But in any of this time have you been less hungry?

I can't see you needing to go higher than 200iu unless something is really wrong with the mix.

You didn't say how many days you've been on so far.

I guess you could take a leap of faith and go down to 125iu for a few days. If no better do a skip, if no better then it's got to mean you need higher.

Hi Australian, my losses seem to be pretty consistent no matter how the doses go, so that's a good thing.

See if Beth can help with your dose. I'm nervous about feeling hungry because I've read here on the forums that hunger all the way through can make stabilizing more difficult. Otherwise I'd just forget about finding that perfect dose and ignore the hunger and power through.

I did post over on your original thread just before going to bed And yes, I do stay up too late. I LOVE staying up (classic night owl) and I have to force myself into bed every night, even though I'm happy once I'm there.

My doses have been 150, 150, 150, 100, skip, 110, 125, 125, 125, 115, 115, 115, skip, 105. Yesterday was the skip day and there was no significant change in my hunger either way, but today I felt great. Does that mean it took longer than one day for the hcg level to fall to a good spot? So that going down in dose today was definitely a good thing to do? If the hunger returns tomorrow, then, what would that mean? (because it's midnight and I can feel some hunger beginning to kick in
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

How is the lower dose going for you Tess??

If its any help LadySmart, Both Tess and I are on much lower doses.
I was prescribed 150iu and was surprised when I felt hungry on loading. I am on 115 at present and Tess I think 105. SImeons dose was only 125iu so I don't know why clinics prescribe such high doses.
But I understand your fear, I was scared I would be more hungry if I dropped my dose or skipped, but, surprising, I was much less hungry.

Well, yesterday was my second day on the lower dose and I did feel hunger again, unlike the first day, but Beth said I need to wait at least three days to see if this is the right number for me or not. Complicating things is that TOM showed up today and I'm always more hungry on that day. Thanks for asking! How are you doing?

I have a few questions that I forgot to ask when at the clinic on Thursday!

1. How do you count the days? 40 days from loading, or from starting vlcd? And do you count the skip days ( thinking yes to that one).

2. Does everyone not do injections during TOM? I feel like I have read conflicting info, and of course, forgot to ask dr and I left all my information sheets at my office.

Thanks in advance! I'm sure more questions will Rise but so far have been lucky in finding the answers in other threads.
