Can I freeze HCG?

[biggTdogg]

If I wanna take HCG for 10 weeks, but I only have I 5000mcg bottle, can I freeze half the bottle after I constitute it?

I've read HCG will stay good for about 60 days. I was gonna take 250 twice a week for 10 weeks.

Damn...IDK about freezing it. I know it stays good in the frig for a while. I'm guessing it's already in liquid form?

Freezing it has not been shown to extend its shelf life.

Ten weeks is fine as I usually use my 10,000IUs within 3 months and whatever is left gets discarded.

You constitute all 10,000 at once and it lasts 3 months? Everything I've read says 40-60days after re-constitution in the fridge. Have you read otherwise?

That's what the manufacturer would like you to do - more frequent spending. Same as with slin, lasts much longer than indicated when cooled.

Even my endo recommends 90 days. Yes, you will get some degradation as the time goes on, but it's minimal at best - maybe 5%. I use 350IUsx2wk on-going. I don't even try to compensate for any sort of degradation. If you were anal enough, you could compensate a bit, but trust me, not worth it. Does it really matter in the end whether you get 350 or 345 shot towards the end of the vial?

My doc says 90 days too. I've never noticed a difference. I think the 30 and 60 day stuff is so they make more money.

Okay good to know.

I've got another question: I'll be doing a 16 week cycle of Test/tren, with my first show at week 12, then just test for 4 more weeks. I was thinking of running HCG at 500iu 2x-week for about 5 weeks before the show and 5weeks after. I was gonna stop it about 2 weeks before the show to try and minimize any water retention it may cause.

What do you think about this protocol? Just to clearify, I'll only be on the tren for 8 weeks at 100EOD.
