The clinic gave me a vial of 5000iu hcg and told me to take 17 1/2cc's a day in the thigh. Can't think off the top of my head how many cc's the needle holds...50 maybe??
How on earth would I figure out how many iu's a day that is???? -

You would need to know how much water they mixed it with. Can you call and ask? Is your needle long or short? -
If there is only 17 doses in the vial that would be a very high dose.

Asked the clinic about the dosage and they're telling me it's 150-160 iu...glad they're so exact! ;o)
Anyways, what has me interested now is that all the posts that I read about mixing are different than the instructions my pharmacy gave me...5000iu vial of hcg mixed with only 5ml of bact water (you can see on the instruction card where they were printed as 15ml of water but marked out and manually changed to 5ml for whatever reason). will last me the first 3 weeks. I was wrong on the needle...it's not cc's it's units...it's an insulin syringe with a 1/2 inch needle, in the thigh.
Asked the clinic about hunger and he's telling me my questions were normal...I'm hungry but not starving but, I didn't have ANY hunger at all for the 1st week, in fact, my 2nd load day was miserable because I was so full just by eating my normal daily amount of food. I was more interested in why that might change to week 2 and beyond than whether or not my questions were "normal" LOL -

that's a pretty low dose which might account for your hunger. When you say you're hungry, are you feeling hunger nearly all the time or just at meal times? Do you eat and then wish you had more because you're still hungry? Hunger is something that has to be fixed because it means your hypothalamus isnt resting which means you are losing the wrong kind of fat which means you are more likely to regain it. So it's not a case of oh I'll just deal with being hungry. -
I'm fine until around 10:30ish then I'll eat a piece of fruit. lunch at noon and then like today, I'm still hungry and have already eaten my 2nd fruit. nothing left but dinner when I get home. I don't eat the breadsticks unless I'm desperate. Almost like once I start eating, it's all over from there! I'm on VLCD14

I don't understand why they would tell you to take 17 doses. There would be 33 doses if it was 150iu per dose.
Yea it's real nice that they are so accurate in their dosing! -
17? this is supposed to last me the 23 days. Oh I see! I typed 17 1/2cc's and meant 17 1/2 units...not 17 1/2 cc doses! sorry1!!!

Grammy1952 I need your help on this too!!! This is my R1P2D5 (so my 3rd VLCD day) and I am going crazy with hunger! I am also exhausted, shakey, and nauseous (I actually "lost" my breakfast on Monday). The only thing that seems to help is an Epsom Salt bath. I was thinking of increasing my dose, but do not even know how much I am taking! I ordered from an internet company and and I am doing SQ injections in the tummy. Here is what it said to do (this is for a 43 day cycle): inject 10ml of the bariostatic water into the 10,000iu HCG powder. I am injecting .2cc. Can you help me? :confused:

That seems to be 200 iu which is pretty standard, hon. Did you load really well? If you did, try putting it in your thigh tomorrow for a little better absorption. If that doesn't work, we'll try adjusting your dose.
