The exact dosage of HCG for each individual is different, and most effective protocol itself can be different, for some people more frequent like 100 IU daily works better, for some less frequent but bit higher doses work better. Most common is 250- 300 IU 3X a week is what suits most of people, and for a reason- as most effective dose of HCG is somewhere in between 250- 300 IU, adn there are some research that show that 500 IU is not really more effective than 250 IU, and from anecdotal experience higher doses of HCG can raise progesterone too much and it can lead to depletion of pregnenolone. So personally I think any dose over 500 IU is not really needed IMO, if testicles dont work it will take them time to start working. If your friend is in middle of cycle than he should go with usual 250-300 IU, if he is at end he can run HCG solo for a while and then go for extended PCT.
I personally dont like idea of using HCG in PCT or combining HCG and clomid as pituary will not be working as long as HCG is in system, so basically on HCG you're still shut.
