I'm not trying to be 'Debbie Downer' or anything but this is just not working out for me. I've lost about 6 pounds in 7 days but I'm so hungry. I've tried and tried to get my dosage right and I can't find it.
I've made it this far with the help of Dexatrim. When the Dexatrim wears off I'm miserable. I'm not craving junk, I'm hungry.

I've even mixed a new batch thinking that it might help me. Nothing. So I wasted about a weeks worth.
It's depressing to think that I've spent a lot of money for this and it doesn't feel like it's doing anything for me.

Right now I'm taking Hucog 5000 and I'm back to .5. I even skipped a day to see what would happen. I feel no different with .5,.6,.7, skip. It's all the same to me.
(In all honesty, I've only given each dose about 2 days to work before I switch.)

I've seen great successes on this forum.
What could I possibly do to make this successful for me as well?

I've had all my blood work done. My thyroid is on the high side of normal. My cholesterol is high. Vit D levels is low.
Don't know if any of that would hinder my success but I just thought I'd throw it out there just in case.

I bought the 'Curves' diet book but I'm not quite ready to abandon this yet.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I'm so sorry...have you lowered your dose? I did like .34....I hate that you're having a hard time because the hcg process shouldn't be miserable

How did you mix your hcg?

**mgsondance** · December 15th, 2010, 09:38 PM

from your comments i'm guessing maybe you're taking pharm-grade hcg sub-lingual? taking a dose of 166 twice a day? mixing the 5000 iu vial with a total of 15 ML of water? if so, i'd jump up to .8. At .7 the dose is 232, and many people now take 250 twice a day.

it's miserable when you're hungry- i know!

Yes, this is correct. I'm sorry I left out important details.

So .8 would be ok? I was thinking that maybe I needed to go lower than .5.
I haven't been feeling any different with any amount so it's hard knowing what to do.

Thanks for the replies!

i would try .8 for a few days. if you don't feel any difference after 2 days i'd do another skip day, and try to be really tuned in as to whether your hunger goes up or down.

How long are you holding it under your tongue?

I hold it for 5 minutes, sometimes longer.

Thanks ladies for your recommendations. I'm up for anything at this point.

I knows this works and I'm hoping I can find a way to get it right for me.
I feel like a big ol' baby.

**grammy1952** · December 16th, 2010, 03:48 PM

5-10 minutes is long enough. I just wanted to make sure you weren't holding it for 20.

I am having a hard time holding my HCG Platinum drops under my tongue without my mouth filling up with saliva!!! Is it suppose to be like that... I tried with my tongue up and even holding air, trying not to talk... by the 5th minute a have a gulp of HCG and saliva... Is it being absorbed even with all the saliva secretion going on in my mouth???
Any comments are appreciated!!
I also want to know if it matters if I take the drops and eat after an hour.... or so.... I am suuuper new

and a bit confused!!
Got my drops in GNC mixed with L caritine and stuff...

**grammy1952** · December 19th, 2010, 06:32 PM

Eating an hour later is a good idea.

Especially for anything strong tasting like coffee.

I've heard others say that about the saliva. I've never had that trouble with homeopathic remedies but as long as you don't swallow, it will absorb in about a minute.

Then its ok to swallow at 2-3 min??
Otherwise it takes longer for body to absorb?? In that case I should wait longer to eat??
Is there a relationship between the body absorbing the drops and eating??
If drops not absorbed properly then when u eat HCG wont do "its thing" accurately??
Anyone??

Thanx!
