HCG dose help

[Bcuzimbatman]

Coming up on week 5 of my Test E cycle and am going to start administering HCG sub q injections. I purchased slin pins for shots in the stomach but am having a hard time figuring out where to pull to. I've used a calculator to determine that on a regular needle I would pull back to .5ml to achieve the goal of 250iu but my slin pins show units instead of ML so I have no idea how to convert them. Anyone have any experience with this?

0.5 mL on the slin pins would be 50 units.

Are you sure you did your math right? Either you did your math wrong or you used way too much bac water. How many IU's is your vial and how much bac water did you use? 0.1 mL of bac water per 250 IU of hCG would have sufficed.

5000mcg should make 5cc If I am correct and 25 in a slin pin would be 250iu...

Well the vial with HCG powder is 5000 and the water is 10ml. When I mix the calc I used shows a .5ml pull

Haven't mixed yet so if that math is correct for a 5000 bottle of HCG I only need 2ml of water?

or you could use 5ml of bac water when you mix and you would only have to draw 25 in a slin to get your 250iu

Yes, that's correct. You can use more if you want, but it's completely unnecessary.

Well then I will use this

Why would you want to inject 250% more bacteriostatic water than is 'necessary'? I'd also suggest 2ml of bac water. 1/10th of a 1ml slin pin gets you 250iu.
