Compounded HCG?

[mikey1979]

Did they mean that hCG is no longer made anywhere altogether? So now you have to pay out of pocket insread of having it covered as you used to? If that is what they mean, that is not true.

They told me that the companies that make HCG are no longer making it. I was confused because I have never seen premixed HCG that didn't need to be kept cold after mixed. I have been taking 500iu 3 times a week and used the preg test the day after an injection so it made me think even further that I was sold garbage by the compounding pharmacy. I have refills and I am going to bring it up next time I go. Would putting a few drops on a preg test work?

Having to pay $65 for a bottle of fake HCG from a pharmacy would really piss me off...

If you are purchasing drugs from a licensed FDA approved compounding pharmacy it's unlikely that you are purchasing garbage.

Can it happen? I guess...but unlikely.

Most HCG you buy from a compounding pharmacy is from overseas like many of their drugs.

That sounds suspicious, but I guess it could be that their sources really have dried up. But I am confident you can get it from a legit source that will still be covered by your insurance if you investigate.

This also sounds fishy? I have always heard that once it is mixed, you need to keep it cool. I would keep this batch cool, too.

Is it possible they have given you the oral hCG used for diets? I have read that "HCG drops do not require refrigeration". If it is oral hCG, that will not work for HRT.

I have read about people testing their hCG with pregnancy tests on this very forum. Although I do believe they confirmed a positive result, the vets here mentioned that the result is really inconclusive. Pregnancy tests themselves can fail, and the concentrations for a positive pregnancy result and concentrations used for HRT are two different things.
