The way I prefer is starting after the cycle is over. The 10-14 days before Nolva or Clomid starts I'll inject HCG every day for those 10-14 days. Usually 1,000iu each day and there's been times where I used 2,000iu the first 2-3 days and then finished with 1,000iu.This seemed to always work pretty well for me.
