Need a little help with hcg asap

**boxer08** · 08-24-2012, 05:31 AM

Im going to be starting my hcg today and plan to run it till the end of my cycle which has 4 weeks left. From reading the hcg stickies im going to be going with 500 iu's eod, here's my problem...my hcg is a 5000 iu kit with 2ml of water, how would i work out 500 iu's on a insulin syringe if the 2 were mixed together. Is it ok to store the hcg in the fridge?

HCG is supposed to be kept cool, so yes, store it in the fridge.
If you mix 2ml bac water into 5000 iu,, each ml will be 2500 iu. 500 iu would then be 0.2 ml or 2/10 of the insulin syringe ( assuming its a 1ml syringe).

Thanks for the info, they are 1ml (10iu) insulin syringe's. Is it a good idea to run it at 500 iu every eod the last 4 weeks of my cycle?

I'm not sure. I've seen a lot of people run it at the end of the cycle, but I'm not sure about dosages for that.
The marks on the syringe are only to divide the ml into even amounts. They do not actually represent an iu.

The dosage I keep seeing is 250iu E3D but everyting is up for debate. If you use 5ml of Bac water then each ml will be 1000iu so you can just pull to the number you need on the syringe whether its 2.5 or 5 depending on the dose you decide.

The usual dose is 250iu 2x/wk. But if you're starting it late in your cycle, you can go 500iu 2x/wk for the first 2wks. Then back down to 250 for the rest of your cycle till 3days before pct.

I think 500iu eod is too much.

Got me a little confused now...where by on the syringe is it exactly?

Ive only got 2ml of bac water and 5000iu of hcg thats the way the kit came so i guess ill have to work with what i got.

.2ml = 20 units on the slin pin

Aint the smaller doses used for the whole cycle like 250iu 2x a week. Im at the end of my cycle looking to help restart production and shock the testes in to growing as ive suffered with really bad autrophy

Didn't mean to confuse. The syringe is divided into 10 equal sections. Each one represents 1/10 of a ml or 0.1 ml. How many iu that are in that is dependent on how concentrated the mix is. If 2 ml is mixed, then each mark will be 250 iu.

doing some research

no those 1ml syringes are 100iu.

**fit2bOld** · 08-24-2012, 10:12 AM

So did an experiment:
how many iu are there in 5ml? 5ml=440 iu approx.
came to this result by backfilling a 5ml syringe with a 100 iu insulin syringe

I am comfortable with saying 5ml bac water into 5000iu hcg will very closely result in 50 units in the syringe will =500iu hcg

my overall result is 5.2 ml of bac water is equal to 1000units of bac water.

**lestat85** · 08-24-2012, 11:18 AM

Mixed with 2 ml, the concentration would be 2500 iu/ml. Therefor 500 iu would equal 1/5 ml or 0.2 ml.

**fit2bOld** · 08-24-2012, 01:56 PM

yeah thats the easy part converting to iu's seem to be where we get caught up..

**lestat85** · 08-24-2012, 02:10 PM

I think a lot of people confuse the volume up with the dose. I see a lot of people using ml to explain their dose and seem confused by the concentration of the dose. It's pretty simple to figure out once you get the hang of it. I guess the math throws a lot of people off.
