeks +)
Hope it helps
