Selah, I've done it both ways too. First round I went to a local clinic. They charged me $595 for a 40 day cycle, which was ridiculous because i still gave myself the injections. They just mixed and prepped them fir me. I just couldn't manage going to the clinic everyday as it was too far and took too long. So basically they made a ton off me! For R2 I decided to it myself and it's been great. Purchased the real stuff from Reliable. I bought 5 vials if 2000 iu each for $72! Then bought a 40 day mixing kit from Amazon that had everything i needed. I read extensively on here about mixing instrux from the pros and had no problem at all. The other advantage of doing yourself allows you to adjust your dosage at will, something I couldnt do at the clinic. If your comfortable with mixing and giving yourself the injections, its really the way to go. If you're not and have the bucks and time to spare, go with the clinic. But don't fool yourself into thinking that they're buying the hcg domestically! Hope that helps. Feel free to ask whatever!
