How to I mix this HCG ?

I have atached pics of my HCG ampules. they came in pairs and it seems like one is the powder and the other is the oil or solvent. could someone ID these pics and point me to a document/post or give me some instructions on what to do. I will need to use this stuff every week on my next cycle.

thanks

I think those are pregnyl 5000IU amps, right? If so, you probably want to get some additional BW and then use 5mLs to reconstitute, so you'll have a 1000IU/mL solution, and then each 500IU dose will be 0.5mL.
To actually reconstitute, just inject the water along the side of the vial (not directly onto the "powder"). Gently swirl to reconstitute. Since it's an amp and not a vial, you may want to preload insulin syringes with 500IU doses and then freeze or refridgerate them.

With a longer cycle I would suggest low dose 2x weekly. Hgc will hold in bac water in a fridge for 60 days so you could stretch a 5000iu over and 8 week period at 312.5iu per .5ml injection. I would reconstitute in powder vial and then transfer it in a sterilized 10ml and add enough bw to put the total at 8ml...nice and easy. You could obviously adjust the dosing as needed and then reconstitute your next batch accordingly.

Followup Question on HCG

yes 5000s...
I have a feeling ill have a PhD in Chem before this is all over..whew :(

So - I guess I should order some BW, Sterile vials and 28g needles. Should the vilas be presealed or open rubber stopeer type ?

Is there a specific kit I could get from P*Z that is optimal for this job ?

You could actually just get some BW and forget the vial. Just reconstitute the 5000IU in 2.5mL, which should fit in the amp, if I remember right. Then each 500IU dose would be 0.25mL. I'd just preload insulin pins with 0.25mL and refridgerate them.

Sorry, that was for the thread starter. It's no problem to just use the 1mL either, it's just a small volume per injection, so accuracy is an issue, but it's not a huge concern with HCG.
