Accidently Frozen HCG. Is it still good?

[longrob]

After I received my HCG I put it into the freezer. About an hour later I read on the little info sheet that came with it, "Do Not Freeze", so I took it out.
I wouldn't think such a short time in the freezer would hurt freeze-dried powder, and maybe they were concerned about freezing the sodium chloride that came with it. I have used 250 iu twice a week for 8 weeks, but I don't feel that it's working.
I wonder if anyone knows, is the HCG good or did I destroy it?

A lot of guys freeze their pre-loaded HCG syringes. I've never had a problem doing so myself.

Freezing is fine.

I have seen posts from a bunch of people on different forums that they freeze their HCG with no issues. I haven't seen anyone post that they tried freezing it and it didn't work.

Also, a guy on another forum posted that he called a rep. from Novarel and they confirmed that freezing isn't a problem. It sounds like multiple freeze/thaw cycles would be an issue but freezing once is fine.

I wouldn't feel anything at that dosage either.

Thanks everyone and colkurtz,
What dosage would you recommend for testicular maintenance? I am trying to restore some lost size due to T cyp hpta shutdown for about 8 months, but haven't noticed any increase yet. Thanks for any help.

I use straight HCG, but when I included testosterone 500 IUs twice per week did the trick for me. Of course everyone is different. You have to see how it makes you feel and monitor E2.

I am on Test creme and taking 250 IUs of HCG twice per week and feel nothing from the HCG. Should I? Or is it just to maintain testicular function?

If I should "feel something" any suggestions on what to increase it to? I am 43 with T around 800 scale 250-1000.

250 iu's minimum twice a week. I like 500 2x/week. Freezing it is fine...fridge is better IMO.
