Just tested my HCG. Very faint line!!!

[technodrome]

I had to order my HCG from China because it was hard to find.

Now, Always suspicions of any Chinese supplier i figured i'd test the HCG with a home pregnancy test.

I diluted what was supposed to be 2000 iu of HCG powder with 2.5 ml of sterile water that i got from a clinic up the road. Then i dropped 3 drops onto a pregnancy test. The test did show a line indicating a HCG positive reading, but and extremely faint line.

For women a faint line is meant to be accepted as a positive test.

However i'm thinking this HCG is garbage. Perhaps real, but cut with something.

The question is what could it be cut with. If anything. I mean is there anything else that would dissolve instantly like that.

Obviously it has some real HCG.

I'm not sure what to do. I need the HCG. Tempted to take it. But maybe i should up the dose to compensate for the potential weakness.

Has anyone else ever had this happen??

Good question, hopefully someone will chime in who has tried it.

The problem with upping the dose is that you don't know what the dose in the vial is. During the lypidization (sp?) process the white puck gets freeze dried. They have "fillers" that create volume for the HCG to adhere. The lab can put 100iu/vial and call it 5000iu and there ain't a thing we can do about it. I would bet money that your HCG's been watered down. By how much? Your guess is good a mine. I'm so tired of seeing members getting gypped by Chinese companies. It must be the national pass time over there to screw over Westerners.

When they aren't poisoning the food, contaminating our medications or building crappy tools and electronics they are busy helping North Korea to build Nukes.

Tell me again why we trade with them?

Because the labor cost there is free. I mean cheap. But whats the diff. Lol.

To op. If you can't find any other source and really have to use this batch, maybe you can just use your nuts as a gauge. Still start at the usual dose of 250iu 2x/wk but bump it up every wk till the boyz stop shrinking.

i dont understand why you think its bad. It changed the test.
Also you put 3 drops after you diluted it with 2.5ml. So there wasnt a high concentration of hcg . Were you expecting neon lights flashing when you put it on the test?

ya, I was expecting the line to change more dramatically like it usually dose when people test there HCG on youtube video's i've seen. The test says its sensitive to 50mIU per ml. From what i've read up mIU means basically a millionth of an IU per ML..

So ya, unless i got the definition wrong i kinda thought i was putting a concentration on there that was vastly stronger then what the test is capable to recording. So i was expecting a strong and fast line to appear.

Am i wrong?? Are you saying when you've tested yours you get a similar result as i did?? I'd like to know. Thanks...

only test it a couple times. Getting fake hcg has never been a concern to me. But as long as the line changed i was fine with it.
