Did I screw up?

was mixing my HCG for the first time: 11,000 iU... Got 11 Ml of water into the 11,000 iu vial...but two mistakes,:
1- Didn't sterilize the vial tops before pulling and pushing the liquid
2- The liquid went with a pressure (vacuum) into the powder vial directly hitting the powder.....

Should I order more or continue using.... I read that the tops were to be cleaned and the liquid was to be pushed at an angle.
 
Your HCG may have suffered a bit from the water hitting the powder, but I doubt that it is totally useless because of that. Also, you had bacteriostatic water, right? That should kill any bacteria you may have had on the vial top.
 
Agree with ERO you might have compromised the HCG a bit with the water but not enough to not use it and buy more, as to the cleaning tops of vial, no worries there using the Bac water.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
