    Mixing HCG

    I have been reading a lot of the post on HCG lately since I am adding it to my TRT.

    I'm a little confused because what I got was 10,000 iu HCG with a vial of 1ml water.
    Mixed together it adds up to a little over 1ml

    If I want to do 250 iu 3x a week that is only; well lets just say VERY little.

    I am only using a insulin syringe that holds 1ml. Still that is 1ml = 10,000iu / 250 = 40.
    Since my syringe has increments of 2 going up to 100 or 1ml I need only to go up the the 2nd small mark before the 10 mark.

    See picture below.

    So each tick on your syring is 200 iu's right? 10000/100 so if you can see it between the first mark and the second....

    Wish they would have sent you more water.

    hey lovbyts, liked your exchange 'em at 35 line! that little vial goes in the trash, get your hands on some Bac water and have one of the guys with more experience walk you through it, remember you also need some sterile mixing bottles, took a while to track those down and were 5$ each! will have to hunt for cheaper. I use my 18 guage pins to mix with, youtube has some good mixing instructions as well. good luck!

    hey keep fighten - are you saying i got no experience bro? lovbyts sounds like he has already mixed, has no more water and needs to know where to pull it back to equal 250iu's. He is very well versed enough to handle the rest I'd imagine.

    No need for sterile mixing vials with this - put the bac water right into the vial the peptide came in.

    Yeah, it's going to be real hard to measure out the dosage each time when only working with 1ml of bac water. To boot, you will see the potency start dropping at 50 days. IMO, at your dosage rate of 250iu x 3/wk, you will be tossing 4,000iu in the trash. That is unless you're OK with using HCG that is rapidly declining with potency.

    In my case, I have a very sensitive left testicle. If I miss a shot due to traveling (or whatever reason), my testicle will start getting very, very sore. I'm on the same protocol as you, 250iu x 3/wk. I date my HCG when reconstituting it, and have documented it many times. Right around the 50 day area (+/- day or two), the testicle slowly starts aching again. I reconstitute a new vial, and like magic it goes away. The clinics will say 60 days for shelf life, but my nut gauge says around 50. Regardless of 50 or 60 days, you might be better off getting 5,000iu bottles next time you get it and save a little $$. And yes, get more water too.

    Not sure how big your HCG vial is but for 10,000 units I would put 4ml of water which would make each ml of the solution contain 2500 units so if you pulled back to the .10 cc/ml mark or 1/10th ml you would be getting 250 units each time, that's a nice small amount to inject yet very easy to measure. Next time go for the 5000 unit size, if you think it's getting weak towards the end just inject a little more, of course most of us don't have a testicle meter like Vetteman...

    i just mixed 10,000 iu hCG vial with 5ml water, its kind of thick compared to my last mix which was 10ml water. i can't imagine how thick your hCG will be with only 1ml!

    JD has it correct.

    Vette - Why not try 250 iu EOD?

    It's my hCG schedule and it works just fine.

    A little more the 3X/wk and may help with the left testicle meter as JD so aptly called it.

    Give it a thought...

    Hmmm...that seems weird bass.

    4 ml is the dose you should have added (I dose 2 ml for 5000 iu vials) and mine is crystal clear and totally water like.

    it was a stupid call on my part, i was trying to make it easy to measure by mixing it thin. regarding the viscosity you can't really tell the difference by looking at it, but when i draw it takes a little longer.

    GD, actually the EOD plan is the protocol I try to follow, but sometimes it doesn't quite work that way due to travel. A lot of my business trips will take me out for 2 or 3 days, which then throws it off. I guess to clarify, I should have stated that it averages 3x week. And yes, by the time I get home from a 3 day'r or longer, the first place I head to is the fridge. Not for food, but for HCG. The nutometer is a unique tool!

    hey Flatscat! your post jumped in there ahead of mine, no offence! and never thought to use the same vial the HCG came in, liked that.

    Vette - I travel a fair amount as well but I take my hCG and Test with me.

    I picked up an insulin travel pack similar to this and it works great:

    If your hotel room doesn't have a fridge just ask the hotel to refreeze the gel pack and keep the hCG vial in a fridge...all hotels do this for guests with drugs that need to be stored cold.

    Vette, I'm really impressed with your nut'ometer! Opens up the HCG dosage thing to experimentation.

    Just curious, have you ever tried injecting with say, 1000 IU or more and see how long the dose works? Just by calculation, should be good for +3 days over a 250 IU dose.

    How about shooting it directly in the nut. Try that

    This is getting as bad as the guy who was talking about pinning in the rectum last night on one of the other forums. I think he ended up DTFR!

    I actually did a doctor supervised HCG blast a few years ago, taking 1,000iu/day for 10 days while off of cyp for a month. I'll start another thread about it if anyone is curious. Lovbyts will have permission to hijack the hell out of it too!

    ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS: Please forward me your HCG if you want to have its potency tested by my nutometer. New vials only that have not been reconstituted.

    Sorry LB for getting off topic and hijacking your thread a bit. I will gladly test your HCG for you at no charge.

    How did I get the feeling that you would have this figured out already? Actually, I have taken 1,000iu vials with me and just reconstituted them at the hotel, which I will do when I'm out for more than a week. I'll look a little closer at the travel case you suggested (Thanks!). I've just always been concerned if it will keep it cool enough, and if all the moving, bumps, turbulence will damage it in anyway.

    I was just thinking the other day if I could get 1,000iu vial for traveling, seems like the best idea. My first protocol they sent me a 11,000iu vial, this time I asked for 2 5,000iu instead.

    Not sure why the concentration of the solution seems to vary so much, some say 1ml per 1000iu, ranging to 1ml per 10,000iu?

    No problem, turn around is fair play and I do my share of getting post OT.

    I was not thinking the 10,000 I ordered would come in Amps Luckily I have sterile vials.

    That happened on my last order of 5,000iu as well. Always good to be prepared!

    My last order was weird too I ordered five 5000 unit vials but the sodium chloride came in amps, that was my first experience with amps, usually it comes in something like a 10ml bottle, I gotta be honest, I didn't have a clue what I was supposed to do with an amp, had to google it.
