Thread: HCG shortage?

Tried all the bid pharms as well as Costco and Sam's. Anyone else having this issue?

Online pharmacies that I use still seem to have plenty...try overseas pharmacies. I think if you look for it on Amazon the people who sell the injection kit have a link on their site to an online pharm that sells it. BTW, I don't know how much you get for those prices you mentioned but if it's 5000iu or less that's ridiculously high.

It is for the 10,000iu

Almost forgot HCG doesn't last forever either 4-5 weeks tops in he fridge so if you are doing 1000iu ew a 10000 iu vial will start losing its effectiveness. I don't think it will go "bad" ie degrade to the point of making you sick you just won't get the full benefit.

In other words, if you're using 1000iu or less a week try to stick with 5000iu vials.

I doubt you will find it already mixed. You will need to mix it with bac water. Look around, our sponsors carry it.

I told the Doc that it only lasts about a month after mixing it and he still prescribed the 10,000iu and not the 5000. I told him I would be throwing half or more away each month. It's crazy that I actually have a script and am having trouble getting it, I can get it easier without one.

You don't have to throw it away. It will be fine, just use it untill it's gone. I don't know why this rumor keeps going around. I am on prescribed TRT too and was to told not to worry about it. I reconstituted 11,000 IU back in early June. I just used my last 250 IU yesterday. That's FIVE months! My nuts are just fine.

I didnt have any problems getting hCG. Just got 10 amps of Pregnyl last week
