Thread: Continue past 23 injections?

Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Yesterday was my 23rd injection, including the bad/weak vial I originally received. I had planned to extend out to 40 days since I was unsure of the potency of that first vial. I have since lost 12.6# and am below my original goal. On injection day 22, I woke up hungry and had some fatigue. I ate a bit more P2 foods and included half an orange. I also dropped my injection from 100iu to 90iu. Felt a little better but still feelings of chest hunger. Yesterday, inj 23, I was again hungry upon waking and felt general fatigue and weakness. It got better lastnight. Woke this morning to 1.6# loss. Today, I have not been hungry.

My question is should I continue to 30 days? I know Grammy says those that do 30 day rounds are more successful in stabilizing.

I am also scheduled to start TOM on Thursday, which would be 28 injections. My periods are usually late or wonky when on HCG but I do have some crampy feelings in my back. Dr. S says to stop 3 days before your scheduled cycle or extend it past the cycle onset.

Should I complete the 30 injections and just increase my P2 foods until that time? I hope this will be my last round.

I hope I've given enough info. Thank you again!


Update: I just started my period/bleeding/spotting
