Thanks I’ll keep an eye out. Makes sense. I am a bit confused at the pharmacy’s decision unless they are sending a separate package with insulin needles(the pharmacy delivered directly to me - I didn’t pick anything up.) Tried to call them today but they are closed.
The bacteriostatic water is withdrawn using that large needle and injected into the vial of dry HCG. For the 5000iu I had, I mixed 5cc of bacteriostatic water, so I assume you mix 10cc in yours, but double check the vial, otherwise it’ll be diluted.
You inject the needle directly into the rubber part of each vial, so make sure to sterilize them using an alcohol wipe.
Also, you should draw the same amount of air into the needle as you will draw, so for your 5 or 10cc, fill the needle with that much air and inject it into the vial. You should also do the same when you fill the diabetic needles.
I would suggest viewing this video for better information.

Quick tip if your new to hcg make sure to never shake the bottle when mixing gently stir around the bottle until it’s deluded, I was told you can damage the hormone/powder if it’s shaken to hard.

Hey guys this might be on here somewhere but if anyone could tell me where they got their HcG I would greatly appreciate it. I read it got banned in March so I’m having a hard time finding where to get some. I appreciate the help guys.
Edit: Just found 1 doctor listed above. Any others would also be appreciated. Thanks

I don’t believe hCG is banned to doctors. Mine gave it to me, and provided refills. Googling doctors and hCG is how I found mine, and will surely suggest getting it from a doctor instead of online, because this is an injection, and should be taken much more seriously than vitamins or herbs, especially if there is a problem with injections.

Great thanks for the response
@NewYorker, can I ask why you decided to embark on taking hCG rather than TRT? Was it due to JoeKool’s recovery story or was it based on other underlying logic too?
Yes, I’m trying hCG because of what I read from JoeKool and the independent research where hCG has some success for other conditions. I am also trying it because it’s not a lifetime commitment like TRT, where months can be spent “dialing” it in.
After 30+ injections, I’m not regretting my decision. For me, there have been some mild improvements that started appearing after about a month, and those included body hair, muscle tone, testicle improvement, where they seem larger and no longer extremely tight-they’re actually hanging again! Also, for the first time since 2006, my ejaculate isn’t nearly as watery, and actually has some texture. That, to me, is a sign that something is happening. My mood is a bit better, and I’m hopeful the improvements will stay after this protocol is over. I have about 40 more injections to go, and hope for the “desire” to finally return.

Started my first injection today. Will keep a log and keep everyone updated on my progress.

I’ve had a couple of setbacks unrelated to the this condition or HCG. Seems like I pinched a nerve numbing my left side and ended up in the hospital. On a positive note, they took a bunch of tests and Cat Scans, including of my testicles.
After I was released, I saw an endocrinologist, Dr. Jackness, who’s been mentioned here before, and I was clear about the hCG I’m on, and how well it’s working so far. He drew some blood a couple of days ago and I hope to get results to share soon.
On physical exam, he said my testicles hung and seemed normal. I know that’s the work of the hCG because they hadn’t been like that for years. Semen is still thicker, but not fully back to normal. Given it was very watery for the last 14 years, that’s good.
I shared with Jackness the hCG in the second vial (last 20 injections) seems less effective than the first. I’m getting another vial soon, as the one have could be “old” or otherwise damaged due to mishandling.
All in all, things are better, and I’m now noticing a memory improvement-nothing incredible, but an improvement.
Open questions that remain are will these gains remain after ceasing HCG injections and when will “desire” come back. Jackness also said low dose HCG treatment may continue up to a year. We’ll discuss after the blood work returns.

I started 4 weeks from last Saturday. I’ll post my update here:
Overall slight improvement in erection quality during masturbation and I now have more desire to masturbate. I don’t think I’d yet have much if any improvement in sexual intercourse performance/ability.
I have had small benefits in mental function and this is helping a lot.
A good way to describe last month would be no downswings, just stable but good baseline level. Best I’ve been since crash, but still far away from both being cured and length of time JoeKool recommends.
I didn’t pay enough attention to semen quality before starting HCG, probably because I’m not as bothered by that symptom. I can say that within the last few months the quality is back to normal, but not the same amount. I assume it’s HCG that has improved this symptom, but can’t be certain.

@Tyr @NewYorker Thank you for the updates I will soon join you in testing HCG when it arrives.
May I ask you if you noticed any improvements in mood and/or drive and/or emotions/feeling of life?

It would be more accurate to say I haven’t had the usual downswings in mood and drive. A downswing in mood and drive would have made work hard and so even though benefits are not amazing it’s helping a lot.
I really should stress that it feels like only a small step in the right direction so far, but that is to be expected and hopefully in coming months I’ll get some changes that really have an impact.
In terms of emotion, it’s weird because happiness is an emotion I experience often usually when in the moment doing or saying something funny or exciting. Other parts of emotion has totally been missing since crash like if some family member is in hurt I’d feel sadness and urge to comfort them before crash, now I feel nothing like a psycho. I also not feeling the lust for females in that emotional way and never can get aggressive. Would be amazing if I get any of that type of emotion back.

Are you saying this has improved for you on hcg?
So accurately described. I think you hit the nail on the hammer comparatively speaking to my experience as well.
No, I had a situation recently where I should have felt sadness and empathy towards another persons pain and I felt nothing. I wouldn’t have put much thought into it if it weren’t for that experience.
On the bright side, at least I have frequent moments of happiness.
