Thanks Barb, everyone's willingness to always be helpful makes this a place I feel comfortable asking as well as offering the info I've amassed as well...
Quick question, on short cycles (23 day rounds) do you skip a day as in the longer rounds? I've only ever did the long round but in order for me to be guilt free somewhat on my 40th b-day trip to Hawaii in February a short cycle is in order for me to be off of maintenance in time for same. Thanks
cclark550 - If you need more help knowing where to order the hcg let us know. If you have a lot to loose then your best bet is to order from All Day Chemist (ADC), you would do best to order all you need at once since the shipping costs are a $25 flat rate. ADC is a company in India. If you prefer to give it a try before buying a bunch then you could buy from those others suggested but they cost more. If you need the other supplies and don't have a source we can give you the websites most of us order from.
Carmellady - you do not need to skip an injection on the 23 day round but you can. Since you will have 25 injections you could always just go 25 days then do your 72 hours on the vlcd or you could stop at the 23 injections. If you skip a day per week you could go as far as 28 days of injections. The only problem is you may run into some hunger issues as some people feel that the hcg begins to loose potency.
The directions come with a second sheet- that's different...and makes it confusing. I have already mixed the wrong amount- and took a dosage out of that- which was the wrong amount. The figure I was looking for 12.5, so I need to figure out a fix.
I have a question about my syringes. The nurse at the clinic I went to gave me some that are 3/10 cc, and it goes from 0 to 30 units. I have a vile of 5000 units of HCG, and she told me to inject 5 ml of the bac. water, and fill the syringe to the 15 unit mark. She didn't explain any of this to me, I'm just doing it to follow her directions. But now I am confused, and I don't really understand what dose I am taking. I want to do another round in 2 months and I want to be able to order online this time, but should I order 2 2000 viles so I can mix two batches? I don't quite understand about how to mix two different batches if I only have one vile of the HCG. I wish the nurse would have explained more of this to me because now I feel stupid!! If I order my kit and get different syringes that hold a different amount, I will be totally lost as to how much I need to use, as well as how to mix two different batches so it doesn't lose potency (which mine is starting to do I think, I'm starting to be hungry.. ) please talk to me like I'm 10 lol This stuff has me sooo confused. I try to read all the other mixing comments that everyone leaves but it might as well be written in german because I have no idea what any of it means :(
jilly- if you want to order on your own, i'd recommend ordering vials of 2000. you need 3 vials for a short round (23 to 30 days), 4 for a long round (40 days), since each vial lasts 10 days if you're taking 200 units. if you're taking less than that, they'll last longer. if you take 150 units a vial will last for 13.3 days (so you'd need 2 vials for a short round); if you're using 175 units each vial will last 11.4 days. Since the hcg is cheap and the shipping is not, many people buy a little extra in case they screw up the mixing or feel like they have a bad batch.
i'd also recommend buying syringes that are 1 cc, 28 or 29 gauge, 1/2" long. if you go to the "newcomer information" threads, the instructions are all there. you'll need one vial of bact water for each round that you do, and a 10 ML mixing vial for each time you mix (and a new mixing needle).
