Guest guest Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Either needle will work. I mix 2ml of BAC water with 2000IU so that 2000IU/2ml=1000IU per ml. For 250IU you would dose 1/4ml=0.25ml=25units. ________________________________ From: Brett Savage <brshop@...> Sent: Tue, June 8, 2010 2:17:52 PM Subject: Mixing hCG? OK, I got my hCG today from ADC. Just want to make sure I am doing this right. It is the 2000 IU called FERTIGYN made by Sun Pharmaceutical in India. If I am going to take 250 IU per dose the day before my T shot every 3 days that should be enough for 8 doses in each ampoule. Right? Each package came with a plastic tube of 2ml sodium chloride injection IP 0.9% plus they sent a separate tube of sterile water. Both of these I am going to discard and instead get some bacteriostatic water to mix it with. The ampoule is all glass and the package insert doesn't say but I assume I need to break the top off. Then use a large mixing needle to add the bacteriostatic water to the ampoule tube. I have some 3ml, 18 gage X 1-1/2 or 3ml, 22 gage X 1 will either of those do for mixing? I have the mixing instructions for the 5000 and 10000 but I have no idea how much bacteriostatic water to add to 2000. Would that be just a case of doing the math to divide it down? Now I assume I will also need a sterile empty vile to store it in. For those who have done this before does it sound like this plan is OK.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 You will need to add 2 mls of bac water each shot to do 250 IU's will be .25 mls. Pre load your needles and keep them in the fridge if you don't have a vial.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Brett: Keep us posted on how you make out with hCG. It did wonders for me and I am hoping it will make you feel a lot better as well.
