HELP with HCG injection

ad

Homies
I am one week into my cycle. This is the first time I'll be using HCG. I learned about it during my last cycle and would like to utilize it properly. The research I've done shows options. Option 1 was Subcutaneous( above the belly button ) or in your delt. It talks about intramuscular being okay but possibly more painful PIP??

Question 1. If choosing Subcutaneous, what is the proper needle size, and do you like this method??

Question 2. Is IM injection just as effective? Do you recommend this method?

Your advice and input are greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance to any homie who shares their experience.

  1. Insulin needles 31g to 29g is fine, 0.5cc syringe size is enough.
  2. No need to do IM, any safe subQ spots will work.

Other input: 500iU per week is enough to keep testes online, split into two 250iU doses is best. Reconstitute the 5000iU bottle into 2mL bacstat water (0.1cc gives 250iU) and store at 4 degrees (refrigerator) will last the full 10 weeks without degradation. This protocol has kept my balls good each cycle thus far without issue. Note that HCG causes an acute spike in Aromatase production which will impact your estrogen levels so you might have to adjust AI dosage to compensate. I find that it's best to do the HCG shot the day before your test injection so that your T levels at the lowest point of the week when aromatase comes online, therefore causing less of an estrogen spike (in theory). Hope that helps!

No worries man, definitely avoid the freezer with peptides though you don't want to freeze-thaw them after reconstitution

Exactly...extreme cold and heat is the enemy when in comes to HCG.

Subcutaneous( above the belly button ) Yes good choice.

I’m sorry bro. 5000 iu split 2x a week. I’m doing 100 different things at once and rushed to answer this. I was on TRT for over a year so I’m trying to restart my natural test levels giving it a boost before I pct. I’ll be doing HCG for about 3 weeks then pct for another 5/6 weeks. I’m going to be off cycle for quite a while but will run GH 6 months on and off.

So far, I feel IM works more effectively but of course this is subjective.

Administration:

1) using HCG during the cycle → 250iu every 4-5 days

2) using HCG in Post Cycle Therapy:

1,500-4,000 IU every 3-4 days for 2-3 weeks, then start SERM therapy.

500-1,000 IU daily for 10 days, then start SERM therapy.

3) for ovarian stimulation (fertility aid) HCG is administered at a precise point during the menstrual cycle at a dose of 5,000-10,000 IU.

Example 5000iu-You mix it with 3 ml of solvent
bac with water, which you can also order later
you absorb it in 0.3 ml portions, there will be 10 pieces
500 units of Hcg that you put in your freezer
and you give it to yourself every week. You take it out, it melts in 2 minutes and you give it in. I distribute it that way
to make it 300 units and give it every 5 days
it's fine for me, but you count and dose as you like
you just want to.
I barely had it in a fairly short time without Hcg
my sperm and my balls just hurt dully
I say when I started my first treatment,
so I would never do it again without him. By the way
but it gives a very good libido and it goes easily

Step by step and do not need to use high dose steroids first time.You have enough time to growing year to year.

Reality is you can do either buddy, both work.

5/16” 31 ga is plenty. Belly to the side of belly button wherever you can get a pinch of fat. Super easy.
