Sometimes HGH comes with steryl water and you have to shoot that day.
Bac water and HCG is 30 days so you can see my point here.

Steryl water really kills the life of the HCG.
Use bacteriostatic water and you can store that in the fridge for about 30 days.
Bacterio static water comes in 30ml bottles.

I use HCG throughout the cycle starting at week 3 and continue to the end.
I use about 500iu every 3 days or so. If the testicles get a bit stubbern at the end I just bump it up to EOD or even Everyday if Im still getting atrophy.

HCG has a half life of about 5 days so in theory a couple of jabs a week would be ok.
I dont think 5000IU is a good idea as too much HCG can damage the leydig cells in the testicles.
HCG mimicks LH and this is the chemical that comes form the petiutary gland and tells the balls to go to work.
If you have testicular atrophy and come off a cycle you will take a long time to recover as LH comes back pretty quickly but the testicles can take weeks or even months to start producing.

The most I have ever used at one time was 1000Iu ED for 10 days. I had to do this after a long course of deca that gave me a hard shutdown.

So if you got some HCG and it containes steryl water, I would go out and purchase a 30 ml bottle of bacteriostatic water and use that. Onced mixed you will either have to pre-load the syrenges or use that 30 ml bottle and keep it in the fridge.
30ml bottles are only $5.00 really cheap.

Sub-q is my favorite way to use HCG but you can toss it in with the gear and use intramuscular too.
