    Mix HCG in what?

    What's up guys I got some hcg that came in vials that are 5000iu each. I'm am about to order the water to mix it with but am a little confused as to what I mix it "in". Do I buy a seperate vial or something to put it in? Could someone explain this process to me? One more question, are the .5cc 29guage insulinge syringe the same as the 100iu type? Sorry for all the questions guys but hcg just confuses the hell out of me and I've read the sticky at the top of the page. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again.

    Dude I stated in my post that I read the FAQ. However, my questions aren't answered in it. My hcg didn't come with the vials of water that I would mix it in so I'm having to order some. My question is do I buy say a 20ML sealed sterile vial and inject it all in there or what...I will check youtube as well. Thanks.

    yes you mix it into a sealed sterile vial, what size you use will be determined by what quantity you wish to mix and at what concentration. I guess we just all figured that part of it was obvious, the faq tells you specifically to mix the powder with bacteriostatic water, I guess you could use a coffee cup or an old soda bottle, but a sealed sterile vial just seems like a good choice.
    as for the syringe question, a 100iu slin pin is usually 1cc, the .5cc syringes would be marked 50iu.

    what i do is add 1ml bacteriostatic water to the HCG.. then draw that out and put it into a sterile vial.. then add 4ml more bac water to that.. making 1000iu per ml.
    then use 500iu / 1/2ml

    Thanks for the responses guys. Mammon...are your hcg vials 5000iu? This seems pretty easy to do.

    yes in his illustration it would be with 5000iu of hcg.

    it takes a while to get the hang of the math, but once you do it's pretty easy to work with. as another example, if you have 5000iu, you can add 10cc water, and then each cc would be 500iu.

    Ok this clears a good bit up for me. I ordered 20mL of bacteriostatic water, 1 20cc sealed steril vial, and some 1cc insulin pins. I will come back before I do it just to be on the safe side. What's your guys opinion on the best injection sight? I've seen you can do it in the stomach, quad, arm, or glute. Which seems to be the safest if I am doing it myself? Thanks alot for the help guys!

    I shoot HCG sub-q into my stomach area, I pinch a fold of skin near the belly botton and go there.

    Thanks guys everything went fine. What I did was put 4 cc's of bacteriostatic water in an empty sterile vial, added 1cc to the hcg and then added it to the vial once diluted. Took a half cc shot, which is 500iu, in the stomach close to my belly button. Barely felt it...I do have once question though. Does anyone know what the shelf life of unopened hcg is? the kind I have is written in chinese and a can't make out much on it but I do see the dates 2005 and 2006 on it. I hope this isn't too old cause I've already used it and it's all I can get...!
