HCG and spotting?

emmasmom123 · 09-30-2010, 06:46 AM

Hi everyone!

I am so excited to be a member of this forum, I have been reading all the posts and the wealth of information on here and it has helped SO much already.

I am on VLCD1 today (YAY!), yesterday morning I started spotting. I am on the Birth control pill and am in the middle of a pack...today it seems as if I am full out menstrating? cramping and all

Has anyone else had this experience and what did you do? Did you continue taking your pill?

Thanks everyone
Jenn

Yep, it happens. I just continued taking my pills.

The bad thing for me was, I took a 14 day P3 break and my TOM never showed up, but I attribute that to the HCG and the weight loss. We'll see what happens this month. I'll be off HCG again by the time TOM is due.

This is exactly whats happening with me. I'm on the pill and not due to have a period for another 5 days but started spotting yesterday and woke up this morning with my period and cramps. I guess I will just continue the pill like normal.

I might skip the 4 "sugar pills" and just start the next pack early.

What I found interesting was I also had traces of spotting. I started my first round mid cycle. I think up to yesterday there was a super light spotting. But still there.
I think it is normal. I am not on any birth control or anything. So this has been interesting!

I think I am going to do this too. I have a couple more days of my active birth control pill and TOM would come next week sometime close to VLCD12, but I think I am going to start my next pack right away and skip my period.

The middle of the night last night I woke up with menstral like cramps ( I don't normally get these ) I attribute it to ovulation possibly. I got cramps my first round too, but it didn't last long, luckly no break through bleeding for me.

I started loading today for a new round.. started dosing w/ Rx for the first time today too.... started spotting. The last rounds I have done w/ homeopathic.. spotted all thru. My TOM is not regular. I have the IUD and it seems I either have nothing for a long time or spot for a long time.

I don't know what to do because w/ the Rx I think you are supposed to stop dosing. BUT I will probably start spotting as soon as I start dosing again so I am just going to continue to dose thru my spotting. I don't know what else to do.

If you're ovulating, doesn't that mean you can get pregnant?! Oh dear, please don't tell me I can get pregnant while on this diet (and taking birth control)!!!!

I don't think that the amount of HCG we take would make up more fertile. They do prescribe it for fertility but in really high doses.
