You're going to hear both IM and sub-q and I think either way is fine. I've done it both ways and honestly I have not noticed a difference, but maybe that's just me.

If I'm using hcg during cycle I'll inject it IM and just mix it with whatever else I'm injecting.

If I'm using it as part of PCT a lot of the time I'll go sub-q just to see if I notice a difference, and so far no.

HCG is supposed to be an IM shot, never tried it sub-q.

Just got my HCG in. But I have a question about how to mix it. One vial has liquid in it and the other vial has white powder in it. It came from mexico the brand is Parfarm. Do I just pour the powder into the liquid and shake it up or what. I have never used this before and Im not a chemist. Any suggestions please help.

Yes you mix it. Just make sure you are aware of how many iu's are in the powder, depending on the brand it can vary, 2000iu and 5000iu are the only kind I've ever used.

The way I do it is I draw out 2ml of bacto water and inject that into the HCG amp. I then draw out the mix and put it into a clean empty vile, and store in the refrigerator. Use a syringe that breaks up into tenths, you then divide the amount of HCG (total iu's) by the amount of water. For example, if your HCG is 2000iu strength and you mix it with 2ml of water, you then have a mix dosed at 100iu per tenth/ml.

The age old debate is still around I see.

I have used HCG throughout the years both ways and can honestly say I did not notice a difference either way. I do prefer Sub-Q and for the last few years have only ran it this way.

Most all package inserts will say it goes IM but go to a fertility specialist and most will give the shot Sub-Q.

Either way you will be fine. Most will find Sub-Q is more fitting for them in the abdominal/oblique area. These two studies show that in medicine both techniques are used. It is really a preference.

muscle

Actually on the box it specifically states IM (intramuscular injection), but you can do sub-q.

It's not a big deal, muscle19.

I usually load it in to one of my shot with other compounds and shoot it with them.

I go subQ with a 30guage insulin needle.  I don't even feel it.


Musclestang:  Don't forget to REFRIGERATE it.  It's good for about 2 months.
