    HGC needle size.

    Can anybody advise on gauge of needle for HGC use.
    I am aware that most use insulin needles, but they come in different gauges.
    Thanks

    just use a slin which would be a 30g I believe.

    I always thought a slin was a slin, I didn't know there was different gauges, then that wouldn't make it a slin? I could be incorrect.

    Sorry about the typo, apparently they come 21,23, 25, 29 and 30 in the UK.
    Will use a 30 as recommended,
    Thanks.

    An "insulin needle" is just a small syringe with fine graduations tailored to insulin use and a short needle. They are usually a 1-piece design and range from 27-31 gauge.
    For anything water-based, go with the highest gauge available.

    along this same line, I also have a question. total noob question too

    I swear I read to go with 250 iu the day before you pin, 2x wk

    I have 1cc 29g slins. far as i'm aware that's 100 iu. 250 seems way high, i'm missing something or misread. Can't find that thread now either.

    Depends on how much BW you constitute your HCG with. 250iu for me is only .10 on the syringe.

    Check out the sticky in the trt section for mixing instructions.

    Those IU marks on the syringe are for insulin (which always comes at standard concentration).
    HCG doses will depend on how much bac water your use to reconstitute it with.
