yes, but with hcg 1cc can be any amount of iu's depending on how much water you diluted it with. For example 5000 iu's mixed with 10ml of water = 500iu per cc and if mixed with 5ml of water it will be 1000 iu per cc.

In my HCG kit, I have the powder tab in an ampule and then 1 cc of steralized water in another ampule. Where can I get steralized water to up the 5000 iu kit to 5cc's? Is it just saline??

They use Bacteriostatic water. more than just saline. Click on the word and it will take you to where you can find "research material" to help with your kit.
Make sure you know how many MG your powder is so you can calculate correctly when diluting

I just ordered some Bacteriostatic water from this site ... along with a 20ml sterile vial... That way when I mix my 2 little bottles of HCG ( 5000 iu's each ) into a 20ml bottle... I'll have 20 Shots of 500 iu's ... Just enough for my PCT... :-)
