    HCG but traveling?

    Curious how you guys take your HCG if you travel or will be away for a few days, since it has to be refrigerated...? I know most protocols require it to be taken 2-3x week. Do you just skip that week or dose before you leave?

    Any solutions?

    Insulin travel packs. But if it's only few days just inject right before you leave.

    Get a unmixed bottle and mix when you get there.

    Both answers are great alternatives although having to purchase an additional HCG for the road would be a little costly. Thank you.

    I put mine in a insulated container inside a small script bottle. Then all you need is ice.

    Prefill the syringes and put them into an eyeglass case. Ice pack inside a small soft side sandwich cooler. It fits into a laptop shoulder case easily. Igloo brand makes all kinds. Hotels and motels have to accommodate people with refrigerated medications. Ask the front desk.

    Is HCG 250iu 2x week enough to keep everything running properly?

    Easier way. Inject the day before you go and after.

    Unless you're going away for a month, you'll survive without it. Don't over-complicate your life.

    perfect, but is the common dose to keep the boys running 500 2x week or 250 2x week? I know it can spike estrogen so thats what I'd like to avoid at all costs.

    250 two or 3 times a week is the norm.

    I like this. Everytime I go out of town for a weekend, I always bring a couple of pre-filled pins. Yea, like my nuts are going to shrivel up in two/three days. How dumb. Wife and I are leaving this weekend and I 'ain't gonna take it.

    With Testosterone being a controlled substance, I would think you would need a prescription or something from the doctor. I've pulled aside and searched for a jump rope in my carry on. Seems like needles and vials showing up on the X-ray would cause suspicion.

    Thanks. I start getting prescribed test next week, so that should cover it. My HCG , though is not prescription. Maybe preloaded HCG pins and bundle it all together. Airport security won't know the difference.

    Many medications are mailed overnight with an ice pack. My elderly mother-in-law gets them this way - in Styrofoam containers. Common practice. You may consider mailing them to yourself at your destination this way if you will be gone for an extended period. No airport security to contend with.
