I'm here too. I did injections for both rounds. I tried drops from GNC for the first time this week because I'm pretty sure my hcg has been deactivated due to it being over 30 days old and kept in the freezer between rounds. I started gaining weight instead of losing so I used the drops along with the injections this past week and started losing again. I start P3 tomorrow but when I start R3 in July I will open and mix my last vial of hcg.

After this I think I will buy the pellets if I need to do any more rounds or try to buy the injections on my own instead of getting a prescription. I'm hoping to get to my goal on this next round. Hopefully I can maintain my goal weight and not have to worry about doing another round.

I am at .15 on the insulin needle, mixed the same 5k/5mil. I have been lucky and not had hunger issues, but I believe that if you are hungry you should LOWER your dose. Also, another test is if you are skipping a day... if your hunger gets better on that day... again.. lower dose. Just my opinion from my research.

Welcome and good luck on your journey.

I used .25 the first round and .2 the second round. When I used .25 the first round I didn't have enough left at the end to get through 23 injections. My doctor suggested I use .2 on the second round to get through 23 days. I buy enough for 40 injections at a time so one vial would only be about 20 days if using .25. By doing .2 I can get 2 short rounds out of the 5000 iu supply.

I do injections. I stay at 150-175iu. I think the 200 ius is too high for me and causes rebound like Pounds and Inches states. I agree, if I am hungry I lower my dose. 125 to 200 is the range.

This makes sense to me. I think I will lower my dosage next time to see if it helps. It seems to be working for many people on this forum.

ok i have read that if you are still hungry to lower the dose. Should I lower by .5? Im only on injection day 4 today. Should I wait a few more days then lower or should I go ahead and lower starting tomorrow?

I would lower to .15 or .175 on insulin syringe ?

I do injections too! Next round I might add in some pellets on top of it for the hunger part. Someone on here does that.

I do have to say, your avatar is a little. . . creepy. LOL! It makes me smile though, not complaining. Is it from a tv show or anything?

Its actually very confusing at first. I would order the vials in 2000 iu (that way the entire bottle stays fresh for the entire length. It only does about 15/16 doses so order enough of them. I would also make sure you order the freeze dried and not the premixed. It starts losing potency when mixed, so that would be problematic. i would get hucog... hope that helps..

ok i have a difference of opinion as far as vial ordering. I order (2) 5000 iu vials and that lasts me a full 40 days. I don't understand why someone would order the 2000 iu's maybe someone could tell me.

My avatar is from 4chan google " y u no " its just something silly.

I decreased my dose today to .15 and believe it or not I think I am less hungry. I was very very busy today and I also had fillet mignon for lunch and that is filling so I will see tomorrow I suppose.

Also, i order from a diff site but will not list it here but they are very "cheap"

My reason is short round vs long round and the potency only lasts for 30 days... so 2 2000 vials are fresh and the other 5000 could be losing potency before the end

OKay that's cool about your avatar. Haha, I just didn't know if you were a guy or a girl either but then read on another thread that you are female. I hope I didn't come across bad. . .I didn't mean to.

Okay so the person I order from (nurse practitioner), she charges $160 for a 25 day supply. Can I get better off the interwebz?

1 of my 5000 iu vials only lasts 21 days so im not sure why yours are lasting longer? I don't mix my other 5000 vial until I run out of the first one.

Cmac - wow.. Maybe your dose is really high? I mixed mine with 10 ml of bac and used the dose of 0.125 iu and I got 40 doses from it.
yeah see dont be offended by this but for some reason people started mixing their hcg with 10mil and you are shorting yourself when you do that.

There is an across the board rule when doing subq hcg injections :

1ml of bacteriostatic water for every 1,000IU of HCG.


I think the 10 mil confusion comes in with the intramuscular injection folks. If your hcg lasts longer than 21 days after mixed it is far too diluted and you arent getting the best benefits you can from it.

Mine is 5000 iu diluted 5ml water and I dose out .15 ( down from .2 due to hunger issues )

One 40 day cycle takes 2 5000 iu bottles for me.
