Thank you for the quick reply! Hmm, I figured I should lower it since I was ok during the day and got hungry at night but guess I was just confused. I should've checked with you first!! I'll get a pregnancy test tomorrow and will test it. Should I increase my morning dose since I'll probably do my injection before I get to the store to buy the test?

Thank you!

Usually when you are hungrier at night that means you're not getting enough hcg. So that can be a potency issue also. The only time you lower your dose is if you feel better after 4 pm.

It sounds like you need to raise the dose or get a new bottle of hcg then since you were hungrier at night.

Hi Grammy I started hcg 12 days ago using hcg injections from ***overseas pharmacy***. I had 2 bottles of 2000 units but when I went to mix second batch nothing was in the bottle! I called the pharmacy and they apologized but I'm out and unsure what happened. do you know where I can place a order that will arrive next week. What about Us hcg or Nu Image?

I'm sure either would be fine.

Money maker. Definitely try us hcg shots or new edge hcg. You can look up their websites. Both are reputable pharmacies and have expedited shipping options. And the first one I think has a discount for first time buyers. If you can't find the option to upgrade the shipping on the website call them. I think it takes a day for the doctor to review and then it ships out. You can choose overnight or 2nd day. Good luck.

Grammy, my Dr did agree to change my thyroid meds from synthroid 175mcg to Armour 120mg. Both the Dr and the pharmacist said to take it at the same time I was taking synthroid-first thing in the am along with my Premarin .625mg...one said with food the other said 4hours after food? I looked on STTM website and got REaLLY confused!! there it said to cut the tab and take part in the AM and the rest in the afternoon...and to NOT take it at same time as estrogen, vitamins, or food. and it said to chew the pill instead of swallowing it with water... It also said that some natural thyroid meds come in drops-do you know if Armour does? And what is your recommendation on when/how to take the Armour? the labs and results he ordered were: TSH,S-<0.01mIU/L. Thyroglobulin, Tumor Marker, S-<0.1 ng/mL. Thyroglobulin Antibody,S <1.8 IU/mL
I'm not seeing Free T3 or Free T4.... My bloods were drawn Friday-should I call him tomorrow to see if they can run those additional tests on stored serum? Ain't sure appreciate your advice on all this-it is Greek to me

You should take it on an empty stomach. Yes, I'd ask them to do free T3 and free T4. And Premarin is the very worst estrogen you can be on! If you aren't taking bioidentical hormone creams or drops, estrace is a better option but you need real progesterone with it. The name brand doctors will prescribe in pill form is Prometrium. Estrogen should never be taken without balancing it with progesterone.
