Default Please Confirm My Mixing & Dosing Calculations?
Hello Everyone,

I need to get some feedback as to whether or not I'm figuring out my mixing and dosing calculations correctly. I was given some advice a while ago about how to mix my hcg in order to use a very small amount of bacteriostatic water, but it confused me. I'm still unsure of exactly how to mix it so I'm not using as much bacteriostatic water as I was told to mix my first batch with. I find the amount of liquid I need to use which is 1ml or up to the 100 mark on my insulin syringe is just too much liquid to inject and it's time to mix a new batch.

Here are the instructions I was given for mixing my first batch:

Mix my 5000iu vial of hcg with 25cc's of bacteriostatic water giving me 25 doses, each dose of 1ml or drawn up to the 100 mark on my insulin syringe contains 200iu of hcg.

Now, in order to inject 1/2 as much liquid per injection I should be able to do this:

Mix my 5000iu vial of hcg with 12.5cc's of bacteriostatic water giving me another 25 doses only this time I'll draw up to the 50 mark on my insulin syringe and each dose should contain the prescribed 200iu per dose.

Does this make sense to all you veteran mixers and dosage calculators out there? I know it should be very simple to figure out, but I'm not confident at all when it comes to math and want to make sure I'm dosing exactly as prescribed. I just want to use less liquid so the injections are more comfortable.

It's very embarrassing to be so mathematically challenged!

Thank you for letting me know if this change is still going to give me what is prescribed and that I've calculated it correctly. I truly appreciate the help.

Sincerely,
Sparrow
