Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 OK, so I have come to learn that even if my endo will proscribe the hcg for my secondary hypogonadism, my insurance coverage makes me pay a $100 co-pay per 30 day supply. Mind you, I can get 50,000IU's of hcg for that same price from ADC... from what I've read on here and elsewhere that's WAY WAY WAY more than a 30 day supply. It's obviously cheaper if I buy it in the 5 vials of 10,000 iu's form rather than just 30 days worth at a time. How long does it last dry? How about after I mix it? Or should I buy it in smaller quantities? I don't know what dosage I will end up with, but from what I've read here and elsewhere, I am assuming somewhere between 250iu-500iu /day. Lastly, this stuff is IM right? Not subcutaneous? Thanks! LostOne0069 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Several people report that hCG from ADC is functionally sound; IMO, no different then buying any other generic drug. The hCG that ADC carries is not all packaged in multi-use vials, so if that is important to you, dig down into the product description. IIRC HuCog, Ovidac, and Corion are in vials; each has different country of origin. The supplied vials hold about 2.5 - 3 mL liquid. Choose the IU size that best fits into a 30-day or less use pattern. Some people like the 2000IU size since it gets used up before there is any concern about degradation. On the other hand, 5000IU vials may be more cost effective. In the dry state, the hCG will keep for a while. This depends upon the lot ADC sends you. A product made this month should have a range of 23 months shelf-life. Life is only about 30-days once reconstituted.; so only mix one vial at a time the day first needed - the refrigerate. No hCG is marketed for subQ use... it is an off label use but reported as effective. Personally, I would get a script from your doctor and have no concern ordering from ADC. > > > OK, so I have come to learn that even if my endo will proscribe the hcg > for my secondary hypogonadism, my insurance coverage makes me pay a $100 > co-pay per 30 day supply. > > Mind you, I can get 50,000IU's of hcg for that same price from ADC... > from what I've read on here and elsewhere that's WAY WAY WAY more than a > 30 day supply. > > It's obviously cheaper if I buy it in the 5 vials of 10,000 iu's form > rather than just 30 days worth at a time.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Your better off getting the small HCG 2000IU's from ADC but the water that comes with it is not going to keep it in the fridge for up to 30 days. If your going on HCG only you start with 100 IU's / day you can shoot IM or subQ I like doing IM into my thigh with a small insulin needle. Get the Hucog 2000 IU's you get 10 of them for $80.00. https://www.alldaychemist.com/1264-h.html You need to by bacteriostatic water to mix it. https://www.alldaychemist.com/1381-sterile-water-for-injection.html This is how your mix it. ================================ BTW...the water you need to reconstitute HCG is bacteriostatic water. Calculating HCG: There isn't a specific ratio of cc/ml to IU. It depends on how you mix it. It's quite simple. If you dillute 5,000 IUs HCG with 5ml (cc) solvent, the end result is 1,000 IUs per ml (cc). Divide the same 5,000 IUs with 10 ml (cc) and the end result is 500 IUs per ml (cc). Therefore, a large part depends on the concentration of HCG per ampoule or vial. Mixing HCG: (Items needed: bacwater h20 and some 5ml emty vials-get****). 1) Open hcg/amp with powder 2) Use a syringe to pull out 1cc of BacWater and put in amp with HCG 3) It will instantly dissolve 4) Then Use an empty 5ml vial (sterile and sealed) put 4ml of Bacwater in the vial 5) Take syringe and ad the mixed HCG solution to the 5ml vial 6) Shake it and you have 5000IU's of HCG 7) Than draw 1cc and inject 8) put the rest in the refrigerator •The reason your discarding the amp of solvent cause its made for 1 times use and you wouldn’t be able to refrigerate it and use it a week later again. That’s why you need Bac H2o. •The most common side affect associated with HCG is gynecomastia. The concurrent intake of Nolvadex with HCG prevents gynecomastia, prevents/minimizes leydig cell desensitization and contiues the stimulation of pituitary LH once HCG has been discontinued. •HCG will last approximately 30 days if mixed with Bac h2o instead of the solvent it comes with. •You can keep the mixed hcg in vial or pins In the fridge till use Co-Moderator Phil > From: <kevinh@...> > Subject: Re: Purchasing HCG > > Date: Tuesday, January 26, 2010, 4:59 PM > Several people report that hCG from > ADC is functionally sound; IMO, no different then buying any > other generic drug. The hCG that ADC carries is not > all packaged in multi-use vials, so if that is important to > you, dig down into the product description. IIRC > HuCog, Ovidac, and Corion are in vials; each has different > country of origin.
