[QUOTE="jacb, post: 230615, member: 18836"] The values in IU terms for [URL='https://youtu.be/XjTHPEefDJ8']Ovitrelle 250 Micrograms (mcg) 0.5 mL Pre-filled Syringe[/URL] seem to be very variable in the thread above … which value is correct? Ovitrelle is recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (rHCG) not urinary derived hCG and some users might prefer that in order to avoid any possible contaminants. A study was done on exactly that issue [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6593423/']LINK[/URL] and it was found that “urinary‐derived batches have high presence of contaminant proteins beside the active substance. The relative amount of contaminant proteins and hCG differs strongly between different batches”. If KeithWillse is correct and 250mcg of Ovitrelle is equivalent to 6,500 IU then for those of us taking 500 IU of hCG twice a week this might be an option. Since it would seem to avoid possible contaminant proteins and offer a more consistent/standardised dose of HCG. If 250mcg = 6,500 IU then 500 IU would equate to approximately 19mcg … I doubt that the quantity selector knob on the pre-filled syringe device would let you select that amount …. Does anyone know if this would be possible? Is it possible to buy recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (rHCG) in powder form (as per pregnyl etc)? [/QUOTE]
