HCG reconstitution

[ron123]

I have read lots of threads about reconstituting HCG with Bac water but why is it necessary. for example if you have 5000iu hcg and you add 1ml bac water, you will have 5000iu/ml. Therefor if I wanted a 500iu dose I would just use 0.1cc on the insulin scale. Is this realistic? Obviously I know if you have 5000iu hcg and 10 ml bac water diluted you will have 500iu/ml. But why is it necessary to use large volumes of water into you when you could inject 0.1cc using the above method with just 1ml of water. If this is correct why do people use lots of bac water when you could get the same dose just measuring on the slin pin.

I have seen compounding pharms using 5 ml vials with 10,000 units of hcg . The brand uses a 10,000 unit concentration using 10 mls ..

So even though they are both 10,000 units the concentration is different . so with 10ml bac 10,000 units hcg concentration is 1000iu/ml

but with a concentration of 5 ml bac 10,000 ius hcg I would only need to use .5 ( half the solution). and so on

What I am saying is you can use less with a higher concentration

I understand what you are saying about concentrations depending on how much water you use, but still want to know if you use 5000iu with 1ml bac water and inject a tenth of a ml which equates to 500iu what is the problem in doing this. Is this literally because the hcg would not disolve properly in such limited amount of water. If this is the case what is the dilutution ratio in order to ensure the compound is indeed mixed. Thank You

Why do people use more Bac water than you need to if you can evaluate your concentrations with a slin pin using just 1ml of water, seems very strange to me. I appreciate its late where you are it is 10.48 in the morning here and as ever I am trying to get as much valued info as i can from you guys. Cheers

I am wondering the same because it is hard for storage and finding bac water etc... but maybe the reason would be that it will be a little difficult to ensure .1 injection as oppose to 1ml/cc... that might be a little tough... ??

Lets hope someone can give us the answer we are looking for. Sometimes when I am researching it just seems like I am going around in circles. I must admit this viewpoint is generally held with regard to HCG and specifically PCT. There is that much conflicting info on PCT. Lets hear from you experienced guys out there. Trial and error is all well and good but it would be easier to get things correct from the start.

The main reason for using more than the 1ml that comes with the hcg is acuuracy of dosing imo. There is a smaller margin of error when you need to draw 0.5ml vice 0.1ml.

Cheers Njord much appreciated, that clears that up once and for all.
