Need help understanding Hcg strength

[DLMCBBB]

ok...so what does that equal with one of these?


I am loking at 30 gauge insuline needles.
On the package it says
1/2cc for 50 units or less
1/2"(12.7 mm) lenght needle
30 gauge needle
The syringe is marked 10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50

If your in the same situation as kincaiddave 10,000IU of powder in one vial and 4mL of bacteriostatic water in another vial:

Then 50IU on your 30 guage pin is 500iu of hCG, 25IU would be 250iu respectively.

Hello
I am trying to understand the strength and dosing of Hcg.We use insulin syringes which are marked in IU(international units) for insulin.When using for Hcg there is different strengths,i use 3500iu Hcg(3500iu per so many ml?) Dr john , and others have 10,000iu Hcg.I know the current protocal for injecting,250iu the two days before inj. test.So how much is 250iu Hcg3500iu in a 1ml insulin syringe?

If one has a 10,000 IU vial of HCG, and one adds 10 cc of bacteriostatic water, then one will get 1,000 IU per 1 ml solution. The insulin syringes can be marked for 100 U per 1 ml syringe.

Getting 250 IU then would require using a volume of 0.25 ml or 25 U.

If one has a 3500 IU vial of HCG, then adding 3.5 cc of bacteriostatic water will result in 1,000 IU per 1 ml. The math to get 250 IU will then be the same.

Actually he had 3500 iu in a vial with 4mL of water. We worked out the math for him.

I want to really thank every one that has posted,i understand how things work a lot better now.I am no great mathmatician but the explanations let me see how things are computed.After only a couple of weeks now i am starting to feel better,i am also trying the Test. injs with the smaller syringes EOD instead of once weekly, with the lower Hcg two days a week,so far after about a week things are fine , it will probably take a couple more weeks to see the overall effects.

That's great to hear. We need more success stories. I think that too often when someone has a success story they are off to other things. Keep us posted if you will.

OK....another stupid question.

So how much does 10,000 IU vial of HCG compute to in in ml or U's?

 

[kincaiddave]

When you receive the HCG it is a powder and you mix it with a volume of water. When you compute the IUs to ml it is the IUs of the powder that you receive equals the volume of water that you mix in. If your HCG is 10,000 IUs and you mix 10ml of water with it, then 10,000 IU equals 10ml.
