Thread: HCG and PCOS

I'm pretty blessed and was able to have children..guess I'll take the face hair over the fertility issues. I've got 3 beautiful children.

I am currently getting the laser treatments. I go in next week for my second treatment. Hoping to see some results!!

I get mine at alldatchemist.com but I hear they no longer sell it. I am worried i will not find it again. You might have to do homeopath but I hear they have stopped that as well. Do google searches for it.

That sounds like me! Metformin was the only reason I was able to have my daughter. We tried for almost 2 years with no luck. I tracked my cycles for a year and a half, that is when I realised that I was getting mine every 16 days and that they lasted between 8 to 12 days, do the math on that! HORRIBLE way to spend your life! When my Dr. prescribed me the metformin I was pregnant within 3 months. he kept me on it until my daughter was born, I went down 2 pants sizes in my 3rd trimester, may daughter was healthy although not the 13 pounds they had estimated. Were you on the depo vera or depo lupron? When I was 22 they put me on depo lupron, this is chemical menopause. I went from weighing about 140 to 235 in less than 8 months, I got severely depressed, was a major moodswing, and just all around un unhappy person. The next step for me on that route is a a hysterectomy which I am now old enough for. Unfortunately when I got my tubes tied I was only 26 so I wasn't old enough or they would have done it. Things I have noticed with me, first off, yes I have been happier since I have lost some of my weight! I have not lost the amount I would like to lose but I lost a lot my first round. I think this is due to me being more motivated to reach my goal the first time. This time I have had a lot of issues not from the HCG but from girlie issues. I haven't stayed true to the diet, this is MY fault, wow, that sucks!
Advice would be to monitor your cycles. I had mine 2 times last month. This is not abnormal for me though, just irritating! when you have cycles that are usually heavy you will find that while on this diet, your iron will drop, that was what we have come to the conclusion on for me. My iron dropped, I turned a weird grayish color, I had been forgetting my vitamins. I wasn't eating iron rich foods though. Chicken and lettuce were not helping me. I started eating my spinach and broccoli ( don't really think this is protocol) but it was either that or get sick. The other thing is to call your OB and just check with them. I have had the same Doc for the past 15 years so all I have to do is call him if I am having any issues. Mine told me yesterday to stop the diet until my body is over all the crap I have going on. I believe that the cyst that I have had since June has a major role in my all around health. My body seems to be a lot more susceptible to illness since it is trying to fight the weird nonsense that cannot decided upon growing or rupturing. As of Sept, it was at 9 CM but it is more like a group if grapes than a sac. the rupturing is super painful and anytime it does this I get sick because of the toxins that are running through me.

I get my period and have even conceived but it never lasts longer than a month. Its been heartbreaking. I've gained about 90 lbs in 8 years. I've tried Atkins, no gluten, Phentermine, shakes. The best luck I've had was with counting calories, carbs and fats on my phone app. I also made a lifestyle change from a desk job to a retail job so I'm forced to be more active. I've lost 30 lbs that way and then stalled. . . For 18 months!

I started the hcg drops 6 days ago. I lost 7 lbs loading!?! and 5 additional lbs this week. My boobs are sore so I know its the real deal. Lol. I know so many people who got pregnant on this diet that I told my husband we have to be careful for the first time ever! I want to lose the weight before getting preggo.. if I do manage to.

I've already noticed some reduction in irregular hair growth!!

I put a shoebox marked "hcg" in the fridge and every night I put the food for the next day in it. That way I know if it's not in the box.. I can't eat it. I cannot cheat! I am bound and determined and tired of being fat and infertile.

Good luck to all my PCOS sisters! The app I use is MyFitnessPal app on Android market. Its amazing.

So happy for you! Yes I too have pcos and this is the best diet for me as well. Just finished my 2nd round. I am now in P3. I ovulated and got pregnant my first round. My second round I was hoping that would happen but it didn't. If you want a baby I suggest you do not be careful and if one comes then be happy and lose the rest after the baby. I say this because what if hcg is the ONLY thing that will help you conceive? You do not want to miss that oppurtunity just to lose more weight first. You now know about hcg and you know it will be there when you need it.

I know where to get some from. PM me.
