Classic HCG question where there's quite a bit of confliction information

ad

So I just realized my 50001u generic HCG (now for the second time, I didn indeed run it before about a year ago using BAC water).

However, I forgot to pick up some BAC water, so after doing some research, I decided to roll the dice and go to walgreens and ask the pharmacist if they had any in stock. Side note- I was reading another forum about how you shouldnt feel nervous about asking for this over the counter, and that it is against the law for the pharmacist to asked questions on why you need it.

So, I go in and ask if tjhey carry bacteriostatic water. She stares at me for about 19 seconds, and then asked, ;What you need THAT for??? (LOL so much for that) In any case, I'm not the kinda person to get nervous about this kind of stuff so I simply told her I was prescribed by a doctor, and that it had come with the powder hcg along with a 2ML amp of sodium chloride. She then said, well did your doctor tell you take this all at once? I told her without getting tnto much detail, that that was indeed the case, but I had done my own research through other doctors, and since I planned to split it up into atleast a few doses because doing all 5000iu once seemed not ideal for my use, I was looking to split up the doses and be able to preserve it for atleast a week or so and that BAC water was the best job for this. She THEN asked me, 'okay, is this for a diet?' I said no. SHe then gets even more nosey and says 'what for?'....I quickly glance at the 2 teenagers standing next to me in line, look back at her and said this is a private issue maam.' which finally shut her up.

Anyway, she got on her computer and started doing research for me. Finally she said, okay, I have just read the leaflets and inhformation on generic HCG, and it clearly says in the leaflet that reconstituting the HCG into the provided .9 sodium chloride (and then refridgerating upon use) will stay fresh from up to 30-60 days. I was surprised by this and said this would be more than enough time.

THEN, she said...BUT, before you do anything, make sure you read the leaflet in the box. at the end of the leaflet it will tell you the amount of time it can be stored safely, so make sure you double check that, but I'm almost certain you will be fine if you use sodium chloride, refridgerate AND IT WILL Lst longer than you will need.

She then added, "but just to double check that you did receive the 2ML of sodium chloride box and youll be fine. At this point, I didnt much feel like telling her that that wasn't the greatest solution considering the entire limit is in CHINESE. Blum 3

SO yes, I ask another question again about bac water vs sodium chloride..but for some reason the pharmacists seem to always preach the sodium chloride, whereas the BB'rs preach BAC water being a must.
]
Keep in mind, this 5000 IU will be lasting me 2 weeks tops..

So before I pin and trak down some BAC, I just wanted some 2+ from ya'll. and not just the ppl who have once read bac was the best and always used that..but rahter from somebody who has either done both or has some medical background in the facts surrounding HCG injections.

Thanks much in advance!

Super interesting read that seems to coincide with what the pharmacist as walgreens told me:

and specifically sodium chloride versus BAC water : http://www.bodybuildingforums.com.au/pct-post-cycle-therapy-oct-on-cycle...

Really wondering what some of the experts opinions are on this. I am fairly a newb when it comes to HCG

Might as well go ahead and order some bac water to be safe... it's cheap (under 5usd in most cases) and won't have you wondering if you made the right choice or not. Just use Google, tons of places sell it.

The sodium chloride is recommended for immediate use. Sodium Chloride is water with added salt to be as close to human blood by salt concentration. Bac water has preservatives to prevent bacteria growth.

I'm not sure what the difference in shelf life is once reconstituted but bac water will definitely be a better choice if you are going to be using hcg over several weeks.
