Any input would be greatly appreciated...

I'm running the following cycle:

500mg of Testosterone Cypionate - 14 weeks

500mg Boldenolone Undecylenate 13 weeks

250iu HCG twice a week for weeks 5 to 15.

PCT (novla)

Goals: increase LBM and cut up (more focus on cutting

Here's my question: I've never run HCG before. From what I have read it is a good (and cheap) dietary supplement (as well as keeping the 'boys' normal). I'm not sure how to take it, when to take it, or where to inject. Can I do IM like the others? And jsut as importantly, does it work?!

Thank you in advance for the imput

If you do a search of the term "HCG" on this board's search function you'll be able to answer all of your questions except the one in regard method of administration... HCG is effective both via intramuscular and subcutaneous administration....

However keep in mind this study:

Subcutaneous versus intramuscular administration of human chorionic gonadotropin during an in vitro fertilization cycle Presented at the 55th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, Toronto, Ontario, September 28, 1999.
Received 17 April 2002; revised 31 July 2002; accepted 31 July 2002. ; Available online 20 May 2003.

Objective
To confirm that hCG levels in follicular fluid and serum would be comparable between IM and SC administration of purified hCG.

Design
In a prospective study, serum and follicular fluid levels of hCG after an IM or SC injection of 10,000 IU of hCG were evaluated 36 hours after injection, that is, at the time of oocyte retrieval.

Setting
This study was carried out in a university-affiliated IVF program.

Patient(s)
Forty women undergoing oocyte retrieval were entered into the study at the time of egg retrieval, that is, 36 hours after hCG administration.

Intervention(s)
SC or IM injection of hCG.

Main outcome measure(s)
Serum and follicular fluid concentrations of hCG were evaluated 36 hours after injection at the time of oocyte retrieval.

Result(s)
There was a significantly higher serum hCG level in the SC group (348.6 ± 98 IU/L) vs. the IM group (259.0 ± 115 IU/L) and a significantly higher follicular fluid hCG level in the SC vs. the IM group (233.5 ± 85 vs. 143.4 ± 134 IU/L).

Conclusion(s)
After purified hCG administration via the SC route, both serum and follicular fluid levels are greater compared with the IM route.

So SC administration seems to be approximately 15-20% more effective than IM... At high doses at least...

Thank you Piotr... What is more effective for losing BF- Clen or HCG?

[Darkhrse99]

I believe clen is along with T-3.

I'm dieting for show in 8 weeks and I use test,tren, clen and t-3. If I could have gotten winny, I'd use that too. I'm on hrt, so hcg is always used.
