HCG can be pinned either Subq, or IM. The simplest and fastest way is subq. Just pinch a fold of skin to the right or left of your belly button and inject. All you need is an insulin needle that reads cc's/ml's, because the # of IU's that you get is completely dependent on how you mix it. What you will need is either the 1ml amp of solvent and bactereostatic water, syringes, and a sterile vial.
Lets say you have a 5000 iu amp of HCG, you will mix the solvent in the HCG amp, draw out the HCG and inject into a sterile vial. If you had 1ml of solvent mixed into the hcg you now have 5000iu in 1ml of water. No one wants to divide up that tiny amount into 500iu increments, so what you will want to do is add more bacto water to your sterile vial. Personally I would add 4 more cc/ml's of water to the sterile vials making 5ml's of water containing 5000iu of hcg. Now if you want to inject 500iu at a time all you need to do is withdraw 1/2 ml. Make sure you keep the HCG refrigerated after you mix it and it should last from 30 - 60 days depending on what brand you use.
The way to use HCG is completely up to you and it is something you need to research for your self. I personally use it while on cycle, but others like to use it for PCT. I am in the camp that believes keeping your balls nice and full and not letting them atrophy from the get go makes recovery a much simpler process. The protocol I use is as follows:
Shut down begins at the very start of your cycle, so I will use HCG right from very first pin. You should pin 500iu either e3d, or 2xew, all the way through your cycle stopping 4 days prior to PCT. For most especially those on heavy cycles this protocol will allow you to recover much easier. This protocol is tried and true and I have used myself many times.
