Weekly research phases
Units and volumes recompute from your Step 1 concentration (1 mL BAC → 5000.00 IU/mL · 50000.0 mcg/unit).
Standard titration
Male hypogonadism / fertility-support educational ranges often cite roughly ~500–3000 IU per injection, 2–3 times weekly. Female ovulation-trigger doses are protocol-specific and different. Research vials are not a substitute for prescribed fertility care.
| Phase | Dose (IU) | Units | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|

Bacteriostatic water
1 × 3 mL bottle
1 mL BAC per vial × 3 vials = 3.0 mL total. Buy as 1× 3 mL bottle or 1× 10 mL bottle (whichever you stock).
U-100 insulin syringes (100-unit)
12+ syringes
About one 100-unit syringe per injection for this schedule. Keep a few spares.
Alcohol swabs & sharps
~30 swabs · 1 sharps container
Wipe vial stopper and injection site each time. Dispose needles in a proper sharps container.
Reconstitution steps
- Allow the lyophilized 5000 IU hCG vial and bacteriostatic water to reach room temperature.
- Draw 1.0 mL bacteriostatic water (default for this guide).
- Inject BAC slowly down the inner wall of the vial — avoid blasting the powder cake.
- Gently swirl or roll until the solution is clear. Do not shake hard (foaming).
- Label with recon date and concentration (e.g. "5000 IU/mL — 1 mL BAC").
- Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35–46 °F), protected from light. Prefer using a reconstituted multi-dose vial within ~28 days with sterile technique.
Storage
Lyophilized
Keep dry powder cold and dark when possible (−20 °C / −4 °F preferred for long-term research stock).
Reconstituted
Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35–46 °F). Avoid freeze–thaw of the working solution. Prefer finishing within ~28 days.
- ·Write recon date and BAC volume on the label.
- ·Protect from light during storage.
- ·Discard if cloudy, particulates, or odd odor appear after reconstitution.
Protocol notes
- ·Calculator amounts are in IU (vial and dose fields labeled IU).
- ·hCG stimulates LH receptors — affects testosterone/estradiol and fertility axes.
- ·Research use only.
Research context & considerations
Human chorionic gonadotropin is used in fertility medicine and selected hypogonadism protocols. Research-market products are not a substitute for regulated pharmacy hCG under clinician care.
- ·Can raise estradiol; gynecomastia risk discussions exist.
- ·Not for unsupervised fertility or steroid post-cycle self-experimentation as medical advice.
- ·Legal/regulatory status varies; prescription products exist for approved uses.
- ·Pregnancy out of scope (except supervised fertility medicine).
