Will it say on the syringe the levels? The vial has 10,000IU of drug. You'll be adding 10ml of water. So after you're done you'll have 10ml of drug @ 1,000IU/ml. 10,000IU/10ml = 1,000IU/ml. So you'll draw up and inject 1 ml of drug solution for your dose. You could reconstitute the drug using less water if you are confidant that you can calculate the dose properly. I'd use the whole 10ml till you know what you are doing and till you and your doc are through adjusting your dose. > > Never given myself a shot before , so just looking for some help, > thanks a lot for any advise! > You should have been given better instructions. I stole the following brief passage from a Pregnyl site. Directions for Reconstitution Two-vial package: Withdraw sterile air from lyophilized vial and inject into diluent vial. Remove 1–10 mL from diluent and add to lyophilized vial; agitate gently until powder is completely dissolved in solution. So you'll remove the plastic caps from the tops of the vials exposing the rubber septa that seals the vials. You'll swab the tops with alcohol. You'll insert your needle into the powder vial and withdraw sterile air by pulling the plunger out of the syringe. Then withdraw the syringe from the powder vial and insert it into the water vial. Inject the sterile air into the water vial. Then you'll withdraw an amount of water equal to the amount of air you just injected. Remove the syringe w/water from the water vial and inject into the powder vial. Since you likely don't have a 10ml syringe, you won't be able to move all the water at once. You'll need to repeat the process till you get the 10ml of water moved. Once you've moved all the water, then you can draw up your dose (1ml of 1,000IU/ml) and administer your injection. Keep asking us questions till you understand everything. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hi Jake, It seems incredible that your doctor did not instruct you in the use of this injectible while you were in his office. Also I would hope that you are being sent syringes plural, or at the very least multiple disposable needles. If not I strongly suggest you purchase them on your own. The bacteriostatic water is used to hydrate the dry HGC. Holding the vial of liquid upside down, insert the needle through the rubber top and pull all the contents out with the syringe. (Be sure only the very tip of the needle is in the vial to get ALL the contents out.) Then pierce the rubber top of the (right side up) vial containing the dry HGC with the needle and inject the liquid. Some compounds require shaking to mix while others specify not to. (The tops of both vials likely have a thin metal covering that you must pull off to expose the permeable rubber top.) These instructions *should* be on the labels but sometimes they are on a package insert. ----I'm taking 1000 UI's twice a week. How do I know how much 1,000 IU's are? Will it say on the syringe the levels?--- It should. One would hope the syringe being sent to you has calibrations on it. Remember it should equal a tenth of the amount in the (mixed) vial and if this preportion doesn't jive with the calibration on the syringe, ask before injecting. ---Never given myself a shot before , so just looking for some help, thanks a lot for any advise!---- Try to avoid getting air into the syringe and after inserting the needle pull back on the syringe to be sure the tip of the needle is not in a blood vessel; if blood draws back into the syringe, pull out the needle and reinject in a different spot and repeat. I hope this helps, but really it is better to watch a professional perform this procedure the first time, and to oversee your first attempt as well.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 (I have to say this)... Jesus H. Christ!!!! Jake!! You mean to tell me that your doctor didn't have a nurse or s/he didn't show you how to give yourself shots LET ALONE HOW TO MIX YOUR INJECTIONS?????????? I'm APPALLED, STUNNED, FULL OF DISUGT AND DISBELIEF in the medical profession (again) that they would do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What was s/he (your doc) thinking?? Obviously they weren't! MAN! I'd be so freakin' mad that I'd march into the clinic and DEMAND TO SEE my doc and DEMAND to have the doc or the nurse at least show me how to do it at least for the FIRST freakin' time!!!! There aren't enough adjectives in the english language to define how I'm feeling right now. Those are some heavy instructions Brad!!!! I read them twice and know that if I had to do them, I'd probably f*#k up big time! I'm no idiot, I've been educated through college, this is so unreal! Good Luck and be VERY CAREFUL JAKE!

He'll use a syringe to move the water out of one vial and into the other. After you've done it once, no problem. There is one other thing. He didn't mention the type of syringe. Insulin syringes are usually 1cc (1ml) divided into 100 units. The " units " are for insulin and not the same size as hcg units. So pay attention to the 1cc or 1ml markings. If he uses 10ml of water to reconstitute, his dose will be 1cc (1ml) or " 100 " on an insulin syringe. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it and all seemed well. It almost seemed instinctive. I've never done it before but as soon as I started turning the vial upside down and injecting the air/pulling out the liquid it all came normal because of all the damn movies I've seen where they'd do that exact thing and then tap the needle, etc. I'm glad I called in and asked another question, the medicine said Intramuscular only, but the instructions I got were for Subcutaneous. I called the office nurse and she said " No , no dont do intramuscular " .. " Bu the medication says only intramuscular " " Yeah but subQ ONLY. " .. " Oh okay.. " Glad I Found that out or I might have just jammed it in deep instead of just in the skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the instructions on here and the instructions that came with it and I didn't have any problems I don't think. (Took it 5 hours ago, don't notice any effect yet, didn't expect one yet though of course haha). I think my doctor thought I knew how to give myself a shot considering I had knowledge of HCG before hand and was requesting it, and I used to be big on weightlifting and was a lot larger. I " m guessing he just assumes I took steroids or something by what I told him and thought I've done it a thousand times before or something. Anyways I figured it out though.

J/k, haha thanksf or the concern, I think I figured it out from watching enough movies where the villains are talking about their sinister plans while they prepare to inject some needle into the restrained hero.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 > > Jake what size needle are you using I use a 27g 1ml x 1/2 " lg. needle. I don't shoot in my belly I don't feel it when I do. After I do my shot I get a feeling of well being lasting most of the day. So I shoot into my thigh and feel using a short needle like this that it is subQ. You said your doing 1000 IU's 3 x's a week I find this to be way to much are you using the HCG to bring up your T levels or for fertility. I do both Testosterone and HCG. Go to www.allthingsmale.com and read TRT: A Recipe for Success and the HCG Update. A little HCG goes a long way I know men taking it to keep there T levels up and do 60 to 100 IU's a day. If you do to much it will Desensitize your Testis meaning you will become Primary your Testis will not work anymore. > http://jcem.endojournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/90/5/2595 > Phil > Hey Phil! I use 29 Gauge x 1/2 " Length insulin syringes. I just did my first shot in my leg, so far I don't know if I notice a difference. I am suppose to do 1,000 IU's TWICE a week, not three times. I don't use Testosterone because while I was using Testosterone (the shots or the injections) i got way too fatigued, I believe because my estradiol was getting too high. It was destroying my energy. I am also taking a thyroid pill which I think helped a little, but I notice more energy gain returned after I stopped the testosterone. So now I'm just trying HCG.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Hey Jake, Sorry about the waste of $$$ and worse yet, the waste of med! As soon as you see that Doctor of yours next time, punch his lights out for me! I've had it up to about 3 feet above my head with the stupidity of the " practicing medicine league " . You see now why they call it " PRACTICING? " I bet the doc thought the nurse would tell you everything and the nurse thought the doc told you everything and so looky what happened? Worse yet, you could be lying on the floor in some sort of shock with no way to get help. Where in the world did you inject this stuff? A phone call is ALL it would have taken to correct EVERYTHING. After 9+ years of dealing with medical crap. I've had it. They made me better and now I'm staying the hell away from them as much as possible. i don't know what I'd do if I were you, but I know I would have broken SOMETHING by now! (probably would have taken the vial out and slammed the damn thing on the cement driveway! LOL!) Call the Doc if it isn't too late of the hospital to find out what, if anything, you can do to get it replaced for less or what. But talk to a stinkin' pro! Or at least a reasonable facsimilie of one. Aloha, Wayne > > > > Then I would try doing them everyday works much better try doing 250 > IU's everyday. > > Sorry no one said to put it in the frig.

Considering it lasts up to 60 days in a refrigerator, it seems hard to believe that a day in 60 degree weather would destroy it? I donno, I'll call my doctor on monday for the tie breaker vote. I really don't want to have to throw this stuff away considering it's new, cost me like 60 bucks, and I'd have to wait AGAIN for more. Anyways I have another question again. How long until the HCG works? If it's good Imean, how long til you start noticing it's full benefits? I took the shot on THursday minutes after mixing it, and it's friday night and it hasn't done anything yet, if anything my libido is a tad lower.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 > > Hi Jake, > > My Novarel is only good for 30 days you must have the APP brand I had no luck with this brand. But heard later on that they had a problem with it and fixed it. After doing some reading I stll can't say if it is good. Like you said call and find out hell call the people that make it. I started doing 500 IU's 3 x's a week and after my 15th shot got tested and my levels were way up. So yes it takes time but after my first shot I had a feeling of well being. Yet when I was given the APP brand I did not get this feeling. You can get Novarel at this site. Make sure you tell them you need only Novarel. > IVPcare Pharmacy > Really? Thanks. Well after my first shot I don't have a feeling of well being. I have mroe fatigue again. I got fatigued when I was given testosterone, now I am getting fatigued for taking only HCG. I'm thinking it's my estradiol(only time it was tested it was 38, and that was a week after I stopped all HRT). I'm thinking my doctor may be ignoring this, and this is the cause of my fatigue. Since before HRT , I never had energy problems during the day, only no libido. Now I have no libido, and hardly any energy in the day. My energy was coming back about 85% af ter I stopped testosterone..now it's going back down since I started HCG it seems... I'll know for sure in a week.

All I know is I started getting worried because I'm feeling less energy again once starting HCG. I had horrible fatigue while on testim patches and then testosterone injections that disappeared once I stopped. Just worried this is doing the same, whether this is a good fatigue or a bad fatigue like before I don't know. It's not interrupted sleep. Although I woke up this morning and I feel about 80%(which is good considering recently I guess)..didn't take me 2 hours of dragging around the house to finally open my eyes.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 > > What were your T levels and E2 previously when you were fatigued? Maybe your levels we not right for you. You can't always go by a reference range. You have to go by how you feel. For example, I do better on 60 mg of depo-T than I do on 100 mg every 7 days. > > Arkansas My E2 was 38(Normal said was 20-40), Free T was 12 (it lists normal as 11-60), and my total T was 500. This was a week after I stopped all testosterone therapy. So I'm guessing while I was on Testosterone therapy my Estradiol was even higher. The reference range says I'm normal, because I just barely have enough free T to say I'm normal, and I just barely am within the range of Estradiol to say I'm normal. those numbers aren't normal for ME.

To me this is not a bad thing just take Arimidex to keep it down. For me high E2 is a small price to pay to feel this good on HCG. > Phil Arimidex? Do I need a prescription for that? Based on my reaction to testosterone (making me more fatigued even though I still need a little, and my energy coming back as soon as I stop taking testosterone), I really would love some Arimidex. The doctor has to prescribe it though doesn't he? My Estradiol is around 38-45, I'm sure. I'd like to get it in a more average range around 20-30 max. I may have to yank my doctors arm though.

I'll look into Indolplex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Well my doctor prescribed progesterone capsules. I have been taking them for months now and it has controlled my estrogen levels.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I have to disagree due to my real life experience. Best I have ever felt and in the best shape of my life. I dont take the progesterone everyday. I kind of can feel when I need to pop a pill, I have become very in tune with my body now :-) I aslo sometimes just poke a hole in the gel capsule and rub it on my skin. > > > > > > jake the best range for TT anf FT is in the upper 1/3 of your labs > > range.
