Sometimes people choose to use a little more mixing liquid when they mix their hCG for injections, and go with a 2:1 mixing ratio-
That Means:
You mixed 10 ml’s of mixing liquid with 5,000iu hCG.
If you are here, you are most likely interested in learning other stuff like how to inject and such so you can you find all my hCG injection tutorials here, including a live demo where I stick myself with a needle for your benefit even though I’m no longer on the diet just to show you how not a big deal it is. How’s that for love?? 😉
And if you are still in the research phase for purchasing hCG, you can compare my current recommendations for RX pharmaceutical hCG that can indeed be purchased online (and comes in powder form, as it MUST if you are using the real hormone) here:
On With the Lesson!
So. Mixing your hCG 2:1 – 10 ml’s of bacteriostatic water with a 5,000 iu vial of hCG.
Some choose to mix in this way because they feel the hCG is dispersed in their body better. I always mixed in a 1:1 ratio (5 ml of bac water with 5,000iu hCG – tutorial on mixing 1:1 here, and hCG dosing for 1:1 mixing here.) for all 5 of my hCG rounds, and I felt like it worked great. 1:1 mixing is currently the standard way most people do it.
But it’s nice to have options right?
Keep in mind though, if you choose to use the 2:1 mixing ratio with 10 ml’s of mixing liquid, make sure you check the size of your syringes FIRST because if you find yourself needing a dose any higher than 150 iu of hCG, you will need to have at least a 50 unit syringe (many of the online U.S. hCG injection companies and weight loss clinics now send 30 unit syringes).
You can buy larger hCG injection syringes ala carte for this purpose if you found it necessary from missourimedicalsupplies.com – the ones I just linked to are 1 cc/ml syringes, so you should be able to get any hCG dosage you like with those when mixing in the 2:1 ratio.
This tutorial shows you how to find the various hCG dosages for the diet if you have mixed in this ratio.
- 25 units = 125 iu
- 30 units = 150 iu
- 35 units = 175 iu
- 40 units = 200 iu
- 45 units = 225 iu
- 50 units = 250 iu
If you need help knowing what hCG dose to take, you can find my tutorial on choosing and adjusting hCG Dosage here.
Additionally, I have quite a smorgasbord of other hCG injection tutorials to help you guys out as well!

I have 2 vials of 5,000ius, can I mix them together in a 10ml bottle using 10ccs of bacteriostatic water?
Lucelle says
Hi Vivian,
This is Lucelle, Rayzel’s assistant. Nice to meet you! 🙂
If it were me I’d mix one at a time to make sure the hCG potency is still high after 4 weeks.
Kelly says
I recently purchsed HCG and mixed it according to the instructions per Dr. Simeons. I wanted to start out with a 125 iu injection per day and it said to mix 20cc of bacteriostatic water for that dosage. I would need to inject .5cc. Since I have read your blog and learned the ratios you recommend for mixing, I’m concerned that I am not injecting the correct amount. I just started last Sat. and am now 5 injections into my cycle…very hungery all day. I need to lose 20-25 lbs. What do you recommend?

Hi Kelly!
You might want to read Rayzel’s detailed dosing post here: hcgchica.com/dosage
If you mixed your 5000iu hCG with 20cc bac water and you want to inject 125, then you are correct that you would need to inject .5
You just might have to adjust your dose to get the right one for you. Please check out the dosing article for more explanation on dosing.
Hope that helps!

– if i mixed 2,000 iu hCG with 2ml.
What is the ratio.
How to measure iu in 40unit /1ml insulin syringe.
Replay me plz
Lucelle says
Hi Suhail!
That will be 1:1. Here’s an article on how you can find your dose in the 40unit/1ml insulin syringe: https://hcgchica.com/find-hcg-injection-dose-syringe/
Hope that helps!

Hi Nina, I live in south america, and I bought here a HCG 5000, but it comes with a tube of water of 1cc and that is the mix that I’ve done. the information I got was to inject 0.3ui. I guess it is because it is more concentrated. Here I couldn´t buy Bac Water It seems it doesn’t exist as the bails also, They are sold to hospitals or similars. Please let me know if what I am doing is right. The other question is that I read that white cheese or turkey ham and a Melba toast could be eaten in the breakfast. Is that true? Thanks for all the support and let me know if the mix is ok or if I can mix it with something else. You are awesome
Brandon says
Hi I have an important question. I mixed 1cc of bac water with a 5000ui of hcg. I’m trying to figure out the dose with a syring that is only (3/10) 30 units syring. I’m looking to do only 500ui a week. Also I mixed this around the begenning of June but it has been refrigerate since. Please help thanks.
hcgchica's helper says
Hi Brandon!
Mixed hCG only last 3-4 weeks when refrigerated and then it loses it’s potency.

I received LG IVG-C with 5,000 UI & 1 ML.
I took the example about for 10 ML x 5,000 UI ’50 units = 250 iu’
Doubled it for 500 UI and am using 10 units.
You could always purchase more sterile water and add more if you like. Shouldn’t matter as long as the ratio is correct.
