    HCG mixing question - Guidance needed

    My Hcg just came in. This is the first time I've used it, so I'm not 100% sure what to do next.

    I got three amps of HCG and three amps of Solvent. Is the solvent BA water or is BA only needed when mixing powder?

    I think i need to get a sealed sterile vial, right?

    1 amp = 5000 iu. How should I mix it to get easy to use doses?

    Also, I realize it needs to be refridgerated. Does it only need refridgerated after it's mixed or should I cool the amps now?

    It was shipped from Europe, so I'm sure it wasn;t temp controlled the entire time. Is it still Ok to use?

    Thanks in adance for any help.

    the solvent is either saline water (0.9% sodium chloride),or bacteriostatic water.
    it only needs to be refidgerated when reconstituted.
    it will keep once mixed for 30 days in the fridge(some manufacturers claim 60 days).
    use a 1ml insulin syringe reconstitute with 1 ml of solvent giving 5000iu/ml or 500iu/0.1ml.
    only mix what you are going to use.store the unopened phials away from light at 2-15 degree C.

    what way are you intending using it?

    haha, kinda funny, anyway I have some of the same questions, so ill bump it for you. I have seen this answered before, if you do a search you can find all your answers, I always like hearing new opinions though, especially since no one agrees on how to do hcg

    I posted this a few weeks back...

    Buy some Sterile Vials from AR-R and some Bac Water (30ML). Mix 1ML with the powdered HCG slowly mixing it. Dont shake it, its very sensitive. Inject the mixed HCG into the sterile vial. So, 1ML = 5000ius. Inject a further 4ML's into the Vial, so now, 1ML = 1000ius. Personally, I'd add another 5ML's, so, 1ML = 500ius which is a nice figure to work with.

    I remember reading that.

    I had a brainfart. i didn;t realize the Pregnyl amps contained a powder. I thought it ws a liquid.
    duuurrrrr.

    Swift,

    If I add an additional 5ml of BA, would the does be 250 iu/ml or 375 iu/ml?

    I ordered some slin pins, but if you think that is too much fluid to inject Sub Q, I might go IM.

    maxima5 i asked previously what way are you intending using it?
    what dosage and for how long?
    sub Q is easiest and you do not need a large volume.

    I was going to use it as an atrophy preventative during cycle at 250-500iu E3D, and then during pct. IM or Sub-Q. doesn;t matter to me.

    Also, if I need BA water, then should I toss the solvent that came with it?

    Yes, this is the best option!
    Next time buy some 1000ius (also availible) they come with 1ml, so more simple to dosage.

    I just did what Swift recommended above.
    Should the powder have dissolved immediately when the 1st ML touched it?
    I put the first ML in the Pregnyl amp to mix it so it could be transferred t the sterile vial. After I put the first ml in, it was instantly clear. Is this normal?

    jesus, you guys make this so much harder than it is! all i do is take the solvent, pour it into the dry powder, then i use a needle attached to a syringe to mix and dissolve the powder, then suck it up with the needle into a syringe. i then put the syringe, needle and all, in the fridge for when i need it. then, you just change the needle as necessary. simple as that! it's sanitary, quick, and efficient.
