Hi guys I am new here. Here is the deal: I am on R1 P2 D6 of VLCD (day 8 of injections). I am taking Rx HCG injections in my stomach fat. I mixed the HCG with 8.25 BW. I started at 150 iu (which is 25 on my insalin suringe) but I was so hungry all the time that I went down to 125IU, I have been on that now yesterday and today and I am still hungry. The huger varies from mild to starving through out the day. I need some advice about what to do. Here is a typical day of eatting for me, I do spread my food out. I also drink 85 to 100 oz of water a day.
apple 1 melba toast 3.5 oz chicken with salt and pepper a bowl of cucumber with white viniger and salt

1 melba toast 3.5oz chicken with salt and pepper 1 or 2 small tomato
i'm assuming it was a vial of 5000 iu's, and it was powdered? (not pre-mixed) Your food is fine, although i would eat a greater variety to mix things up a bit. but that would affect your losses more than your hunger. i'd increase your dose to 175, which would be .29 on your syringe so you'll have to guestimate where that is. do you think you're more hungry at 125 than you were at 150? generally we'd have someone skip a day to see which way to adjust, but since we generally don't see anyone below 125, i'm assuming your dose has to go up. what brand are you taking? if hucog, we generally advise people to start at 175 for that brand.
Teresa, Glad you made it over here, there were so harsh at the other group, ouch! See that is what they would tell you, up it to 175. I don't know what Terri was thinking in the other group. 175 is the next step. They should have had you try that first before dropping down to 125, it's too low for subcutaneous, thanks for coming to this group, your gonna love it here.
mgsondance~ Yes it is a 5000 IU Vial and yes it was powder. I feel like at 124iu and 150iu it was about the same as far as huger goes. I have no idea what brand it is. It just says HCG 5000 on the label. I did test it with a preg test and it was positive so I know it is HCG. I know with other medications I usually have to take double what other people have to take to get the same results, maybe this is no differant.? I will take the 175IU this am.
Ellie~ thank you! That other group is so harsh sometimes.It is hard to get an answer to a question.
I often see more hunger when the stuff is mixed so potent too. Next time you mix, you might put in more water. I put a total of 20 ml of water in a 5000 iu vial. Hope that new dose fixes you up!
happy- give the 175 dose 3 days and see how you're feeling. if still hungry, increase to 200. people sometimes need more of the powdered hucog than the pre-mixed.
So far I feel really good. Hunger has been pretty low to nothing all morning. Other than the boiling in my stomach. It is like I have gas or need to go to the bathroom but neither is happening, lol. So I dont know what that is about. It has been doing it along I just didnt really pay attention to it...lol the hunger was masking it. any ideas on that?
