question from a user
I'm currently taking 60mgs test cyp, 500iu HCG and 25mcg anastozole twice a week. I'm new to HCG and strictly taking it for the neurological benefits and worried about down regulation of specific hornones on the dose I'm taking which is the average. I've heard that you should only be taking between 150 and 450ius per week to prevent the down regulation of hormones. Is this accurate?

In general yes, though HCG is relatively safe for long term personal health (though a bit harmful to long term monetary costs depending how you get it).
For very run of the mill maintenance 250-500uis a week is perfectly fine. If fertility is coming up soon and you want to prep a bit or really want cosmetic teste size benefits, 500-1000uis a week is normal as well. You'd really only ever go up to 1500ui a week if you're trying to actively have a child *right now* or within a few months.
If at any point you want to crank fertility back up, you can always greatly raise your dose. HCG is one of those things you can always raise or add in later without issue.
