So I MUST start my hCG cycle tomorrow (LONG story/beside the point)...
It arrived today, but the pharmacy screwed up and it came in amps instead of vials (and I don't have any empty/mixing vials on hand... so if I'm going to start tomorrow as planned and not have to wait to order empty vials, my two options are as follows:
1. Reconstitute in the huge ass 30 mL vial of bac water (if I do this, I'm planning on drawing out 28 mL so that would be a big waste of bac water but more importantly because the bac water vial is so big, I'm not sure if I'll have trouble drawing out my dose of hCG if I reconstitute w/ just 2 mL, when it starts to get low). Also, the bac water vial is a plastic-type material as opposed to glass... and I don't know if this will cause any issues... my guess would be no...
2. Reconstitute w/ Bac 0.9% sodium chloride solution (which comes in a 5 mL glass vial). The waste would be a lot less and it will be much easier to draw out, but my concerns are:
a) can hCG be reconstituted w/ bac .9% sodium chloride?
b) I'm running a 28 days cycle and was wondering if the bac .9% sodium chloride + hCG will still be sterile at 28 days............ the pamphlet/drug insert (this dilutent came w/ my script for GH) says to "discard after 14 days of use".... but my doc said that (when mixed w/ GH) I can get AT LEAST 21 days safely (I made sure to clarify since my script for the GH has me going thru 1 vial every 21 days).
Errrr! Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
