RE: Re: Question re HCG dosing for the mathematically impaired.

[Guest guest]

Wow I think I missed this post I use Novarel on the insert that comes with it it

states to mix the HCG with 10 Mls or water. This makes 10,000 IU's in a 10 ml.

or 1000 IU's per Ml. So to do a 250 IU's shot it would be .25 mls. To do a .8

ml shot it would be 800 IU's to much never do more then 500 IU's as per Dr.

at www.allthingsmale.com read his HCG Update.

I don't us big needles for any kind of shot I do my T shots with a 27g 1ml x

1/2 " lg. needle and I do my HCG shots with a 30g 1ml x 1/2 " lg. needle. I don't

do my HCG shot subQ most do I don't because I don't feel them as fast.

To mix my Novarel I use a 5ml needle I pull 5 mls of air out of the HCG vial

then I put the air into the water vial and then pull out 5 mls of water.

When I put this water into the HCG vial I do it very slow so it dose not fome

up. I then pull 5 more mls of air out of the HCG vial and put this into the

water vial and pull 5 mls more of water out and put it into the HCG vial. I

then swerl it don't shake it. I let is sit for 5 min.'s then do my shot after

that I put the vial back into the box and put it into the fridge. It should

keep for 30 days.

Let me know how this gose useing HCG Novarel.

Ahh, I see. Thanks for the math! There is an error though, because I was perhaps

not clear. . .there is only 10mL of solvent. That is added to the HCG powder to

make 10 mL of solution. So actually, if I follow you correctly, 0.8 is 800 IU!!!

Crap. I think I need to give both doc and pharmacist a tongue lashing.

..8mL would work out to 400UI. Perhaps he is expecting a loss of a certain

amount due to the needle type.

So here are my calculations. .. Total of 20mL of fluid with 10000UI in 20mL.

That works out to about 500UI per mL. 0.8mL would equal 400 UI (500*0.8=400) .

Yes that is right so don't do .8 ml shots it's to much. Let me know how you

feel on this Novarel I feel the new lab making it for Ferring is to strong but

then it might just be me. I do my HCG shot now and my Estradiol levels shoot

why up.

They gave me Pregnyl instead of Novarel. Pharmacist said Novarel was like 3

times the price. My insurance company most likely had something to say about it.

Which might be a blessing in disguise. Just bringing my estradiol down from 130.

Was 34 a week or so ago. I don't want to shoot it up again. And I hope that 800

IU doesn't do it.

OK your good to go just on your next shot if you mixed it with 10 mls of water

don't do more then a .5 ml shot better to do .25 mls.

alright there mate

here is something for you (or anybody) to try who needs help with HCG dosing.

http://www.hcgloss.com/calculators.html

I found this the easiest way. you also get to alter the dose by adjusting the

figures and provided you use the calculator you can always ensure accuracy.

hope this helps

Now all we need is to find out if the pre-mixed HCG is anygood to use and keep.

I stopped using my Novarel and my Estradiol levels stopped going nuts. I guess

the new lab Ferring is using changed the way they make Novarel I can't take it

anymore and Medco only has Novarel so my best bet is ADC.

I have some on the way. I understand that it is possible I'll get the old

unmixed one. If it's the new pre-mixed one, I'll post my results. The only

thing I've noticed on the hcg is increased testicle size. I assume that if

the pre-mixed isn't as effective, I'll notice some shrinkage.
