I’m curious to hear from those of you who regularly use HCG, especially around how you mix it, store it, and preserve potency over time. Most vials seem to come as 5000 IU, and from what I’ve read, it’s best to reconstitute with bacteriostatic water since it helps maintain stability longer. The common guideline says once mixed, it’s good for about 28–30 days in the fridge, but I’ve seen conflicting information suggesting it may hold up for 6–8 weeks with only minor potency loss (~5%). Here’s where I’m puzzled: If I’m dosing around 250 IU 2–3x per week, that means: - 5000 IU ÷ 250 IU = 20 doses total - At 2x per week → ~10 weeks of use So technically, I’m only able to use half the vial’s potential before it supposedly expires. That feels like a huge waste unless there’s a better way to preserve it. Some users mention freezing preloaded syringes or reconstituting smaller amounts at a time, but I’ve also read warnings that freezing can damage the peptide or reduce its stability. So my questions are: 1. How long has your reconstituted HCG actually remained potent in practice? 2. Do you use bacteriostatic or something else, and what’s been your experience? 3. Has anyone here successfully frozen preloaded syringes or split the vial to extend usage safely? 4. Any practical tips to reduce waste while maintaining sterility? Appreciate any real-world input, especially from people who’ve tested stability or tracked potency over time. Thanks in advance! 🙏
