Personally I wouldn't add b12 to your hcg mix. But taking B12 would be a benefit while on hcg.

I actually like adding it to my injection. I take b12 every week anyway. On my last round, I substituted 2 cc of my b12 for the bac water and I felt really great on it.

I'm new to this and am very confused on dosing for 2000 Corion HCG. I diluted it w/ 10mL of Bacteriostatic water and have been told to shoot 200 iu bc I'm doing this SubQ. I did that today (1st day of loading). Now, I received a few responses telling me that 200 iu is too high for SubQ injections. Some say it's necessary... some say its too much! I'm so confused!

Since I already diluted the solution to make 200 iu HCG... and wanted to inject let's say 150 iu... according to the formula in the beginning of this thread that would mean to inject .75 or 75. Does that mean 75cc or mL on the syringe? I'm just a little confused on the measurement.

Thank you in advance!

You would draw up 75 units on your syringe for 150iu.

You want your mixture to be as "clean" as possible since you are going to be using it for a week or more. 2) You might want to equalize the pressure in your mixing vial when you initially mix. This will prevent the pressure of the few cc's you have put in there spitting back at you. To do this, after you inject the Bac Water and hcg, invert the bottle so the needle is into an area of the bottle without liquid in it, and withdraw into the syringe the amount of air you just added to the vial as Bac Water, hcg. 3) Your Bac Water needs to be refrigerated if you are going to use it to remix within 30 days. If you are not remixing for 30 days, you must discard the bottle. The preservative in Bac Water is only good for about 30 days after opened, and it must be refrigerated during that time.

Hope these help some too.

I know this is probably a very sophomoric question, but where do I get needles from? I'm going to order my HCG today, so it should be here in a week, but I'm wondering where do I get needles from. I want to do an intermuscular shot on my upper arm, what kind of needles will I need for that? Or does an insulin needle work better? Thanks for any info.

I am not sure where you can buy IM needles - maybe at all day chemist? IM needles are longer than insulin needles because they are meant to be put all the way into your muscle. Insulin needles are very small so you can inject into the fat layer. I personally use the insulin needles and they work good.

Oh my god, than you so much for this information, it is just what I needed, y'all are awesome!

I'm a moron. Can someone explain the difference between 2000, 5000 and 10000? Got first round from the doctor and for next round I want to do it myself, now that I have an awesome support group that isn't 20 miles from home.

and if I order 3 vials of 2000 for example, will would I mix weekly, or a months worth? Will it go bad? Can I order a bunch now so I can store it for summer?? If I do, powder or liquid? I'm in Arizona and I wouldn't want to take a chance with 4 months of sick heat. I suppose if I ordered by mid may for a june start I should be ok... I think 3 rounds should do it. (hahahaha I hope.)

I will probably be here a lot over the next few weeks while figuring out what I want... so hope you all don't get annoyed with me!
