HCG conversion ?

**lollipops** · 10-28-2005, 02:08 PM

I have been doing my research on converting IU's.

I got this from: http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/index.html

How can I convert from international units (IU) to milligrams or micrograms?
Generally speaking, you can't. IU's measure the potency of a drug, not its mass or weight

I did see on the board that a post read 0.25ml=500ius, is this accurate?

I want to run hcg starting next week. I would like to run about 500ius per week on cycle, then for PCT I want to up it to 5000ius and 50mg of clomid for three weeks. Also, I think 40000 ius should be sufficient for this.

How do I convert IUs to mgs?

you should not run hcg and clomid together...run the hcg up to a few days prior to starting clomid PCT

Ok, I forgot about the hcg and clomid together. How do I make the conversion though. Can I use a insuling pin to inject it sub q?

Examples:

10,000IU HCG powder + 10ml Bacteriostatic water = 1,000IU/ml
10,000IU HCG powder + 5ml Bacteriostatic water = 2,000IU/ml

The concentration depends on how you mix it.

Yes you can I use a insulin pin to inject it sub-q
