Hi Sunshine,
No need to feel so overwhelmed. But I felt the same way, too when I first started out. Let me add that there are different ways of injecting and mixing HCG. They are all correct.
I chose to keep it very simple and non-invasive; that is why I chose less fluid to mix with and short needles. So I opted to go "dryer", less fluid, and "shorter" with the shorter needles.
Tyler Nixon, an hcgmedical expert, has verified that this less invasive way is also correct to do, and is how they do it at their clinic. It's not the amount of water you use to mix with your HCG that you need to be concerned about, but the amount of HCG you are using.
What Kaley wrote to you is absolutely correct procedure. But because I am afraid of needles and don't want to have to inject a lot of fluid, I decided to use less water to mix with my HCG so that I could use the smallest needle I could. I just don't like the idea of having to inject deep into a muscle every day; it unnerves me and there is no reason to be so invasive with a needle. Otherwise, I probably couldn't have done the protocol had I been forced to use large needles. .
The more fluid you use the deeper you are going to have to inject, and that means a much longer needle will have to be used.
So, I mixed 5 cc's of bacteriostatic water with my 5000 ampoule of HCG. Since I decided to go with 200 IU's of HCG, that gave me 25 injections. Because I had such a minute amount of fluid to inject, this meant I could use a very small, short needle, insulin size. I injected into fatty tissues. I lost 36 pounds doing the protocol the first time. I am now in the middle of losing my last 20 pounds and doing the protocol for the second time, and I am injecting into the tummy and love handles. Beautiful results.
It is confusing when there are different ways to inject and mix. It is understandable to become confused; but whichever way you decide to do it, go for it.
What I can tell you is this, and you can take it to the bank.
If you go by any other diet than what is found in the book, your weight loss will be slower.
If you cheat on the diet, you will be sorry. You will gain weight at an alarming rate; then you have precious days you have lost in vain because you deviated from the diet.
Good luck; everything will be okay.

Hi there.
I also received the 5000 IU and only 1 ml of solvent. I did not receive any bacteriostatic water, so I used purified water. I added 30 cc of water to the hcg, which gave me 30 syringes. It takes a long time to inject that much, and it stings. I did not know you could use less water. How important is the bacteriostatic water vs. purified water? Where can you order the bacteriostatic, and I ordered overseas, it took 3 weeks to get it, where do you order?

My HCG came in a 10,000IU vial. I only had to mix it with 10ml/cc of the BAC water. I am on day three of the program and have lost 2 pounds so far. I got off to a bit of a rough start, but things are going great. I use .20ml each morning and stick with the 500 calories per day diet. I have a very positive outlook and know my results will be all I hope them to be. Good luck everyone.

Correction on my above post. I got my weight amount wrong on that post. I had my first injection on Monday 12/3, today is day 4 for me. I have lost 7 pounds so far! I have 33 pounds more that I want to lose. This is great. I went in to my doctor today and had to explain to her what the HCG program is. She didnt know. I also told her that she could go online to the website and look for herself. (After she saw my weight drop since Monday when I was in.) She said that it was great! And I didnt even do a shot yesterday because I was having different needles sent to me. The clinic I got my supplies from ordered them for me. These were shipped to me Tuesday from a pharmacy in California. They arrived today by Fed Ex. Just in time for me not to miss todays injection! I dont even feel hungry, and am getting used to the needles. Which is good, because I am a total needle coward. My worst prob is getting air in the syringe. But I think I have that problem tackled now. I am excited!

Terry,
When you pre-mix the 5000 IU into the syringes, how does it affect the potency?
Natural Cures book says you have to mix it the day you use it, because after 24 hours, it loses its potency??? But it didn't seem to be a problem for you?
So this works good for you, this is the first I have heard of this. If this works I am going to try it. I am on day 8 this is counting the two load days doing IM injections and I have lost 15 pounds. I have been weak and tired is this normal.
Congrats on your success so far! Some people have said they get a little tired and weak. That is normal. Getting enough rest is important, as well as following the diet. You may want to speak with the clinic that you received your HCG from if you have further concerns. Good luck on your program.

For anyone who is wondering hwo to get HCG my name is PJ Smith and I am a program counselor for a hormone therapy clinic that services clients nationwide. First off I want everyone to know that there is absolutely no national shortage on HCG this is a problem specific only to one comany in Florida. We are completely legal and you will be under our doctors care. Also if you want information on effectiveness of all different delivery (shot, spray, pills) methods I have plenty of information on that. Anyone who needs more information is free to send any questions about the protocol and how to recieve the therapy can email me at hcgguru@gmail.com.
Leticia,I'm not sure what you are talking about,bug i do know that hgh pills dont live up to their hype.be careful dear about what you put in your body,and i"m not saying what works,all i know its all about the money here or anywhere else.just go and check out the prices on some of these natural cures,and you better have a pretty good income to afford all the stuff.good luck,and be blessed.

My husband and I are both taking the HCG shots. In 10 days he lost 11 pounds (it would have been more but he cheated one day) and 3 inches. I have lost 8 pounds and 3 inches! I would have lost more pounds but I've been doing TaeKwon Do and I have gained some muscle; one day I didn't lose any weight after exercising a lot, I started to feel disappointed and then I took my measurements and I had lost a whole inch off my hips in one day!!! I tried the OraThin Hcg alternative and followed the protocol strictly but I was ravenously hungry and after 14 days I had only lost one inch. I'm really glad I got the injectible HCG and tried the protocol again. I haven't been physically hungry except late at night if I have stayed up late. I skipped lunch one day on accident because I was busy and wasn't even hungry! Sometimes I really want to eat, but then I notice my stomach isn't hungry it's just emotional eating and psychological cues ( I usually eat after I get off work at 11pm or have snacks after running errands, or have chocolate when I feel stressed). It's not easy to cut out all my favorite foods but it's so exciting to put on clothes that haven't fit for more than a year, to finally lose that stubborn fat that seemed permanently attached to my hips. I'm looking forward to getting up in the morning to get on the scale and see a pound less.
Hi Kim,
Please don't use purified water, FOR ANYTHING!! Purified water just means they have removed any fecal matter or urine from it along with taking out any other floating or sunken parts or pieces from it. The word "purified" is very misleading. You are still drinking water that has been chemically "purified". Stick with spring water or distilled water to drink. I have good well water to drink and bathe in.
The question I would have about your HCG would be, if you mixed your HCG with purified water and not bacteriostatic water, is it now compromised? I believe the bacteriostatic water has some type preservative in it.
Yes, I know the book does say to mix HCG daily, but when it comes in 1000 IU's or larger ampoules, it is impossible to mix it daily. However, I do know for a fact that 25 injections are potent for at least a month, and it is more probable that it will remain potent for at least sixty days after it is mixed, but I personally would not want to have a sixty day supply already mixed and sitting on the refrigerator shelf; just in case.
Good luck.
After I premixed my HCG with bacteriostatic water, I left it in the amber bottle I mixed it in, and simply withdrew from it everyday the amount I needed in my insulin syringe.
You need to order bacteriostatic water, pronto, from androusa, to mix with your HCG; they also sell needles and supplies too, and if you do it online, you'll receive your order in three days.
Good luck.
