    Reconstitute it and draw it up in to pinz.

    Keep the unused portion in the fridge and it will keep for a couple of weeks.

    HCG does not go "bad" it merely loses it's effectiveness.

    My doc sez it's good for 60 days max. After that, it loses its potency.
    Of course, it's a water based product, so even though it's stored in the fridge (I keep mine in a baggy), there might be a chance of bacteria after a while. I take mine (prescription, of course) 1000 units/day over 10 days, so there's no leftover.

    Insulin needles work, that's what my doc gives me. I think they're 29 gage, 1/4" long.

    Subcutaneous, mon ami. My doc sez pop the pin into some fat on the belly and slowly inject. My insulin pins are about 1/4" long and I go most of the way in, have had no problem. Just make sure the skin is nice and clean before injecting. Wipe the skin with an alcohol-soaked cotton ball (I dob a bit of alcohol on top of the vial too). Supposedly 70% (or more) ethyl alcohol or 99% isopropyl is best for sanitizing. Rubbing alcohol is usually only 70% isopropyl, though. Everclear (95% ethyl) from your local package store would be most effective.
