I've been on 100mg/week TRT for 6 weeks now and my doc just prescribed HCG. He wants me on 50mg twice per week intramuscular. I was under the impression that HCG should be injected subQ. I asked the compounding pharmacist about this, and he said that this particular doctor used to prescribe HCG subQ but has lately started prescribing HCG IM.
I asked the doc if I would be on HCG for as long as I was on TRT, and he said that we would look at cycling it after a couple of months based on blood work.
Also, the pharmacist said that he would have to dilute the powder (concentrated powder was at 10,000iu) in hydrostatic water a couple of times to end up with a concentration of 250mg/ml in a 10ml vial. Thats 2500mg total which is enough for 25 weeks at 50mg twice per week. (.2ml=50mg) He said that the mixture would be good for 6 months and that I might have to throw away some of the mixture before expiration. I don't want to waste any of this stuff.
My main questions are:
Should I inject subQ or IM?
What kind of cycles do you guys use for HCG?
Can I increase the dosage and if so, what dosage should I use?
Are there any pharmacy chains like Walgreens/RiteAid that carry HCG?
Can anyone help with the conversion of mg/ml to iu?
