HCG Help?????

**V8Assassin** · 08-27-2010, 08:02 AM

My understanding is that HCG , once reconstituted, should be stored in the fridge and will only last around 6 weeks. My clinic sent me a bottle with 11,000ius, even if running 250ius 3 times/week over the six weeks, that's only 4500iu's. What are my storage options or is the rest just going to go bad and not be able to be used on a later cycle.

I do not think it will last for 6 weeks after reconstitution.. My understanding is that you should reconsttitute and use within 3 to 4 weeks. do you know what they used to reconsitute it with ?

It's not reconstituted yet, still in powder form, they sent bactowater with it.

HCG is usually only good for 30-45 days. You will just have to use what you need and toss the rest. Ask the clinic to send you 5000iu vial/amp next time.

Oh ok, well in powder form it will be fine for 6 weeks. Once you mix it with ba water I would use it within 3 to 4 weeks.

Not sure what the best way to split it up would be..... I guess you could open it up an weigh the powder into 1/3rds and mix 1/3rd at a time????? You would need some extra sterile vials....

Or you could deal with it this way????

Thank you for your answers! Looks like the best idea is going to be wait until we are 4 weeks from the end of our upcoming cycle and just let my workout partner use the portion that would go to waste. He can buy it for the cycle after that!!!! We are another week out from beginning our first blast on STS, that puts us reconstituting and beginning to run in five weeks. Run the hcg until the end of the cycle and be ready with the clomid/nolva at the end and keep some letro on hand just in case!

During the hcg use I would use a small dose of an AI, not letro, like adex. I will cause an increase in estro. You dont need an ai during pct. Nolva and clomid are indicated.

Absolutely, you know there are volumes of info around here and it takes some time to absorb a useful amount. From what I have researched the best AI is adex, but if gyno becomes a problem the best idea is to discontinue any other AI's and begin a letro regime until it is gone and dose the letro for an additional seven days.

Tell me if this sounds accurate. You can run letro during a cycle, you can run nolva during a cycle and for pct, but you don't want to run them together or use letro for anything other than gyno reversal. Adex is great during a cycle to prevent gyno, but if it occurs, discontinue the adex and use letro until it has subsided at which point you can go back to adex until the end of the cycle.

HCG can be used during a cycle to keep testicular function going, but not if gyno is present and can be used with an AI, but only if the AI is being used in small dosages. HCG use during the end of a cycle is rec'ed if no gyno is present as it will jump start the pct process and help reduce the loss of gains. HCG should Never be used with clomid or nolva during pct.

Am I heading in the right direction with my understanding???

I think that depends on the symptoms. I you have developed a knot then letro would be indicated. However, if you start getting some of the beginning symptoms adex or aromasin will usually take care of it.

Sounds good to me. Get blood work during this process..

**V8Assassin** · 08-27-2010, 12:59 PM

Yep! I can get my blood work done through my clinic, but they are high on everything so I will probably try to find someone online that is more reasonable. I plan on doing blood work before, during, and at the end of each cycle and keeping a journal of all blood work test performed.

One other question, my sister is an oncologist, could she prescribe the adex, letro, clomid, nolva to keep on hand?
