Thread: Adjusting Intermountain pellets?

For homeopathic hhcg, the taper of dose overlap is 2 days (48 hours), so by your third dose day, you have reached your full dose. You can change dose at this point.

To make sure your dose is too high and not too low, you can do a skip day tomorrow. Skip your first 2 doses, and by early evening, you should have your answer and be able to adjust accordingly.

You can go down to 1 pellet 3X a day safely if that is what is needed. Your intervals look fine.

Thanks so much Leez! I will skip tomorrow morning/afternoon and get a read on where I’m at. And good to know I can safely go down to 1 3x/day if that is what skipping tomorrow tells me, which I suspect it will based on my history, but given I’m also a weird subject it will be interesting to see which way the pendulum swings. I just ate dinner and the apple and same issue as lunch, still hungry. Not unbearably so - but it’s there - and I know from injections what it feels like when it’s “right” and this isn’t it.

Another question: any interactions with hhcg and thyroid meds? I take armour with additional t3 and searched but I couldn’t find anything related to contraindications with thyroid meds so I figured I’d ask now while I’m thinking of it.

Thanks again for your help/guidance.

HCG can elevate thyroid levels and some find they can lower their thyroid meds during P2. I don't know if that holds true for hhcg though. Be aware of that possibility should you notice any hyper signs like heart palps, jitters or nervousness.

Most people don't have any issues though, its just something that can happen with HCG.

Since your hunger is not unbearable, you might not need to cut your dose by half. (Should you need
reducing by what your skip day shows) if you find your hunger resolves tomorrow evening, you might want to consider not dropping quite so much. You could try 1 pellet 4x a day, for instance.

Thank you! I did have to cut my T3 at one point when I first started adding that to the armour so I will keep an eye out for that this time too.

So if I were to go to 4x/day what would you suggest the intervals be/how many hours between should I try to space it out or what schedule would you suggest?

Take one on rising, one before bed and split the inbetween time by 3 to get the other 2 times. Basically, spread them throughout your waking day. So something like 8am -12pm -5pm- 10pm

or you could keep the 3x a day schedule and just add one pellet to either the morning or evening dose. You may have to play around with it a bit. There's not right answer that fits everyone.

Again, THANK YOU! This is all new to me and confusing to figure out when you fall outside the norm. “I miss injections” is something I never thought I’d say lol

MrsWoody, good luck on your pellet journey. I have some new pellets, but haven't done them in years and years. Hope you get the dose down correctly.

So much is said, that injectable hcg may not be available in 2022, I am assuming these restrictions would not affect accessibility of pellets and homeopathic hcg?

Thanks Dubbles, I appreciate it. I hope I get the dose down correctly too, this is a big new learning curve after getting injections and the mixing and adjusting process down pat. I’m finishing up lunch and feeling better than yesterday, but we’ll see what the rest of the afternoon brings. This feels like symptoms that I generally have on a too high dose of rx, but I’m trying to keep an open mind and not jump to conclusions in case I’m wrong. I hope you’re able to get your dose correct easily since it’s been awhile since you used them. It’s amazing how easy this can be when your dose is right!

I know there has been a lot said about the availability and that is a VERY good question since the “real” hhcg has some HCG in it. It would stand to reason that if HCG isn’t available for anything other than fertility there would be an impact downstream, but given the shelf life of pellets I wonder if that won’t be seen/felt until further on down the line when whatever stock Intermountain and others have is depleted. This protocol has helped and continues to help so many, it would be awful if it ceased to exist as an option - especially for those of us who can’t lose any other way.

Leez - taking a read on where I am at after skipping morning and afternoon doses and I’m confused. I realized today that I have never had hunger from too low of a dose, only too high, so I don’t know how to compare with where I am at now. I definitely felt better after lunch today but could have easily eaten more and I’m hungry, my tummy is a little grumbly, and I’m thinking about food and watching the clock to see if it’s reasonable to eat dinner yet. None of which happens when my dose is right. Should I have dinner (it’s not quite 4pm here) and wait a little longer to see how I feel later? I’m not due for my evening dose, based on my initial “schedule”, for another 4.5 hours. I’m thinking I should maybe stick to that and take 2 then try 1 in the morning and afternoon doses so I don’t cut all the way in half. Thoughts?

Is 4pm your normal eating time? If you eat at your normal time and are still hungry in the evening, that indicates you need to go up not down.

If that is the case, increase your evening dose tonight and add a pellet to each dose tomorrow.

Just because you always needed to reduce before doesn't mean that will hold true this time. You are already starting at a lower dose than normal, yes? I think regular dose is 3 pellets, 3X day. You would be just increasing to a normal dose.
