Painful HCG injections

[punkrock]

So I was wondering if it's normal for it to sting alot when injecting hcg?

I was planning on running it during my cycle but it hurt so damn bad, then I forgot to refrigerate it so I ended up only doing one Intramuscular hcg in bacteriostatic water. I actually stopped part way through the injection.

So now that i'm doing it for post cycle, I tried sub-q in bacteriostatic water and It still drives me crazy! Worse than any test injection i've ever had, by far.

The other question I have is; Is it any better with B12 or sodium whatever?
I have a feeling I'm going to get told to put my purse down and just inject the stuff... haha

Never had a problem with HCG stinging myself. What brand HCG? Are you using the water it came with or did you get it seperately?

I've heard of some Chinese HCG stinging if you use the dilutant it comes with.

if the BW water stings you... Sodium Chloride will hurt ever more

try with B12

Try with B12.

It's some chinese brand, and I got the water seperately. It actually doesn't say bacteriostatic water on it, it just says sterile water for injection USP

Weird, I`ve been using the chineese hcg with sodium chloride and it dosen`t sting at all.

Can you get sodium chloride over the counter?

theres a big difference between sterile water and BACTERIOSTATIC.... as in, i would use sterile for 1 big shot, but bacW if i was to tkeep it in the fridge

$3 at Jean Coutu. They even made a special order for me.

Bump, sterile water is for single use only!! You can get an infection from reusing it as it does not have any preservatives.

Get some bateriostatic sodium chloride....

So I that's probably a useless batch then? I specifially asked for Bacteriostatic water too! ****.

You can even pull up to the counter and act all smart by saying "do you have any NACL?"

Those chineese never understand correctly do they? They just nod their heads as you talk to them... (jk)

If it was I probably would have checked the label more closely. I had a bunch of old giggly broads helping me out.

So New Question: I just mixed the hcg with sterile water last night, and injected today, Is it still an ok shot or should i do a new batch?

Also, do you think I could risk using the hcg for my next shot as well, or is it going have lost it's properties too much in 3 days?

p.s. thanks for clearing that up so far!!:tu

i think the consensus is 7 days for sterile water in the fridge, HCG will be fine up to 30 days i think, but the bacteria will start growing in the water much earlier

Ya..to bad it sounds like they gave you the wrong water,,,,,Human stuff should not hurt....that vet shit with the water supplied sure does lol
