Are you on HCG mono or testosterone + HCG? If on testosterone + HCG and you don’t want to take the HCG with you just skip it for 10 days. HCG half life is very short. There is no point in trying to front loading it. And a big shot of HCG can actually create you so short term issues.Inject daily, but going on a trip for ten days. Can I take in advance?

YOu can skip it without having an appreciable impact on your T therapy. I think could only be an issue if HCG mono and/or you were secondary hypo but even then there are cooling options for travel if you have to keep it cold.
When I take a trip, I just take my testosterone and skip my HCG. I've never had any issues and always feel great.
I buy my HCG from the Defy Store, so I just get a new vial and mix it when I get to the destination. Assuming you have a room fridge or the like to store it.
