this will be the 3rd week of my 8 week test prop 400mg cycle with 70mg anavar 6 weeks. i'll be doing 500iu HCG pregnyl from weeks 3-8. now since it's gonna raise my test even more do i increase my dose of GP arimidex? right now im on .25mg a-dex ed and so far not a single sign of gyno or sensitive nipples. i have aromasin, letro, and nolva on hand if needed.

do i increase my a-dex to .5mg ed just to be safe or keep it the same until i notice sensitivity in the nipples at all? thanks.

I wouldn't worry about it, you should be fine. You might consider raising the HCG dosage to 500X2, it works much better for me than only 500 per week.

well i only have one 5000iu amp of HCG pregnyl so i'd have to run it from weeks 4-8 at 1000iu a week instead on starting at week 3 and doing 500iu a week to the end.

you think i should wait until week 4 and just do 1000iu a week?

nearly everyone says to do 500iu a week.

and does it help you recover faster after the cycle like everyone says it does?

500 has been in vogue for a very long time. Many people have switched to using 1000 as of late because of new info in support of the idea that you need 1000 per week minimum. You can do as you like, but the best thing to do is to run 1000 throughout your cycle. I've done both and I can only tell you that 1000 works better for me. Take a look at Heavyirons recommendations in my signature about first cycles. He is an exceptional source of information.

yea i've read all the stickies but i'll go over that one again and eventually formulate my own answer as to what im gonna do. if there's really no risk of desensitization or any other bad side effects of running 1000iu then i dont see why not. if i stick with 500iu for weeks 3-8 then that'll be 3000iu and i'll have 2000iu to go to waste at the end of my cycle. i'd like to get my money's worth on it

I just looked at the study, and it refers to your question directly. Essentially, it stated that no problems occur up to 5000 per week. Also, you can take it for the two weeks while you wait for the ester to clear before you run your PCT, assuming you are taking a long acting ester (Test C or E).
