Tested my Ovidac brand HCG from Reliablerx

DaveK22 · Mar 2, 2018

I've been suspect about the Ovidac brand HCG from reliablerx. My testicles didn't to seem to be that full (doing 500 iu E3.5D) so I have been wondering.

So I picked up a pregnancy kit at the dollar store. Assuming a preg test from the dollar store is reliable lol It seems like it was a negative result. Neg is 1 line appearing, positive is 2 lines.

When I tested, I saw 1 line come in very strong. The second line was VERY faint. So I assume the test is negative...meaning my HCG is junk.

Anyone else test their Ovidac HCG?

ive read that that test is bunk, and others say it's the only way to go so it's tough to know which is true or not.

Try water on one of those to see which line shows up anyway. One of them is just an indicator that the strip is saturated. Which one,the light or dark line in your test the pregnancy indicator?

Interesting. Maybe Nelson or others can chime in on the pregnancy test in general.

Two lines, even a faint one, on a pregnancy test indicates that there is HCG present in your urine.

So, even though there is no urine...this appears to be legit HCG? I did another test today...this time using 10 units of HCG (w/ BAC water). I def got another 2nd line but it is still less pronounced than the first line.

Come to think of it isn't that what they tell the females, even a faint line or other indicator is a positive?

The second redline indicates the presence of HCG, it doesn't matter if it's in urine or sterile water. I said it indicated the presence of HCG in your urine because I thought (assumed) you did the test with your urine.

Bottom line, when you get the second line, HCG is present. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's truly "legit", the only way to do that is via a laboratory analysis. Your batch could be underdosed or if you used to much water when reconstituting it, your concentration could be off, resulting in a weaker dose.

Are you 100% sure you reconstituted the HCG with the correct amount of water?

I'm very skilled in mixing. I use 5,000 vials & dose 500 iu. I mix so I do .3ml per shot. So my 2nd test, I used .1ml (or 1/3 of my dose) in the pregnancy test which should have had ~167 iu of HCG total.

Find a friend who is pregnant, talk her into testing your dollar general strip, see what it looks like.

There is another thread on this and lots of HCG users said it worked fine while the pregnancy test showed it as negative. So they concluded it wasn't a good way to determine if it works or not. Do you know what your E2 sensitive is? Because if my E2 goes up I find that HCG has no effect on me... get my E2 where is should be and HCG works fine. I'm currently using Ovidac from ReliableRx and it's working fine for me.

Ovidac was on sale at ReliableRx Pharmacy last week. I don't know if it is still on sale today.
