Drops, injections - what do you do? How often?

julieboolie · 09-04-2010, 10:29 PM

Hi! Me again, newbie with lots of questions! :blush:

I am doing the homeopathic drops, 6 drops, 6 times a day. What are you all doing? I'm not looking for where you got them, etc., and want to support the site's rules, but for comparison, are you mostly taking the drops too? are you doing a higher dose? I read a few injections, but how about the rest of you?

Thanks again!

paulabob · 09-05-2010, 05:04 AM

I did the RX. Started at 175 iu, then switched to 125 halfway thru my round.

I'm about to start the drops this Friday. My bottle says, six times a day, 6 drops.

However, I've also read 15 drops, 3 times a day. Would love to hear what my LCF peeps do with their drops!

tempted_by_food · 09-05-2010, 05:26 AM

I did the drops my bottle also stated 6 drops 6 times aday but I take 10 drops 3 times daily it works out better, make sure you tap the bottom of the bottle 10 to 15 times to activate them before you take them, goodluck!!!

j4Christ · 09-05-2010, 06:44 AM

I am also doing hhcg. My bottle said 6 drops 6/day. But I do 12 drops 3/day and it seems to be working just fine. I could never remember 6/day and keep up with the no food/drink 15 min. before and after thing!!! Best to you Julie!!

catzrule · 09-05-2010, 06:50 AM

I also do 12 drops, 3x a day. My bottle said 6 drops, 6x a day too. It seems to be ok for me.

KOO · 09-05-2010, 09:15 AM

M's drops say 7-10 drops 3X a day, so she has been doing the 10. She just started yesterday. For those who have been through the loading, did you allow yourselves Diet Cokes on loading days?

tempted_by_food · 09-05-2010, 09:20 AM

Koo...diet cokes are fine on loading days.

MtherGoos · 09-05-2010, 09:25 AM

Koo, for me, I DEFINITELY allowed Diet Pepsi on my load days!! I didn't want to give it up any sooner than I had to!!

I take 10 drops 3 times a day!!

Tyl · 09-05-2010, 09:26 AM

i take 10 drops 3x/day

That is her also. The Caffeine withdrawal is going to be a bad hit on her if she tries to drink water and not iced tea.

The caffeine hit was the worst part for me. The first day wasn't too bad, but the 2nd and 3rd days were horrible. Extreme headache, chills, sweating. It was a serious case of withdrawl that I hadn't expected. But, I had been having at least 6-8 diet pepsis a day, every day, for the last 30 years! :blush: Hopefully her problem with it won't be as bad.

Yes, I am hoping it doesn't hit her in school. I may make sure she drinks enough tea during the week and if she wants to give up the tea she can wean off of it on next Friday and have the weekend to recover at home.

tempted_by_food · 09-05-2010, 09:43 AM

I was a diet coke fanatic I drank 2 or 3 a day when low carbing lol I am suprised how easy I found giving it up on P2 I have only had one in 30 days so it can be done and I dont even miss it now.

walkingwoman · 09-05-2010, 10:34 AM

My first bottle of drops said 10 drops 3xper day and I did them that way. 2nd bottle said 6x6 but I continued using the 10x3 instead. Both worked equally well

Stevie Renee · 09-25-2010, 11:41 AM

What hours did you guys do the 10x3?

MtherGoos · 09-25-2010, 01:21 PM

I do mine about 8:30 in the morning, which is when I first get to work, about 1:30 in the afternoon, and again about 6:30 in the evening. It just works for me because then I can leave them at work and just take them there every day and not have to carry them back and forth.

MelissaBee · 09-25-2010, 02:09 PM

Yikes. I hadn't given a lot of thought to transporting my drops back and forth to work. Is it true that a drop is a drop is a drop? Meaning, would a drop from something else be the same size as a drop from the dropper? If so, maybe I can put some of the HCG in a little bottle to carry with me so I can dose at work. I would hate to have to carry this glass bottle back and forth to work everyday. I don't think I can work around dosing at both home AND work. Maybe I can purchase an empty bottle with a dropper from a pharmacy. Has anyone done anything like this or do you just carry it with you?

I usually start taking my drops at 6AM (that way when I get up at 7 I can have my coffee right away!!); 12 noon and then again around 5:30 PM, just before eating dinner. On days I work the closing shift at Starbucks I don't take my last dose til 8:30PM or later.

French · 09-28-2010, 07:44 AM

I'm not as consistent as I would like...but I've been taking first drops around 9:00 - 10:00 (after coffee, teeth brushing and sometimes after eating a piece of fruit), then 2:00 - 3:00 (after lunch) and then 8:00 - 9:00 (after dinner).

I'm sure I should be taking them before eating but I had read that coffee and "mint" can negatively impact absorbtion/effectiveness of the drops. So I like to make good and sure I haven't had either in at least an hour. Which then puts me "off" schedule the rest of the day with the eating.

tempted_by_food · 09-28-2010, 07:45 AM

french....I took mines in the same time frame as you and it worked well.

catzrule · 09-28-2010, 08:03 AM

I do mine at 7am, 1:30pm and 7pm

Thanks for posting this! Good to know.

M takes her drops at 8am, 4:15pm and midnight

The directions on my first bottle actually stated "take before meals". That is why I drop first and then eat!!! When I dose as early as 6AM it is an hour until I get up and get to my coffee. Then I brush my teeth about 2-3 hours later. But then again, I stay at home with my little one most mornings!!!! So not much going on til later in the day. You definitely have to work around your schedule!!! And any way to get them in AND remember is good!!

Stevie Renee · 09-28-2010, 12:11 PM

Interesting

The one day I tried to do 10x3, I noticed my hunger showing up so I switched back to 6x6. It may be all in my head. lol

droy · 09-28-2010, 12:26 PM

Not sure how much I help I will be

but I take one injection first thing in the morning and that is it.

emmasmom123 · 10-01-2010, 11:20 AM

Wow! My bottle says take 10 drops x 6 times per day...that sounds like so much compared to everyone else

MtherGoos · 10-01-2010, 11:29 AM

Maybe yours are a different strength? I think they are all different.

DaisyMarie · 10-01-2010, 02:49 PM

My instructions for hhcg is 22 drops (a dropper-full) 2x a day. Once when you get up and sometime after 4PM. I am not drinking anything right now so I can dose at 5PM. Also taking a dropper full of B12 2x a day that they sent with the drops.
