Did my HCG pass the prenancy test?? Unsure

[kiwidave1]

Hey, I mixed my recent order of 5000ui of HCG in 5ml of bacteriostatic water and tested it 4 days after reconstituting it with a 5 pack of Answers test strips.
I drew up .2ml and added it to the bottom of the strip, 5 minutes later nothing, not even a single not pregnant stripe so I added another .3ml to the strip but go no results.
Used a second test strip and added .7ml to the strip, after 5 minutes I got 2 very very faint lines meaning I am pregnant but my wife said that result is sketchy because it is so faint.

Is my HCG bunk? I burned through over a 1000ui of this HCG testing it and am still unsure if I am with child or not.

Should I bin it or shot it? I did one 1000ui shot on Friday and was planning on 2x 350ui a week going forward. Ball size didn't change with 1000ui shot.

Well I kinda did the same thing. I hade to use a whole thing og 5000iu vial to get my hcg to register as pregnate. I had to soak the strip in it. My first test I only put a little bit on it, so I don't think it had enough on it. That's might be why urs not coming up at positive.

Just to be sure you did everything correctly,I am going over how to reconstitute it


HCG usually comes as 5,000iu.
If you were to use 1ml to dilute this, you’d have 5,000iu/ml
If you were to use 2ml to dilute this, you’d have 2,500iu/ml
If you were to use 5ml to dilute this, you’d have 1,000iu/ml

HCG also comes as 2,500iu
If you were to use 1ml to dilute this, you’d have 2,500iu/ml
If you were to use 2 ml to dilute this, you’d have 1,250iu/ml


HCG also comes as 10,000iu
If you were to use 1ml to dilute, you’d have 10,000iu/ml
If you were to use 5ml to dilute, you’d have 2,000iu/ml

There are also 11,000iu batches
If you were to use 1ml to dilute, you’d have 11,000iu/ml
If you were to use 5ml to dilute, you’d have 2,200iu/ml

To find the iu/ml for a different number, take the total iu of HCG and divide by the number of ml you plan to dilute it with (for example, 5,000iu/2ml=2,500iu/ml)

The more you dilute it, the more accurate your dosage will be. For example, using 2,500iu/ml, if you were to inject 500iu there could be measuring error. Let’s say the margin of error is +/- .05cc. You could be injecting between 375iu and 325iu. Now, taking the 1,000iu/ml dosage, the +/-.05cc margin of error is lower (also using a dose of 500iu). The dose would be somewhere between 450iu and 550iu.
At 1,000iu/ml, .5cc is 500iu, .2cc is 200iu, and .25cc is 250iu.
At 2,200iu/ml, .5cc is 1,100iu, .2cc is 440iu, and .25 is 550iu.

To find the number of iu in any increment, take the iu/ml number and multiply it by the cc you want (for example, 1,000iu/ml*.5cc=500iu).
If you want to take a certain iu, divide the number of iu by the iu/ml to find out how many cc you need (for example, if you want 500iu and you have a dose at 2,000iu/ml, 500iu/2,000iu/ml=.25ml)

Using HCG
HCG should be stored in a refrigerator immediately after reconstitution. It can last about 4 weeks or so. Swirl it gently before injecting but handle it carefully. Letting HCG go to room temperature after it has been chilled can damage it. If this happens, it is safer to throw it away and start over. When reconstituting, the reconstitution liquid should not be directly shot at the HCG biscuit but rather run down the side of the vial. It is best to used a new, sealed, sterile vial for reconstitution. HCG can be shot either in a muscle (IM) or subcutaneously (sub-q). It is more common to shoot HCG sub-q to avoid scar tissue in the muscle. HCG is typically shot with an insulin pin to minimize pain. A typical 25-30g pin with a .5cc barrel (or as small as you can get) is recommend (a smaller barrel minimizes the margin of error). A sub-q injection is typically done in the abdominal region by pinching a layer of fat and injection the HCG between the fat and muscle.

Say all of this was done correctly ,3 possibilities,you added too much BA water, or The HCG was already watered down, or the powder was damaged during the mix. it could even be an old batch if it reads (weakly)

It can still work, BUT! you will have to use alot more of it.
Those are my reccommendations.

Hey RADAR, thanks for your input. I reconstituted it as per the instructions above. 5000iu vial (no label or writing on the vial) reconstituted with 1ml Bac water, in vial added 4ml of bac water, drew up the 1ml in HCG vial and shot into mixing vial. so 5000iu in 5ml should be 1000iu per ml.
Keep in fridge in dark (old AI cycle support) tub at back of fridge.

Thanks bro, I might go 1000ui a week and see how it goes.
