Dosing question~~

I did a round years ago & lost weight really well. I just ordered from NuImage and am on the 1st day of VLCD (finished 2 days loading). Pretty hungry & realized i am on a dose of 200. I mixed 5000 into 5ml and am pulling to 20 on my syringe. After some reading it seems i should maybe only be doing 15? It's too late to put 10,000 into 5ml for me, can i just dose less or will that hurt my lipo dose (which is what i mixed the powder with). Drat. I'm not dying of hunger but it is day 1 on 500 calories...

Yes, drop your dose to 150iu (15 on your syringe). If you are experiencing strong hunger, you can drop to 100iu for one day and then resume at 150iu the next. That will get your levels down faster.

Once you have drawn a dose out of your mixture, you can't add more mixing solution.

The lipo is just some amino acids. A bit of change on the dose of that is not going to make any significant difference.

Leez, I just read this and am concerned for me

In the past, I’ve mixed with 10ml of water to 5000iu hcg. This time, purchased NuImage, and mixed with 5ml of liquid to 5000iu hcg. It said on rx bottle take 20cc, so figured that was 20 on my injections.....According to search online, it looks like I’m taking a dose too high....

I’m day 3, day 1 VLC day. I am not hungry, but want to catch this early on.... if I am trying to lose 15lbs to get to goal weight, what do you think?

In the past when I mixed 10ml (2:1) ratio, I dosed at between .25cc at start.

The dose you had with our 1:2 mixtures ( 5000iu HCG to 10ml bacteriostatic water) was 125iu.

To get the same dose of 125iu with a 1:1 mixture (5000iu HCG to 5ml bacteriostatic water) you would take .125cc

At at 1:1 mixture 20 or .20 would be a dose of 200iu, which yes---is too high for most people.

I have a 10,000 IU vial, not sure why MY doctor gave that to me, I usually have 5,000 Iu vials, I'm taking 12.5 or 125 iu's on my needle (I hope that's what it is!). I feel so hungry! It's annoying so I either need to go up or down this round.
