Subcutaneous Injection Mixing Instructions

I haven't used NuImage, so can't address that. Diet Doc sent me 31 gauge 5/16th needles. But they all work. You just don't want them thinner than 31 gauge, because they bend easily and you throw a lot of them away. I've used the 29 gauge before and they were comfortable, so yeah, it really doesn't matter in that range.

What concerns me is if both companies send basically the same supplies- amount of bacteriostatic water (nuimage sent me 30ml bottle), hcg (5000) and needles. I read if any of these are different-then the way you mix it and /or how much hcg to inject will be different. This makes me a little nervous and I would prefer to just do everything the same way I did in my previous round with Nuimage. Could you help me out with this info, please? Thank you!

I've used NuImage, Dietdoc (previous round), and Riverfront this round. My body did not like the B12 mixed into the hcg, it actually caused injection site irritation every day. and would create red bruises at the injection site that took months to finally go away. Dietdoc was good enough to allow me to exchange the hcg containing the B12 for the pure hcg with nothing added, and everything was fine after that. This round is the first time I've used Riverfront, but it seems to be going well, and their compounding pharmacy happens to be located in my area.

How did you like Riverfront? I was going to order from them for a round I’m starting in August. I wanted to get enough for two rounds but they want to sell me one vial, 11,000. I’d never known anything higher than 5,000, and wanted two 5,000 vials.

Riverfront has been the best injections I've used so far. Good Loses, No Hunger, Hair Growth - instead of Loss, and no hyperpigmentation blotches on my face like I've had in the past whenever I've been in P2.

Hopefully stabilization will be just as good as well.

How many days are you keeping your mixed hcg in the fridge? My supplier says it is good for 40 days... 5000 iu mixed with 10ml bac water.

She also says I can use same vial of bac water for next round?? Doesn't sound right! Also, can we use sterile water instead?

You cannot mix with bacteriostatic water if its been opened for more than 30 days. You cannot use sterile water, as it is not meant for multiple dosing. You can use bacteriostatic sodium chloride instead of the water.

Its possible your HCG could be good for 40 days. Usually we say 30 days is about the max, but if it was compounded in the US and recently, it can be potent for a longer period of time. The reason is that some suppliers will require their HCG to be more than 100% potency, so even if it does lose some strength, it will still be close to 100% effective.

If you get past 30 days and start to see hunger or poor losses, or you just want to check viability for peace of mind, you can do that by using a whole dose on a pregnancy test strip. Any positive result, even a faint one, means your HCG is still good.
