hCG evaporating?

Ok...I don't think I am crazy.

I have recently been buying smaller vials of hCG - 2000iu. I add 1cc of BAC water. I inject about 200iu EOD. I have been noticing that by the time I am done with the vial I may only get about 0.65-0.75cc. I log my injections and reconciled my log with my supply. WTF?

No it's not evaporating. A small portion of liquid is lost in the needle and the end of the syringe on every injection. You're injecting only 1/10th of 1cc EOD. That's a very small amount of liquid and it will increase your loss. If your vial can hold 10cc of liquid then add 5cc of BAC when you reconstitute it. Then inject .5cc each time. This will decrease your losses by 80%.

Great advice...thanks Carbonium

If your needles are .3cc insulin syringes then go with 3cc's of BAC and .3cc per dose.
