HCG mixing help ( Bac water vs sodium chloride)
- Thread starter flaco123

I imagine for proper dilution. I've never read a full explanation, but that's the o my reason that makes sense. If vet members,my doc, and my pharmacy all say the same thing, I'll go with that.

I mix mine to a stronger concentration as well,, no point in having extra volume in there that does nothing but cause a sub q bump.
As for doc and pharmacy recommendations, I've received hcg from two different pharmacies and the solution was totally different from each one. One pharmacy had it at 5.5 ml for 11,000 iu and the other pharmacy had it at 11 ml for 11,000 iu

I have also gone with a stronger concentration too to inject a smaller volume. It never seemed to affect the dilution. I only put in two ml's of BAC water to every 5000iu.

I went with it too but I did it that way because I looked up a thread here. Whatever guess I'll keep doing it the same way if it works, but can't imagine anything bad happening from a higher or lower concentration.
I think for most people it makes the math easier, 1ml = 1000iu.
I have yet to see anything about concentration and proper dilution. Not saying anyone is right or wrong here, but a good discussion.

That's interesting.... I'm guessing you are back filling slin pins to get an accurate dose?

This is your easiest way to do it.
And here's what you'll start with for each 5,000iu of hCG
1) 5,000iu hCG
2) 10ml - Bacteriostatic water (bac water)
3) 10ml - sealed mixing vial
4) slin pins - or 1cc 29g syringe
1 slin pin = 1cc (equal to 1ml) so you'll have 10 injections - that's your 10ml of bacteriostatic water.
In this mix 1cc (syringe) = 500iu of hCG - (500iu x 10 = 5,000iu of hCG)
Google - mixing hCG - and you'll find some videos...
However most of them might be examples of the hCG diet - so you can follow the mixing instructions
(not the recommended dose for the diet.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You could cut the bacteriostatic water in half... down to 5ml.
This will give you the same 500iu - if you only half of the syringe.
This would bee 50 units on your 1cc syringe... there are 100 units in 1cc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For starting out... I would stick with the 10ml mix for the first batch to keep it simple.

Yes, I back fill. I pin it together with my test at the same time.

Nothing complicated.
I just put 2ml of BAC Water in the vial that contains the 5000iu hCG powder. Mix it up and I am done. Like I said earlier, I inject 500iu of hCG and my TRT dose of test all in one syringe. I draw my test and back fill it into an insulin syringe. Then I draw my hCG and back fill it into that same insulin syringe that has the test in it. I then do an IM injection. I am using 29g 1/2" insulin syringes.
One thing I did notice is that my hCG comes with 2ml of sodium chloride (or whatever that stuff is). I took that to mean they recommend you mix the hCG with just 2ml for what that is worth.
It makes the math a little tougher, but not impossible. Each ml has 2500iu of hCG in it. So each 10th of a ml (or tick mark) has 250iu of hCG. I like injecting .20ml a lot better than 2ml.
. The downside is that I will have a little more error with each injection as drawing smaller quantities is less accurateDoes anyone see a problem with this method?
That's exactly what I do Mega. It seems to be working fine according to my wife...I wont get into the details of how she rates the effectivity of my HCG. The pharma that makes it seems to think that 1ml per 5000iu's is okay.
250 per 0.1 is easy for me. I do math for a living, but I like not doing it when I get home.

I do IM injections. Just not super deep IM with only a 1/2" needle.
I have been able to get 3ml in those little vials that the hCG comes in.

Thanks for that mate, your style wouldn't fit with my TRT protocol though....
I will consider switching my HCG to slin pins though, I hadn't considered back-filling before...
I was of the opinion that I may be overdoing the bac water the way I've been doing it.
Cheers
