Question on storage of hcg. In looking at your protocol I am wondering about the shelf life/storage. It seems that the most common amount of hcg is 10,000iu per vial. If your protocol is 250iu every 3 days (approx 500 per week) would that be a 20 week supply in one vial? Will it store well at that length once mixed and refrigerated?

(I started a TD, 2.5mg daily, yesterday but didn't think to ask my D.O. about hcg. Will speak with her on my next appointment)

A. 250-500 2X's week (HRT, the 2 days before shot)
B. HCG reconstituted is good for max 60 days in fridge.
Been there done that!
 
So does it significantly deterioate, change color, smell ....

or is it the manufacturers determination.

what happens or doesn't happen if it goes beyond tht window?

It spoils like the fragile chemical it is. Same for HGH.Toss it out.

It starts to get cloudy when it spoils. It should be refrigerated.
 
So would a person try to find smaller vials if on the smaller usage protocol so that you don't have spoilage?

I've heard of 5,000 and even 1,000 IU vials, but haven't been able to find them. You probably will have waste. The Walgreens in my neighborhood sells 10,000 IUs for $53. Over a two month period that's not too bad.
 
I use mine well past the 60 day window and have been for years. My Dr. has more then one guy that uses it past 60 days. The manufacturer guarantees potency till the expiration date. Then at some time past that date it starts to lose potency.
 
I use Novarel it use to be good for 60 days but they changed lab that make it so now it is only good for 30 days. When I do a shot I get a feeling of well being after about 3 weeks I up my does because it does not do this any more. After 28 days I pitch it it does nothing. Some guys say if you get some bacterialstatic water and use this to mix. It will last longer I get 6 box's for $5 so I just pitch it.

Well I started on AddroDerm 2.5 mg yesterday so i will be monitoring my changes - wellness, libido, plumpness etc. I know this is a low dosage but my D.O. has me on a number of other supplements and a couple of meds to offset a low cortisol level (thyroids are actually a little high). I am reovering from an angioplasty/stent back in Dec. and may be going in for a followup angiogram for some unresolved angina. On top of all that she ran all the tests I brought up and I need to boost my Iron & Vit D levels, I have or have been exposed to West Nile Virus and Epstein Bar Syndrome. No wonder I've felt so wiped out for the last 6 - 7 months, I thought it was just low Test (LabCorp test range: my Total Test was 375 and Free Test was 12).

It will be interesting to see what the results of all the changes I have to make and how long it takes before I notice a positive improvement.

I am looking primarily at 4 things:
Libido

Energy levels - especially in the morning

Increases in strength levels/muscle tone & size (with a corresponding cahnge in body comp)

Cardio endurance

Anything I left out that is noticeable especially inb the early stages of treatment?
 
I was using it till it was basically empty. Last time I got a new script I experienced the pain in my balls that you get when they are coming back from atrophy. So I asked my doc and the pharmacy about using hcg past the 30 days. Both were clueless, so I am going to see if my pharmacy can get 5000 IU kits and I will get a new script more often. 2 weeks on a new bottle and I feel better, so I know the old stuff was bad.
