HCG availability

[HeadDoc]

anyone having trouble getting HCG from the pharmacy? My script is amonth behind. I have a few extra vials so it's not an issue now. Since most of my HRT meds are renewed monthly, I'm thinking of a pharmacy that will ship in three month supplies. drugstore.com has a good price of $45 for 3 vials. Other outlets would be welcome. I currently use Walgreens'

[HeadDoc]

the last time this occured, it was a supply problem with the manufacturer. My pharmacy tells me the same is true now.

Is this specifically about Novarel or just any HCG?

Mine is running low, I was planning to go to my pharmacy and just buy whatewer they have at that day.

$45 for three 10000iu vials with bacteriostatic water included,
that would be excellent price.

I am talking about Novarel only.

I just called Britney at
drugstore.com

they list

Pregnyl---not available
Qvidrel---do not have, but able order when have my script at hand
Novarel---not available

They need prescription for specific name, they cannot give me another brand HCG if script calls for Novarel.
.
After my gym I am going make a trip to my Drug Fair or Walgreens, I will take what they have.

since I may have your attention,

I am studying estrogen metabolism/management.
I heard (Patrick Hanaway, MD, head of Genova diagnostics) that women who use progesterone cream have estrogen problem.
The remedy is to use gel instead of cream.
Pills are not good either for similar reasons.
Pharma-kinetics

I am, many are using pregnenolone cream, wonder if same apply.

Janz I think it was suggested IVF meds for a possible source. I think they too are out of novarel but were able to get me 3 vials of the generic, NEXT DAY, for very cheap. Actually, I think their only shipping is next day, and 3 vials came out to under 150 total, plus they give syringes, needles, and alcohol pads with it (didnt even know that). It says they are 26 a piece on the website, but I think they charged me around 30-40 each (dont know why, just double checked website).

Still, very good service and getting the job done. I used to use rxusa but they also ran out of novarel adn their generic was the same price pretty much.

Edit: the total was 109 for 3 vials including shipping.

Just went to IVF
> Pregnyl®
> Profasi®
> Novarel®
blocked out, I assume they are not available.
Below I see

Organon Europe Pack 10,000 IU $26 per pack

wonder if we could use Organon, and what actually is included (is water included).

Screw it, I continued with the order, the Organon is actually Pregnyl (ha, will see when I get it home).
This is my receipt, luckily I had a script at hand, scaned uploaded, will see what happen.
ordered 3 packs.

PRODUCT NAME QTY Unit Price Total
HCG 10,000 IU
(Organon Europe Pack 3 $26.00 $78.00

Subtotal: $78.00

Shipping $39.00
Total: $117.00
============================================
BTW, instead of subQ in the fat around navel (needle goes into fat),
I started using skin on the outside of my thighs, I have a very thin skin there, I lift the skin and put needle just under skin, sedeways. I see little bubble from the shot. It diappears 5-10 minutes latter.
Wonder how this is going to work.
Any body tried testosterone just under the skin, may be interesting.

Here's where I get my Novarel from my understanding they have an alotment from the Mfr. to get the drug. I called the Mfr. and they told me I shouldn't have any problems getting it from them. In fact they gave me their contact information.

When it is packaged for markets other than the US, it usually comes already reconstituted in a glass ampule. You will either need to preload syringes or transfer the stuff to a sterile multiple-use vial that you can purchase off of the web. Don't remember where - google it, places are pretty easy to find.

The stuff I got from IVF was not pregynl or organon but APP. ANd it came just as teh novarel came, but they also included the extras I mentioned earlier.

Most local pharms still have it but the mega online stores do not I am sure its due to volume Glen Rock Pharmacy probably does not have th evolume of a drugstore.com

I have had no problems but I also but 3 - 5 at a time so I do not run out

My doc says the problem is there's some new best-seller that claims you can lose weight with HCG, so women are buying the stuff up like crazy. There have been ads running in our local paper saying "lose 1 Lb./day with HCG." So apparently it's not a supply problem, it's a demand problem. I wonder where the "lose a pound" guy is getting his supply. These people will give the stuff a bad name and none of us will be allowed to have it.

That claim came from Kevin Trudeu that lunitic that preached about coral calcium and write the "What they don't want you to know" books I have yet to lose any weight from HCG

My advise for those who use it buy it up when you can to make sure you do not run out
