[QUOTE="dickielongate, post: 204202, member: 38930"] Hi, I recently purchased some HCG in error. I thought I had ordered powdered form as usual, but realised my mistake when it arrived and I found it was premixed. What's confusing me is I thought HCG once mixed only retains full potency for about a month, and that is when stored at the correct temperature (refrigerated). But the product I received had an expiry date of months away, so I assume that doesn't apply in all cases. Perhaps when supplied premixed, the situation is different? My concern is that it may not have been stored at the right temperature, and at the very least, it was shipped to me over a two week period, meaning it has been in transit unrefrigerated for some time. I have some pregnancy tests that detect 10 mIU / ml, whereas my mixed HCG is 5000 IU/ml, or 5m mIU/ml. So that seems to suggest that to simulate urine concentrations, I would need to dilute to somewhere less than 500,000 times. Realistically I figured 1:50,000 would do it as I know pregnancy HCG levels can be way higher than the 10 mIU/ ml. The smallest unit I can probably measure out is about 0.05 ml, so it seems I would need to put that into 2.5 l of water to be in the ballpark. I'm looking at this from the point of view of having the ability to test HCG moving forward, as I want to be able to test potency if I am keeping it over the 30 days in liquid form. I understand potency declines gradually. HCG really works for me, but being in the UK I am having to hustle to get a reliable supply, so it would really help to be able to test. Anyone have any experience or thoughts that might help? Much appreciated * I should add that I have no option to order a fresh supply of powder form HCG at least for a few weeks, so I would like to know what state this liquid stuff is in. BTW, it's Sifasi Aqua 5000 IU [/QUOTE]
