I'm confused about mixing!

I'm confused about mixing 10000 IUs. Do you mix all at once? I'm wanting to do daily injections at .2cc for 6 weeks. How much water do I add? I'm totally new at this and don't want to mess up! Any help would be appreciated :) Thanks!

You do need to mix it all at the same time. What dosage are you wanting to inject daily... 125iu... 150iu... 175iu... 200iu? You need to know that before figuring out how much bactereostatic water to use. Just for simplification, let's use 200iu as an example. 10000iu divided by 200iu gives you 50 200iu doses. Now take that 50 doses and multiply it by the amount that you want to inject which is .2cc. That will give you 10cc. That would be how much bac water you need to mix with for a dosage of 200iu when injecting .2cc. I hope that this helps.

10000iu / dosage = # of doses
# of doses x amt to inject = amt of bac water to use

Thanks so much for the reply. Yes, I would like to be at 200iu daily. So, once it's mixed do you store it in the vial or do you make up all your syringes? Again, thanks for the help!

Most store the vial in the fridge and draw out their dose daily. Personally, I pre-loaded all of my syringes and put them in the freezer. That way, if I have some left at the end of the round, I just save it for the next one and don't have to worry about the hcg losing its potency. The down side to freezing is that you can't adjust your dose, if needed. It's really a matter of personal choice.

Mix 1cc bac water per 1000 IUs of hcg. For your 10000 you will need a 10cc vial. For dosing here is how you draw:

250 IU = 25 units (on insulin syringe) = 0.25cc

225 IU = 22.5 units = 0.225 cc

200 IU = 20 units = 0.2cc

175 IU = 17.5 units = 0.175 cc

150 IU = 15 units = 0.15 cc

125 IU = 12.5 units = 0.125 cc

Use insulin syringes and you can measure those tiny amounts easily.

Thank you so much for all of your help. It's very much appreciated and I'm sure I will have more questions soon :)

You can freeze your mixed HCG? If you have some left out of your bottle for the next round and it doesnt lose potency? So, then do you have to thaw it out on the counter before you use it or do you thaw it in the fridge?

I haven't frozen my hcg between rounds. I think it was Sharin' that did. I don't know if freezing makes a difference or not (some say not but it doesn't hurt), but just refrigerating it will keep it fine for quite a LONG time, up to 4 months that we know of. If frozen, I would thaw it in the frig.

I froze mine in the little bottle, then on a whim, started a round, and tossed it in a hot pan of water to thaw in record time.

It was a short round, and worked fine. (23 days) I tossed it after that, tho. Wasn't much left, and I just figured it wouldn't be worth 'experimenting' with on a new round later.
