Not to add too much to this discussion at once, but my pharmacist told me to draw out 10 mls of the water and put it into the powdered hCG. Next time I'm going to ask for the 5,000 units (looks like they gave me the 10,000).

However, in GD's hCG thread, he has only 4 mls of water:

Reconstituting 10,000IU’s of hCG
Use a larger bore (i.e., 18g) needle, and transfer your bacteriostatic water into the vial with the freeze dried hCG powder. You want to inject until you have added a total of 4ml's of solution. Keep the powder and vial upright because you can blow the hCG out of it when you pull the needle out of the vial. Otherwise be sure to draw air out after you push the water in to release pressure each time. Also, make sure to hold the plunger of the syringe when you first penetrate the vial as there is a vacuum inside the vial and it will want to pull the plunger down at an accelerated rate and you don’t want that to happen.

When completed, gently swirl the vial to mix. Keep in the refrigerator once reconstituted. It will keep its potency for 60 to 90 days.

When using an insulin syringe, each unit (line) on the scale of the syringe equals 25IU's of hCG. 250IU’s of hCG is then 10 units on the side of the insulin syringe.
Is this something that I need to ask my pharmacist about? Sorry... just a little confused and want to be sure I'm headed the right direction out of the gate.

Thanks!
