HCG Posts -1

Read the following emails from Warren:

Hi,

Please pardon me. I got your email address from weight loss forum on medhelp.com where you had posted it when asking for information. You were asking about how to lower a dosage of Pregnyl. That's my current question too. What can you tell me from you experience a year ago? What syringes did you use? How did you mix the hCG solution and make a lower dosage?

Thank you!

Warren

Hi Celinda,

Thank you for the info about Phentermine! I'll keep it mind, but I'm going to try Pregnyl first. I've got about 35 pounds to lose. Kevin Trudeau's new book details the use of hCG for weight loss. I believe that I've been able to figure out how to adjust the dosage myself. Essentially, a 1cc insulin syringe allows for adjusting between .10cc and 1cc. A 1500IU of Pregnyl is mixed with 10ml of the water solution. If .10cc is measured out with the insulin syringe, then there would be about 150IU in that shot (1500/10). It looks fairly straight forward now that I've (hopefully) figured it out! LOL

Again, thank you for responding!

Below is the online info that that helped me with the measuring "problem":

Pregnyl (hCG) Administration Instructions:

The dosage of hcg I'm taking is 35IU twice a week, normally Mon and Thur... that isn't enough to cause any type of side effects, water retention or pregnancy. A much higher intake of hcg would be needed to increase your chances or pregnancy or multiple births.. don't let that scare you.

When I purchased it I got it in 10,000IU. It comes as a white powder with bactrostatic water. Using a syringe I mix the two together.. liquid into the solid. It dissolves easily and then keep it in the frig. Using insulin needles, either 27 or 29g by 1/2", I take .2ml twice a week. Let me know if this answered your questions. Good luck!! http://www.medhelp.org/forums/WeightLoss/messages/736.html

Measuring Instructions:

One cc is equal to one ml (milliliter); the two terms can be used interchangeably. Most syringes are marked "cc" while medication strengths are marked as milligrams per milliliter (mg/ml).

One cc syringes have markings showing tenths of a cc: .10 is one-tenth of a cc; 1.0 is one cc; these two measures are frequently confused. Some syringes do not show the decimal point and are marked 10, 20, 30 on up to 100. In this case, the 10 is one-tenth (.10) of a cc, and the 100 is one cc.

Some 1cc syringes are further divided, showing markings between the tenths (usually 5 short lines between the longer tenth lines). There are times when you will be required to administer .05 cc (not to be confused with .5 cc); even without the additional markings between the tenths, half ccs are easily visualized and drawn up. If you are required to pull up something less than a half cc, such as .32, then you would pull up the the first small line after the three-tenths (.30) line.

To fill a syringe, begin with the plunger pushed fully down. Insert the needle into the rubber cap of the vial of medication. Hold the vial upside down so that the syringe and needle are pointing towards the ceiling. Gently pull back the plunger to begin the flow of medication into the syringe. Draw slightly more than you need, then push the excess out by pushing the plunger back in; this will get rid of air bubbles that were drawn up from the vial. If you still see air bubbles in the syringe, hold it pointed toward the ceiling and flick or tap your finger against the side of the syringe; this forces the bubbles up toward the hub of the syringe and you can push the collected air out of the needle. If you need to draw up more medication to make the full dose, stick the needle back into the vial and draw what you need. When you are ready to administer the injection, make sure that the medication is flush up against and into the hub of the syringe. If the medication will not flow into the syringe, you will need to start with some air in the syringe. Before inserting needle into the bottle of fluid, draw back on the plunger to pull in .5 cc or so of air. After the needle is inserted into the fluid, push down on the plunger to transfer the air in the syringe into the bottle of fluid, then pull back and begin filling your syringe.

When you withdraw the needle, keep your finger on the entry point, then gently massage the area once the needle is out.

Hi Celinda,

Here's a weblink that where bodybuilders talk about how long hCG can last with and without (?) refrigeration.
Just additional fyi info. http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=468155
