HCG on cycle question

ad

So what is the general consensus as to what week to start HCG on cycle? I have heard some say week 1 500iu/week. And some say not to start that until week 4. I found a really good article online on my iphone yesterday about why hcg should be started week 1, and wanted to find the site again and post the link (not sure if posting the link would be allowed).
Anyway, I just wanted to hear a few thoughts from more experienced users.

Is the reasoning for not starting till week 3 or 4 because using it before then is useless or is does it actually have a negative impact on the body? If it doesnt have a negative impact, I dont mind using it at 500 a week starting week 1 just to be safe

the reason is people say to wait until week 3 or 4 is because that when the long esters usually kick in and testicular atrophy sets in.

500 a week always worked for me. Starting the 3rd week. Right up till a week before pct.

I'm running test deca and eq and I started hcg on day one, just to be safe. If you're running test only I wouldn't think its necessary to run from day one, maybe like the last 4 weeks of your cycle and stopping when pct starts, just to bring your boys back.

Did you start with 250iu twice a week, or did you do smaller doses the first few weeks?

250iu twice a week is relatively low dose and is what I dose, and it's effective. Some guys do 500iu twice a week and others blast 2-5,000iu's a day.
