Understanding HCG Measurements

[cdownie927]

Ok I did a ton of research on hcg and I am going to use it now because im still shut down from a recent cycle. the question is this how do i measure 500iu can I use a regular pin or do i need a slin pin and when I mix this I break the two vials and put the dry into the wet (am I correct) how do I mix it and keep it in the fridge because I am going to do it ed. If I need a slin pin can I get that at a local pharmacy or do I have to order.

Please help because I want to get the guys back!

it all depends on what size HCG you got. They come in 1000iu's 2000iu's 5000iu's 10000iu's. Most people use an insulin syringe and do it in a fold of skin in the belly. You want to put the water into the powder portion. if you have 2000iu's version, then on a u-100 syringe, 50 units would be 1000iu's. My husband just stores the rest in another syringe in the fridge until it is to be used. Depends on what state you are in, but usually you can get them over the counter at pharmacies

I dont know why people always say to use it Sub Q. It says right on the box for IM use. So thats how Ive been doing it. My HCG came in 2500iu doses. I was planning on doing 500iu a day to until I saw that 2500iu was only 1cc. So Im just doing 1250 every other day and it seems to be working great. I break off the top and add the liquid to the powder.

It is just a simple question of doing a little bit of basic math. All you need is a calculator. The brand that I have is intervet. The HCG comes in a 5ml vial and contains 5,000IU of GCG. This is equal to a strength of 1000IU per ml. So, If I want 500 IU, it would be half of that, so .5ml per 500mg. Use a "normal" 1.5inch 22.5 guage pin, and inject IM.

Many docs recommend SC vs IM it is supposed to be less painful that way. My Profasi box says IM/SC, BTW. The absorbtion rate for water based injections SC is higher than IM too, not by a huge margin though.

Try mixing the 2500 IUs with 2.5 CCs of bacteriostatic water; then you will have 5, 500 IU, .5CC injections, perfect for a 1cc slin syringe...

I go IM as per instructions, but it sucks. Bacteriostatic water does not provide any lubrication for the needle, making your injections feel like your trying to punch through your muscle with a ten guage pin.

Ive just been using the same 25G 1" pins into my thighs that Ive been using for my test and tren shots. Its really not all that painful. The tren shots are much worse.

real easy get a steril 20cc vial, lets say you have 10,000
ius, take the powder vial snap it open, take 2cc bac. water
shoot it in the powder, swirl it until it total disolves no bubbles,
suck that out, shoot that into your steril vial repeat that ,then shoot 6 more ccs into the steril vile now you have 1,000ius per cc
now was'nt that easy.

I'm not trying to be an asshole but if you did "tons of research" how come you can't figure out Grade 2 math?? It just seems really strange to me.

lol, hey be nice now... sometimes some people are just too lazy to do the math.

Although, I WILL admit that I am quite confused with the dosages-- with other brands. What I do have is the Pregnyl 5000 I.U. (a box of 6 amps so, 3 x 5,000 I.U.)

So, if I mix the 5000 IUs with 5 CCs of bacteriostatic water and then I will yield 10, 500 IU, .5CC injections?

Should I purchase a sterile glass vial for the mixing? or simply mix in a large syringe?

Yes to the math.

I think a sealed sterile vial is the way to go, they're just $1.50 at getpinz.

karma to ya austin

I just got my hcg and its Loeffler 10000ui the dry solution seems to be hard when I shack it is that normal

I know Im going to get shit for this math shit but id rather be safe than sorry you guys got to understand

so any how is there any way i can do this without getting the vials and water because thats going to take a little while to get and i want to start it asap


The bottle reads:
Cada 100 ml de suspension reconstituida contiene:

Gonadotropina Corionica...........10,000U.I.
Vehiculo c.b.p. ...............................1.0ml


So im guessing each ml is 1,000 ui's (correct me if im wrong)
or is 1ml 10,000 ui

So if I have to use the water and another vial i but 10cc of water with the other 2 bottles combined to make a total of 20cc's and the 1cc would be 1,000ui's (but id rather not do that but if i have to i have to)

Also I would be taking the liquid out with a syringe and putting it in the dry through the rubber top and shaking it

SORRY I JUST DONT THINK MY MIND IS WORKING TONIGHT

 

[cdownie927]

also i will be taking the liquid out of the one with a syringe and putting it in the other vial through the rubber top correct
