Hi fellow hcg dieters,

We've already been on HUCOG sourced from India (through Canada) @ 5000iu vials.

I mix the 5000iu vials with 5ml of bacstat in total, 1cc in the vial and add 4ml more to the storage vial, and we use Easy Touch 29 gauge 1cc 1/2" insulin syringes, which we fill to the 20 line.

As far as I calculated that should be 25 injections @ 125iu per injection.

Can someone check my math?

After reading some here I'm a bit confused as to if I have my ratio's correct or not.

I don't mind using the larger 5000iu vials because since there's two of us injecting twice daily we go through a vial's worth in 12 days and we've not had any issues with potency drop off that we have detected.

Thanks,
Rev

5000/5=1000 iu in each cc (ml). I'm not familiar with your insulin syringes, but if the 20 line is 20 out of 100 (1/5th of a cc), then you're taking 200 iu of hcg in each injection, I believe. That is probably too high.

jmmrr is correct - 5000 iu mixed with 5ml total bac water is 1000iu/ml and taking 20 units is 200iu (likely too high). At a 200iu dose a vial of 5000iu would give you 5000/200 = 25 doses. If your dose is 150iu it would give you 5000/150 = 33 doses.

Actually I made a day caluculation error, it's 6 days since there are 2 of us hence 4 doses, not 12.

But anyways, yes I know it's 200iu, that's what we were going for....based on that Collins F W guy's information.

I Have read the original protocol manual as well as K.T.'s book so I do know that the DR says as little as 125iu's is sufficient.

I guess if I up my mixing ml's to 6.5 that would allow me to still do .2 on the syringe and get 125iu's instead of 200iu's

Maybe I'll mix a batch at that ratio to try and stretch out the supply a little.....we've used it faster than I originally anticipated when ordering my initial lot, so I'm likely going to have to buy more before the stash runs out.

Thanks for the replies.

You want your dose at a level where you have little or no hunger.

The 125iu dose in P&I is an IM dose and most people do Subq (in the fat not the muscle). With subq, you sometimes need a higher dose. With Hucog, most people find that somwhere in the range of 150iu to 175iu is their best place.
