HCG question

[fullboost]

Not exactly a steroid, but wasn't really sure where to post this.

What's the deal with injecting HCG?
I'm aware it's often recommended to use an insulin syringe and give yourself a subcutaneous injection (inject into a layer of fat below the skin)
However what i'm not sure on is dosing and how to go about measuring.
HCG comes in International Units or ui's and from what i can gather, this doesn't relate in any way to cc's, ml's etc - so my question is, how would i go about injection 250iu of HCG?

Thanks

From what I got from a fellow member is take 2ml of bac water and mix that with the HCG and I pull to the 10 on my insulin syringe and that will give me 250ui of HCG. I have been doing that for about 8 weeks now and everything seems to be ok. Hope the helps I am sure somebody with more knowledge than myself my explain a little better.

^^^^^ Nice this would have been helpful if I could not get the answer a few weeks ago. So 2ml works for me.

Great cheers, next question then. How do i store my HCG? Surely if it comes in an amp, once its opened and mixed i can't then keep it for an 8 week cycle?

I bought some steril vials and once mixed in my hcg vial i pulled all of it into my syringe and slowly put it in the steril vial and keep it in the fridge. Lasts about 4-5 weeks and then I just mixed up another but since I will be done with it in a couple of weeks the rest will be thrown out.

you can pre load the syringes and keep them in the fridge or buy a sterile vial

I have read in a couple different places that you should not run HCG for more than 3-4 weeks? Is this just hogwash? or whats the real deal on how long u can run it

[gixxerboy1]

depends on the dose. Some run high doses for a couple weeks. Then it shouldnt be used for a long time. You can become desensitized. i like 250iu 2x a week during the cycle up to pct

5000 iu at 500/week will last ten weeks. This is about what i plan to do.

Can all this be stored in the fridge for ten weeks?

i had read that it lasts only 3-4 weeks in the fridge before losing potency?

would it be a good idea to either freeze the rest in a vial and bring out when needed or to preload the syringes and freeze them?

[gixxerboy1]

do not freeze, you read different things in different inserts. I've seen 90 days also

Wait this is news to me, i plan to use it for an 8 week prop cycle - is it gonna be no good after X many days then?

According to the literature that comes in Pregnyl (pharma hcg), it is stable for 60 days.

This would have to be a conservative estimate otherwise they'd be getting sued left n right if it began to lose potency. Also the FDA typically has very conservative exp. dates.

Also as Gixx said, I have come across credible information claiming up to 90 days as well.

Worst case scenario, after 60-90 days it may lose potency, it will not become harmful.
