Thread: Sublingual - Just did my first dose.

Nope, you did it right. The saliva will accumulate, but don't worry about it. All the while the HCG is still being absorbed through the mucus membranes. In fact, I absorb far more than I thought I would and I had to drop my dose way way down. Then give it all a good swish around your mouth and swallow. Good to go!

I kept having to drop my dose down because I was experiencing some hunger and slight headachiness. I started at 175iu 2x per day, and about 7 days into that I started feeling hunger. I skipped a night dose and felt better, so that told me I needed to go down. I've ultimately dropped all the way down to 66.4iu per dose now and feel great, although each time I dropped my dose down by .5ml I felt better on the new dose for a short period. The idea behind dosing twice a day on sublingual is that your body is not getting as much per dose as it would if you were doing the injections, so you up the dose to make sure you get enough in your system. I was consistently getting too much with the double dose. In fact, Dr. S reccomends 125iu per day for dosing on injections so I'm getting about 132iu per day now, just splitting it into 2 doses. It seems to me that my body has no trouble absorbing and I don't need to take more to ensure my body gets enough.

If you feel hunger, I highly reccomend skipping a dose to gauge. If you feel better when you skip a dose, it's too much. If you feel worse when you skip, you need to increase.

Also maybe try holding the drops longer under your tongue. This also helps. Good luck!
