Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG for short) is a hormone that is present both in men and women but is also popular by the nickname “pregnancy hormone”. That’s because these hormone levels greatly spike after a woman gets pregnant and the levels continue to grow until about month 3 or 4. Then levels of HCG start to decrease until the woman gives birth. After conceiving, the levels of HCG spike and that’s what allows a woman to get a positive result on a pregnancy test. That test is searching for the levels specifically of this hormone. If they are high – the test is positive.
HCG, generally, is a hormone that has various roles in male and female sexual development. That’s why it’s helpful in treating fertility issues in both genders.
In women, HCG is affecting ovulation, hence fertility.
In men, HCG is affecting testosterone production, hence fertility.
When you administer HCG, it works like Luteinizing Hormone (LH) by mimicking its effects. That’s a very important hormone for men because LH is a hormone that stimulates Leydig cells (testicles) into producing more testosterone.
It makes a man’s body produce more testosterone naturally. Or at least, partially naturally.
Why is this important when you use testosterone (and other anabolic steroids)?
Well, those men who use anabolic steroids such as testosterone (like undergoing Hormone Replacement Therapy – HRT) with Testosterone (Testosterone Replacement Therapy – TRT) their testicles may stop producing testosterone naturally. That’s because their bodies receive signals that there’s “enough” testosterone (since they use exogenous testosterone) so there’s a need to produce more.
As a result, the testicles may reduce in size because they simply “do not function” anymore. This may result in lower fertility because of decreasing sperm count. When you introduce HCG, however, this would “remind” the testicles (gonadal glands) that they need to work and keep on producing testosterone. It may increase sperm count and testosterone levels.
Why You Can’t Use HCG instead of Testosterone during a Cycle?
Considering that HCG is so helpful at increasing testosterone levels and won’t cause fertility and testicle shrinkage issues – why can’t we just use HCG instead of testosterone for Hormonal Replacement Therapy or for bodybuilding purposes?
Because Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, like anything else in this world, comes with its own set of side effects. One of the main reasons why you can’t use HCG instead of Testosterone during the cycle is because according to studies, HCG stops the body from producing LH naturally. It desensitizes your pituitary gland.
This is also the main reason why I wouldn’t really recommend HCG during the PCT plan. Post Cycle Therapy is there to help you fully recover and stay fully naturally. Using HCG during PCT would help increase testosterone, but would still hurt your HPTA (hypothalamus pituitary testes axis).
But except for that, HCG comes with other side effects too. You need huge doses of HCG to increase levels of Testosterone to the level that actual testosterone does for bodybuilding purposes. Using such high doses would surely come with side effects.
So, you use HCG to prevent and deal with side effects caused by testosterone and other steroids. But you can’t use it for the actual cycle. It won’t boost testosterone to required levels, still has negative effects on HPTA, and comes with its negative side effects.
HCG Diet
Some people use this compound in combination with a very low calorie diet in an attempt to lose weight. The diet is extremely restrictive at only 500 calories per day. Obviously, inevitably, weight loss occurs, but that’s because of very low caloric intake.
HCG’s role here is to cause body fat and not to allow the muscle to be burned for fuel.
I wouldn’t recommend HCG for such purposes for a multitude of reasons.
First off, the HCG diet is not healthy. Eating only 500 calories per day is likely to cause a lot of different issues due to heavily undereating. It can cause an overall electrolyte imbalance including numerous other issues. Moreover, HCG, as said, comes with side effects. You would decrease natural LH levels and risk estrogen related issues.
How to Use HCG?
So, you got the HCG powder and you reconstituted it. You also have a plan on when exactly to use it (throughout the cycle, during PCT, the bridge between cycle and PCT, or maybe during all this time) – it’s up to you, your needs, goals, and response to hCG). But you are not sure how to do it and what dosage to use.
So, this solution is injected subcutaneously (SubQ). That’s why you would need an insulin needle (usually). You should inject it into fat, usually, into stomach fat.
You need to use HCG 1-3 times a week. Usually, the frequency of administration depends on the severity of the issue. If you only want to prevent testicular shrinkage then 1-2 times a week is enough. If you want to deal with the already occurring issues then you may want to increase it to 2-3 times a week.
The exact same thing applies to the dosage. Usually, the dosage is ranging from 250 IU up to 1,000 IU per injection. This means the total weekly dosage ranges between 250 IU and 3,000 IU per week. But rarely when someone goes over 2,000 IU per week. In fact, most commonly, dosages are within the 1,000 IU/week range.
Most people use it during the last 2-4 weeks of the cycle. Starting with 2x 500 IU per week for the first 2 weeks and then increasing to 3x 500 IU per week for the last 2 weeks.
Usually, only people noticing testicular shrinkage use HCG. But not everyone notices it. Usually, it only occurs when there are higher doses of steroids, lots of steroids stacked together, and/or long cycle lengths involved. Unless you’re naturally prone to experience testicle shrinkage.
