Need help using HCG

Can someone please tell me how to use hcg. I'd like to use it while I'm still on my cycle. I have a 10ml vial already mixed and waiting for me in the frig. How much of it should I take and how often? Also, is it injected like the roids, intramuscular or is it injected in a vein? I don't know where or how to inject it.

Inject 1//2 cc sub Q for two consecutive days. Pinch a little fat close to your navel. Insert a slin needle between your pinch. I use a 5/16 pin. You won't even feel it. I do mine on Sat. and Sun. Just don't pinch to hard. You want to put it deep enough so it wont leave a welt. Don't forget to swab the area with alcohol.

radical at 1/2cc how many iu are you shooting.

1/2cc is 500 IU

You are both correct on injection how to and concentration!

I like 10 days 1000 iu ed - subQ at the end of the cycle.
I only think you should use it mid cycle if its a long cycle, and only for a few days in a row.

I though I read somewhere that hcg was only to be shot once every 5 days which is a real problem I'm having because to do it that way I am going to have to shoot 20 ml to get 5000 iu. Even if I cut the solution in half it would still be 10 ml.

bro I would post that particular brand and see if anyone had diluted it further. I don't see why it couldn't.

Gonakor HCG 250iu with 10ml solution to = 2500iu. Anyone know how to make this as concentrate as possible so I don't have to shoot 10 ml.

Good idea scorp you da man I still have a couple of weeks to get this figured out.

I don't know anyone who has used that brand. However I can't see why it couldn't be taken much more concentrated. Perhaps it's used for a different type of therapy? But the product should be the same, just a different saturation solution.

just looks like the powder is half the size of the solution and I'm concerned that it will be like paste or too thick but it is freeze dried so maybe it doesn't take much to dissolve.

Well I'll chime in here...I've been on Deca & Test since May 1st, and will continue through the end of August at least...perhaps another couple months after that even.

I have been using hcg 500IU's 2x weekly since about week 4 when I started getting that "crushed balls" feeling. This is about week 11 and I have ZERO testicular atrophy. I feel that overcoming testicular atrophy post-cycle is much more difficult than bringing the pituitary back on-line, so using hcg this way makes the most sense to me.

I agree 100%

Unfortanitly since it's been 22 weeks it's a little late now for that. Origionally I was going to run it at 2500iu every 4 weeks but it didn't work out.

there are a couple of things I'm confused about so far.
1. radical_p and goldenear why only 500iu 2x per week?
2. goldenear why every week for so many weeks?

I'm not saying this is wrong just trying to learn. Here's a copy and paste that I've been going by to try and figure out how I'm gonna run mine soon.

The athlete should inject one HCG ampule every 5 days. Since the testosterone level remains considerably elevated for several days, it is unnecessary to inject HCG more than once every 5 days. The effective dosage for ath-letes is usually 2000-5000 I.U. per injection and should-as al-ready mentioned-be injected every 5 days. HCG should only be taken for a few weeks. If HCG is taken by male athletes over many weeks and in high dosages, it is possible that the testes will respond poorly to a later HCG intake and a release of the body's own LH. This could result in a permanent inadequate gonadal function.

That is what my HRT doc prescribed for me to do. Besides if you can keep your nads at normal size, your own test production will be easier to kick back in.

This is a post from Swale at CEM and I hope it helps.

I currently have all my guys using HCG on two consecutive days EACH week--both my AAS and my HRT patients. The HRT guys use it at 250iu per day, and AAS at 500iu. However, both will increase that until they achieve the desired effect. I NEVER prescribe more than 1000iu per day, and I think anyone who does has failed to recognize how really powerful this hormone is. However, although it is the treatment of choice for secondary (hypogonadotrophic) hypogonadism, I no longer use it for same. Why? Because I have yet to find a single patient who was really happy while on it as sole HRT therapy. Strangely, when I have measured serum T levels, a level while on HCG did not satisfy them, wheras THE SAME level might if it comes from the Upjohn test cyp I provide. I haven't figured out why yet, but it sure does seem to be the case. Alternatively, a guy may need 1000iu each day to be happy, and I just don't like anyone doing that much, because it would be every single day. Also, that would require two subQ injections (as 1/2 cc at a single injection is about it for comfort), and complience becomes an issue (HRT patients are not as, shall we say, motivated, as are AAS athletes).

I feel that keeping the testicles up to snuff makes recovery go that much faster at the end. Because HCG will add inhibition (for the same reason as the now-infamous Cy Wilson debate) I don't like to see guys use it much later than a few days after their last shot.

thanks radical very good read there.

i always wondered about hcg too. I never knew to use it. I've always heard different things but this thread helps for sure.
