Ok - Thanks for the quick replies! I just ordered from HCG Bottle. (Thanks, Annja!) Price is reasonable and free shipping.
Now I'm kind of getting excited again. I've been bummed out about what to do. It's hard eating this way and not seeing any losses.
The website says they ship within two days, so I'll eat P3 this week and probably start P2 again next Monday.

What do you think? - - since the fake drops didn't have hcg in them anyway, I wonder if I need to do vlcd for two days without the drops. I'm thinking it doesn't matter and since I've been craving a chef's salad (with cheese and ranch) in a bad way -- I think I'm going to eat one tomorrow. It's still low carb. Can't hurt - maybe put me in a stall? Oh wait - I'm already in an eight day stall.. LOL

Can you do a search for your brand on here and see what others have done? It really doesn't seem like you could jeopardize anything, but I'm scared to break rules...well, some rules!

Eta, they fit! Now I want them baggy.
If you haven't had hcg, then you do not need to wait for it to leave your system. Proceed directly to p3 and stay there until you are ready to resume.

What brand are your drops? I remember hearing about some non-HCG "HCG" drops from GNC or somewhere like that.

Bottle says "Essential source" and in all CAPS: "H C G" . I bought them online from Vitaminshoppe.com. Sure fooled me with the label.
Ingredients: Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) Emulation Complex. Emulation Complex!?!? WTH??

You're certainly not the first one to get these drops by mistake. A quick search revealed someone else in your shoes. She was told (by Grammy!) that she didn't need to "wash out" OR do P3, since those drops are just a blend of amino acids, meant to imitate the appetite-suppression part of HCG! Can you say BACON! I'm so sorry you had to go through you, but aren't you impressed with yourself? I'm not sure I'd hold out that long with extended stalls.
AFM: I swear I wash out faster than anyone I've ever met. I took my last drops Sunday night and last night I was ravenous, after eating all my food. So I had a bit extra greek yogurt. Down a bit this morning, so I'm hanging on. Had breakfast an hour and half ago and am hungry again! I know I have a fast metabolism normally (I'm just good at out-eating it!) so I may have to up my calories by supper, like I have other rounds. I'll try to hold out. :/
Have a great day!

Hang in there! Being hungry isn't fun - it's not just in your head. Soon you can have P3 foods - that should help tons.

New drops are on their way.

And I'm back. It was a lovely interruption. Grad was emotional and the bridal shower was delicious. No, I didn't stick to P3...
How are the rest of you doing?
Cindy: Did your drops come? I'm using a new shipment and they taste different! Weird.
Have a great day!

I haven't checked-in in awhile. I have been having a horrible round. I had an 11 day stall and my hunger has been out of control so I have been tinkering with my dose. I was taking 15 drops, now I down to 7 drops (not all at one time). Leez helped me with adjusting my dose. Yesterday hunger was non-existent, today I am feeling ravenous again, WTH!. My husband keeps telling me he thinks I have bad drops but Annja you are doing so well on them that I don't think that is the case? The HCGBottle drops that I am taking don't taste anything like the drops I have used in the past. In fact, they really don't have much of a taste at all. I know the company says they are using a different fulfillment center - I just wonder if they changed something in the formula and hence the reason for my hunger, lack of losses, and major stall...
Don't tell me that!
The bottle I opened yesterday is definitely sweeter than my previous bottles and doesn't have the "burn" that just about eats your tongue out that I remember from other bottles.
My initial drop was probably just a result of eating clean and getting rid of all the garbage I consumed during my PI, so we'll see what happens going forward.
I do know that if I'm ravenous, I don't lose. Sounds strange, but it usually means that I've miscalculated my calories for the day. Are you sure you're eating the right amount? You are very strong indeed, to persevere through an 11 day stall! Hope you see some amazing losses soon.

I know the burn you are talking about and nope, these drops definitely don't burn at all! I keep track of all my foods in a planner so that I make sure I am on track for the day as far as calories and I'm coming in right around 500 every day. Yep, I ate today and I am still feeling beside myself with hunger. This bums me out! I have been drinking a load of water and green tea to try to stave off the hunger but it's not helping. Interesting that you don't lose when hungry. That has to be why I experienced such a long stall. That worries me though because although my stall finally broke, maybe it was only because I had one day where my hunger was under control. I sure hope that my hunger today doesn't mean the beginning of another stall because I will throw in the towel this time. Just not worth starving myself over! Seriously, how can someone NOT lose on 500 cals a day
