Title: recovery and acne with H.C.G. use.
Post by: littlechris on April 25, 2009, 09:57:31 PM: hey guys.

how many here have experienced increased acne with H.C.G.? i find that about 2days after i take my H.C.G. that i get breakouts. I also find that i recover a LOT quicker when i take my H.C.G. as prescribed. I was out of H.C.G. the last 2 weeks and my recovery was just crap!! Now that i am back on, i am "regenerating" a lot better and can train as scheduled, and dont have to take days off to rest. My doc told me that my test levels actually are higher while on H.C.G. in addition to my normal test therapy, since my natural production of test goes up as well. Anyone experience the same effects with H.C.G.? thanks in advance

Any change in hormones can, really. It's not like endocrinology is a walk in the park.

If you're on TRT and your treatment is successful, I would focus on minimizing the acne and being happy with the results.

Agreed. Your estrogen levels will be higher when taking HCG during cycle. I had to increase my AI a bit to compensate. I think that will solve your problem.
