      I remember reading an article not long ago saying that HCG causes an estrogen spike when used. The article reccomended you take some nolva along with your HCG.

      I remember reading it and it all made sence. But I was thinking about it again last night, and forgot WHY the HCG causes an estrogen spike.

      Anyone care to explain it for me again?

      It's mimicking LH, which is causing testosterone increase. Low doses and it's not really a concern, I think you'd run into an aromatization problem when shooting excess amounts

      1000iu ed and never had a problem. i think the amount of estrogen produced by test aromatazation from hcg is not enough to really worry about at moderate doses also its not sustained like a test ester so it disipates quickly. IMO

      I agree to a point.

      The article basically stated that it should be used 1000iu ED for 5 days rather that 5000iu every 5 days. Like you and most people now use it.

      I understand that it will disipate quickly, my concern is that a good estrogen spike would get the "gyno ball rolling" if you will.

      i would just run 10mg of nolva during if you are worried about gyno. i am one of the lucky ones i dont get gyno. at least not with the doses of test i use now which are under 750mg.

      Honestly, I'm not all that worried about it. Just curious as to why it happens. So far I havn't had any gyno problems myself either.

      I probably will run a little nolva in there when I do use the HCG tho. Just for good measure.
