    HCG Sodium Chloride or Bact water? Mixing question

    I didn't know that Nelson. Thanks for he input and may I say that this site is superb. A real wealth of information and help that I would be lost without! There are similar sites like this but non where you get such support. Is that when mixed with the sodium chloride too? Or just bact water...

    HCG Sodium Chloride or Bact water? Mixing question

    Wow! Great link. Thank you so much. Do you know if your friend uses Pregnyl? It seems that this is the only thing available in the UK? unless he gets it from the internet that is! The pharmacy rang the manufacturer of pregnyl and asked whether it could be mixed with bacteriostatic water and...

    HCG Sodium Chloride or Bact water? Mixing question

    New update. Having tried my hardest it seems almost impossible to find the bacteriostatic water. The pharmacy even rang up the manufacturer regarding the pregnyl and they say it's not advised. I know they want to sell more of their meds! I don't feel comfortable storing the mixed syringes with...

    HCG Sodium Chloride or Bact water? Mixing question

    Update: Pharmacy says the only bacteriostatic water she can find is 100 vials for 900 pounds!!? Still would need a prescription for it. Obviously not bothering with that!

    HCG Sodium Chloride or Bact water? Mixing question

    Okay so this morning I have been on the phone to several pharmacies. NO ONE, I repeat no one has ever heard of Bacteriostatic water! Its not prescribed as an NHS medication and you can't seem to get it privately. Is it called something else in the UK? How difficult can it be? Seriously! I...

    HCG Sodium Chloride or Bact water? Mixing question

    Wow, great video. Thanks for taking the time to post it. Explains it a little more! My doc said it comes in either 1500iu or 5000iu. Wish I had gotten the 5000iu now. Can't find much in how to do it for the 1500iu.

    HCG Sodium Chloride or Bact water? Mixing question

    Great advice. not sure if anyone can clarify this but if I get hold of the back water, will that dissolve the HCG powder sufficiently or do I still need to mix the sodium chloride?

    HCG Sodium Chloride or Bact water? Mixing question

    This site has a wealth of knowledge on it and it's been so useful however I can't seem to find much on my situation. Maybe I'm just rubbish at using the search button. I live in the U.K. and it's prescribed a bit differently to the states. It comes labelled as pregnyl 1500iu. I want to start...

    Hcg monotherapy, age 26. Injection questions

    Yes it was unremarkable. I had the MRI initially because I had raised prolactin. Its not a tumor, it seems to fluctuate. Ive read that this is also a symptom of head trauma. To be honest trying to get help in the UK for anything hormonally is an absolute sham. Trying to get a prescription for...

    Hcg monotherapy, age 26. Injection questions

    Some great advice there! Ive worked outside most my life and never really been doing a lot of indoors work where I would necessarily be exposed to chemicals. I was assaulted 4 years ago, smashed round the head with a bottle, that's when all this started really. The thing is I didn't even do...

    Hcg monotherapy, age 26. Injection questions

    Ive spoken to my Doc about everything and I just said Im a little anxious about going on full blown trt so we both felt HCG was a good starting point. Over the span of being ill ive had every test imaginable. Ive had MRIs and stimulation tests. Been down the whole adrenal thyroid thing. Thyroid...

At the moment, im sexually dead, no libido, no energy, soft testicles from time to time, uncomfortable penis, feels like no blood flow, muscle wasteage, weak, poor sleep (wake up feeling exhausted and achey). Ive been...

    Hcg monotherapy, age 26. Injection questions

    I just wanted to start small and increase if necessary. I didnt want to raise E2 too quickly. What would you say was a recommended starting dose? The HCG in the UK seems to usually be "Pregnyl". I have the smallest dose which is 1500iu. It comes with two ampoules, one with the bact water and...

    Thanks for the support! Could you tell me the length of the needles? or the exact sizing rather than just the gauge. It would be a massive help.

    Hcg monotherapy, age 26. Injection questions

    reference ranges: Total testosterone: 9-30 nmol/l Free Test: 225-714 pmol/l E2: 98> No upper range SHBG: 16-50 nmol/l Thanks for your advice. I just took a look at the needles. Look a little bit overkill. Going to try and find some higher gauge!

    After my last blood results of Total Testosterone: 14 nmol/l Free Test : 217 pmol/l (225-714) E2: 114 nmol/l SHBG: 46 Nmol/l I have decided to embark on a trial of HCG. My doc first recommended Sustanon 250 roughly around every week to ten days to begin with. After much thought and...

    Which to replace Growth Hormone or Testosterone

    I have managed to find a clinic in the uk who specialise in TRT and have prescribed me 250 sustanon every 10days but I have not taken it yet as I had this growth hormone stimulation test booked through my endocrinologist. The clinic is called the Ledger Clinic based in Doncaster. I know my...

    Which to replace Growth Hormone or Testosterone

    My last Total T was 537 but fluctuates, it's usually lower. But my free t and e2 are completely in the toilet. I am not sure whether it was saw palmetto or injuries occurring after a head injury but I am sure saw palmetto probably didn't help. i have had Dht tested twice. When I first got ill...

    Which to replace Growth Hormone or Testosterone

    I had a growth hormone stimulation test a few weeks ago and I am waiting on the results. I have low free T and low e2 with a high Shbg for my age with fluctuating prolactin levels going high and low. My question is, if I am growth hormone deficient, which would be treated first? Will...

    Low E2 but high SHBG?

    Thanks for your quick reply coastwatcher. I haven't started TRT yet as I was waiting to complete a growth hormone stimulation test my endo had ordered for me to have. I have yet to receive the results as I only had it last week. I am trying to really exhaust all possibilities before starting...

    26 year old, Years of ill health. TRT OR HCG?

    I've found a well qualified Dr and believe me its taken some time! I am from the UK and the standard of knowledge in male TRT here is completely disgusting. I have seen well over 15 Drs all privately and have spent thousands on this. My lifes savings. This Doc seems to have the know how as he...

    26 year old, Years of ill health. TRT OR HCG?

    I have numerous reservations with Clomid as I have heard it made a lot of ex propecia guys worse. I have never touched propecia but I am not sure if I am in this mess because of saw palmetto. The eye floaters etc makes me a bit fearful. I spoke to my hormone Dr regarding this and he agreed that...

    26 year old, Years of ill health. TRT OR HCG?

    Thanks, I am hoping to get on HCG quickly mainly for my testicles sake. I have had so many tests done, trying to rule out everything. I had a random GH blood draw and it was extremely low hence the test. I have a lot of symptoms of a GH deficiency so I asked the endo to rule it out. Ive heard...
