HCG injections

For those of you have those of you who have paid for the injections how much were they for one round and if you took the homopathetic kind did you notice a difference?

The full price from the pharmacy here in British Columbia is about $100. I've done homeopathic, but I have been having better results and less hunger with injections.

WOE: Round 4 HCG RXShots
Start Date: January 9, 2013
$850 for 6 weeks includes weekly B12 shot. Having less hunger as well and feel like even though I lost on the homeopathic pellets and non-homeopathic drops, I could have lost much more on the shots. As long as I'm "suffering" I want it to be worth it.. We'll see. I just completed my first week of injections.

WOE: Rx HCG
Start Date: 2/1/13
From a doctor's office-

office visit- $70.00
HCG from a national chain pharmacy- $160.00
Needles- I think they were around $19.00


After the Rx is filled, I take the HCG back to the dr.'s office and they mix it. I'd estimate there to be about 50 injections worth in the bottle.

I tried homeopathic drops a few years ago for about a day or 2- I found that dosing all throughout the day was not for me. One injection in the morning fits me better. This was about 2 and a half years ago and I think the drops were around $80.00 from the local health food store.

My doctor's office charges $625 for a Round. That price includes B-12 shots, weekly meetings with the doctor and dietician, use of the exercise equipment any time the facility is open, and hCG prepared injections that I pick up once a week.

Roughly $18 for the HCG (23 day round)
Bacteriostatic water to mix it $5
sterile vial to mix $2
Needles (both mixing and injection) roughly $8

Supplies all purchased online are guestimates. I bought my supplies and HCG in bulk as I knew I would be doing multiple rounds, so factor in shipping as well but it ends up with it being less money per round for me.

Hey Torister, I just purchased some real HCG but the site didn't mention how much bacteristatic water to add per vial and I wondered if you could tell me? I have been searching for this answer in vain...

I have always done the oral hhcg spray but since I have been subcutaneously injecting a few other things, I thought I would try the "real" HCG.

Since the website I ordered it from indicated 1 vial was for 2-3 weeks ie 14-20 doses, I should need to add only enough water to make 14-21 doses, correct? I got 4 different name brands all 5,000 or 10,000 UI, I guessed stronger UI would go farther? Do you make 1 vial last 23 days or do you start during load days? Is the dosage an average or does it need to be precise? I am 7 days into P2 so I'm planning to just switch over...

Thank you for any answers anyone can give!!

The 10,000 IU is ALOT and will most likely lose its potency before you use it all. It would be good for two people to do a round tho, so if you have someone to share it with that would work or if you already have it just know that half of it will be no good towards the end of a long round. I typically get the 5000 IU and mix it. I have my breakdown for mixing at home....I can post it tonight if you like.

You can freeze your injections and wrap them in foil. I do and they keep their potency for a very long time, at least a few months I found. You just have to leave a little bit of space for expansion of the liquid and warm under your arm pit for maybe a minute or less and push the syringe up till you get the air out and then inject. That way you won't waste the 10,000.00 you bought. I mixed a 2000 iu with 8 ML of water and got about 14 shots of 150 iu. I'm thinking it depends on your dosing too as to how many shots you'll get.

That is a great idea.

Yes any info would be great torister, and thank you adelinesdream for the freezing info, I think most of them are 10,000 IU so you just saved me a bundle!

I found a video link in the site I bought it from that said 5 ml of HW per 5,000 so do I double it for 10,000 IU? Also why so much, with the melanotan I inject it's only 1ml of HW per vial(1/5 full of powder) then .05 per dose so 1 full vial is 20 doses, which would be perfect for 20 days. Same with the HGH and the vials look the same size as the HCG.

I just wonder why so much, don't you need just enough to liquify the powder or does it need extra buffering? I realize you guys may not know the answer, I'll ask my bodybuilder friend what he thinks, he's the one that turned me on to HGH and extreme peptides so he may know about the HCG also... will report back!

Going to the doctor today. The nurse told me the first visit is $150-170 for one month of shots that are ready and you take home to do yourself. Must be kept in fridge. It is cheaper if you choose not to do appetite suppressants, which I am not. I think $20 cheaper. After that, it's $110 a month for 30 days a shot, extra if you want a B-12 shot. I think $10 extra for that.

My mixing instructions are the same as those you found on your video link, Tamra, 5ml of bacteriostatic water per 5,000. That gives you 40 doses at 125iu per dose.

I was told that if you mix it with more water, lets say you double it to 10ml, then you would need to fill each needle to 250iu per dose in order to receive the same amount of HCG since that is what counts, not the water.

If you were to reduce the water, lets say to 1 ml, then each injection would only contain 25iu in order to receive the same amount of actual HCG. This dose is very difficult to actually draw and inject with accuracy since it is so small.

The amount of water you use with 10,000 iu doesn't matter as long as you keep the ratio the same. Just double the 5ml to 10ml of water and you should be good to go. If you dose higher than 125iu then naturally you will receive less doses per vial. 125iu for example per 10,000 and 10 ml bacteriostatic water, should give you 80 days. 250iu will give you 40 days of shots.

Make sure you only take the recommended dosage per day since higher doses doesn't necessarily mean better results.

More is definitely NOT better with HCG. It in fact is almost always the opposite.

I use the method that a poster on another board uses and it is sooo easy to tweak your dosage as it has more bac stat water and I have had much success with this way.

I use Ovidac 5000 most of the time, so I will show that first.

Add 1cc of bac water to the HCG. Add this to 19 cc bac water that you have put into a sealed sterile glass bottle.

For 10,000 add 1 cc of bac water to the HCG. Add this to 39 cc bac water that you have put in a sealed sterile glass bottle.

For 2000 add 1 cc of bac water to the HCG. Add this to 7cc bac water that you have put in a sealed sterile glass bottle.

Daily dose is the same no matter what the size vial you started with. My first round I started with 175 iu and adjusted from there. I find with the way that this is mixed it is easy to adjust to your perfect dose.

.5cc =125iu HCG
.6cc =150iu HCG
.7cc =175iu HCG
.8cc =200iu HCG

For example, in my current round, I adjusted down 1 line under .6cc and that was perfect. No hunger whatsoever! You should not be taking an appetite suppressant with HCG. If you do, you will not know if you are at the right dose for you.

Hope this makes sense!!

Thank you so much for your valuable information, it is nice to have clarity and confirmation!! I have had trouble finding sterile jars and bacteriostatic water here in Victoria, BC and finally found it online much easier!

I was hoping to start the rx HCG when my hHCG spray (my slim fix) runs out (soon) but it turns out it is coming from India, left 12 days ago and still enroute, site said 21 days I see now. I wonder if I run out of my hHCG but stick to the diet, how long I will last, lol.

I am a little leery of pharmaceuticals from Asia or India, is this the norm?? It is the same brand (supposedly) as ones mentioned here-- Ovidac, Fertigyn, Sifasi.. oh well the website is American and the owner claims it's pharmaceutical grade and has gone to a lot of effort with his site so it's not a fly by night operation... good thing I'm trusting!
