I.U.'s to CC's???

[DavidZ]

Novarel. I was surprised too. It didn't used to.

Why do they now supply 30 ml of water? Is the purpose to allow you to create more diluted mixtures? If so, can the bottle with the power hold 30 ml of water?

The HCG producer and Water producer are different. I think that they just went with a standard Water vial that was available through a different producer, instead of making a custom one like they used to.

So, are you saying that the powder vial will only hold about 10 ml of water, even though they supply 30 ml of water in the water vial?

Yes.

So I just got my first bottle of hCG today.

My question is: how many CC's = 10ml of water?

It came with a 30ml bottle of water, but only needs to be mixed with 10ml.

Did you get your hCG+bac water from a pharmacy or elsewhere?

 

[androjello]

Got it from Walgreen's

Is the unmixed hCG in an amp or a vial? If it is in a vial, then how big is the vial? You have to add the bac water to the hCG because there is no easy way to add the hCG to the bac water. If the hCG is in a 10mL vial, then you are obviously limited to adding about 10mL of bac water to that vial, which is a good amount to add anyway.

I.U. just stands for one unit, and the units can vary in size. So you have to manually convert. If you have for example 1500 I.U. in 1 ml(1 cc) of HCG, then you know that 500 I.U. = 1/3 cc, 1000 iu = .5cc, and so on. So in this case if you wanted to do 500 iu using a 100 unit / 1cc insulin syrgine, you would need .33 cc meaning 33 iu in a 100 iu syringe.

also Novarel now only good for 30 days

My previous Novarel has been good for 60 days. The new package with the 30 mL mixing solution is only good for 30 days.

My Pharmacist called them up about that and they said they are using a new company for one of the ingredients and are waiting for test results to confirm that 60 days is still okay.

I wonder what ingredient they're talking about. I thought it was just HCG which is obtained from pregnant women's urine.

I have no idea. Maybe it has to do with the new bottle of water.

Thouroughly confused now..
My doc gave me a scrip for somatropin and it came in a 10 cc vial. Doc's instructions said add 5.4 cc of bact-stat water which would give me 27 days using the .50 slin pin. By my calculations, if I were to do 2 i.u.s in the am and then 2 i.u.s in the evening totalling 4 i.u.s every day, I would blow through that 5.4 in no time presuming that there are 5 i.u.s per cc.

If I am correct, do I need to do this everyday or every other day?

One more question. I also have a kit that has 9 or 10 10I.U. vials. How much water should I add into the vial?
