Thread: Switching brand of drops question. TIA!

I ordered new drops from intermountain that contain the hcg and began taking them today, 8/17 15 drops 3xday and I am absolutely starving to the point that I am having pains in my stomach and I a horrible headache. Is this happening because I switched drops on VLCD 3 without weaning off of the "fake" drops? Should I reload again? If so, should I continue taking my intermountain drops during that time? I appreciate any help you can give.

Did you eat alot of sweets on your load days? For me when I did, that is where the headaches came from but I wasn't starving and I never had stomach pains.
Did you test the your new drops on a "dollar store" pregnancy test to confirm that they contain HCG?
Did you do your research? I researched HCG for 3 weeks before I started - YouTube, blogs and various forums, etc.

I've never heard of Intermountaion but that doesn't mean they aren't the real thing.

If the NiGen drops were fake there shouldn't be any "weaning" that you need to do. Your symptoms could truly be from you not eating enough food because none of the drops have real HCG and you ARE starving.

I hope you find out what's going on before you continue.

Unfortunately, I didn't due as much research as I thought I had. Just so happens that I have a dollar store test so I will give it a try with my new drops. I was just concerned that I loaded while taking the fake drops, so I wasn't sure if that is why I'm having trouble with hunger now while taking the new brand.

Have you had success with the intermountain? I am going to try reloading and hopefully that helps.

You need to talk to Grammy to help find your correct dose. That is most likely why you're hungry. Your dose is probably too high, makes you very hungry, and I have had a head ache during the first week of both rounds. She can tell you to skip a day and then what dose to start with.
