Grammy's instructions are to mix 10ml bacteriostatic water with 5000iu HCG. Many of the suppliers instructions are to mix 5ml with 5000iu, but that makes a very potent mix that is hard to adjust. And some of your dose is left in the needle, so its hard to be accurate at that ratio. Its much easier to use higher ratios. Dr. Simeons used a 1:4 ratio, so he would have mixed 20ml bacteriostatic water with 5000iu HCG.
Here is where it gets confusing with what you have done so far: If your bottle already had liquid HCG, then you subtract that amount from the total that you are mixing into the HCG. Generally, liquid HCG has been mixed with ONE ml bacteriostatic water, which means you need to add 4ml to that to get 5ml, and add 9ml to achieve 10ml. It sounds like you can't do either one with the tiny vial the HCG arrived in, since you could only add 3ml.
If your bottle had only 1 ml and you don't get a new larger sterile vial, then your total dose has to be figured on 4ml total. You can use the formula I posted to figure that out. If you don't know how many ml liquid was in your bottle, you will need to ask the supplier to be sure. I don't recommend you try to dose with that concentrated a mix though. Its too hard to be accurate and you'll run into problems.
When you get the larger sterile vial, you can use the bacteriostatic water that you opened if you store it in the fridge until the sterile vials arrive. As long as you don't start drawing any doses, you can then add the additional water needed to what you have already mixed in the new vial and then start your round. You cannot re-use a sterile vial. You need to use a new one each time.
As you do your round, take into account that the HCG is only good for up to 30 days after the first mixing day, and can even start weakening before that. Also, your bacteriostatic water can only be used for 30 days after opening as well. (As long as you start a new mixture within that 30 days, you can use it to mix your next batch.)
