    Someone suggested having a thread for questions only- so that the "vets" (or others) can come to your aid if you can't find the answer you need.

    PLEASE- read the original protocol, "pounds and inches" FIRST. The link is in the upper L corner of the page. Then go to the "search" bar at the top of the page and enter "newcomer". 95% of your questions should be answered within those 2 references. This is information you should have before you get started on this protocol- otherwise you may become overwhelmed. If you have a question about a particular subject, try doing a search for it and reading prior posts- most likely someone else has had the same question along the way.

    If you still have a miscellaneous question, post it here and someone will try to answer it. If i see the same question popping up, i'll include the answer somewhere in the "newcomer" series.

    If this thread starts to fall off the first page, will someone please bump it back up? our site master seems to have disappeared... when she contacts me again we are going to try to get some permanent threads posted.

    thanks! we're trying to make this process as efficient as we can for everyone, without re-inventing the wheel.

    This may be a stupid question but what do I do with my needle (sharps?) container.
    Where can I take it.
    I don't just throw it in the garbage do I?
    The Dr. gave it to me but didn't tell me what I should do with it when it's full.
    Since I have no intention of going back to him I won't call him to ask.
    He has very much annoyed me.Was suppose to have mailed my hcg to me on a thurs.
    but didn't till Mon.

    Question on timing...I have about 100 to lose total. I am round 1. Since I have so much to lose do I have to do the 40 day cycle or should I? Right now I started for 40 but life has gotten in the way..looks like now I need to do a 26 day cycle...am I going to hate myself...should I just figure out how to do the 40...will I be able to stabilize in P3 if I shorten myself?

    Thnks, LA

    mountaingirl - look online and search google for "sharps container disposal" -- there are many options. one of my local hospitals takes containers and disposes of them for you for a $5 fee. You can also mail them to various places for disposal.
    Good luck...LA

    newsingle- you can do any length rounds between 23 and 40 days, and can vary the length each time according to what fits best into your schedule. i find the shorter rounds are easier on my body and my loss/day is higher- plus they're mentally easier to do, and i think you're less likely to have immunity problems. i started at 240 and i've lost 82# in 8 mo- you can, too!

    stabilization is no problem as long as you go for at least 23 days- Dr. S. says this is the minimum amount of time to re-set the hypothalamus.

    Mountaingirl, most states allow the home sharps user to dispose of their sharps in the regualar trash as long as they place them in a rigid container, such as a 2 liter pop bottle, or I use a large vitaimin bottle, then secure it with duct tape. Some places suggest you put some bleach in the bottom of the container and write medical waste on the container. Barb
