Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) acts like LH, the signal that tells the testes to make testosterone and sperm. It is a fertility medicine supplied as freeze-dried powder.
Each order is one vial holding 5,000 IU of freeze-dried powder. Mix it with bacteriostatic water before use.

With its sugar chains, the full hCG molecule weighs about 37 kDa.
hCG binds LH receptors in the testes, so they keep making testosterone and sperm even when your own LH is switched off.
Half-life: about 24-36 hours.
How levels rise and fall after a single dose, based on a half-life of about 24-36 hours. Each mark on the axis is one half-life; after about five, almost none is left.
An illustration from the half-life only; real levels vary with dose, how it is given and the person.
Clinical reference: Canadian labels for male hypogonadism use about 1,000–4,000 IU two to three times a week. Doctors adding it to TRT to preserve fertility commonly prescribe 250–500 IU two or three times a week.
Mixing: adding 5 ml of bacteriostatic water to this 5,000 IU vial gives 1,000 IU per ml. On a U-100 insulin syringe, 10 units (0.1 ml) then holds 100 IU.
High doses raise estradiol and can desensitise the testes.
These are reference amounts from labels and clinical studies, not a personal recommendation. A doctor sets the right dose for you, using your bloodwork.

HCG 5000 IU comes as a freeze-dried powder. HCG is labelled for both routes: intramuscular (the original Pregnyl label) and subcutaneous (the Ovidrel label). Most people now use subQ with an insulin needle, shown below.
Finding it. Anywhere on the belly at least 5 cm (2 in) from the navel, avoiding scars, stretch marks and the belt line. Pinch a fold of skin and inject into the fold.
Why people choose it. The most-used subcutaneous site: the most fat, easy to see and reach, and absorption is steady. It is the first site listed on the labels of weekly GLP-1 pens.
Watch out. Move each injection at least 2–3 cm from the last one to avoid lumps (lipohypertrophy).
Finding it. The middle of the front of the thigh, a hand-width below the hip and above the knee.
Why people choose it. Easy to reach seated and a good second site to rotate with the belly.
Watch out. Absorption can be a little slower than the belly, and heavy leg exercise straight after may speed it up.
Finding it. The fleshy back of the upper arm, halfway between the shoulder and the elbow.
Why people choose it. Adds a third site to rotate through, so each spot gets more rest.
Watch out. Hard to pinch and reach on yourself; most people need a helper here.
Every time: wash your hands, wipe the vial top and the skin with alcohol and let it dry, use a new sterile needle and syringe, and never share. Get medical help for spreading redness, heat, swelling, pus, fever, numbness or pain that keeps getting worse. This is general reference information from standard nursing injection guidance, not medical advice; a pharmacist or nurse can show you the technique in person.
