WHEN do you take your hhcg?

ellenalesa · 07-26-2011, 08:21 AM

I am using pellets. I take 3 when I get up, so I can have breakfast 15 minutes later (usually, it's more). So I take them before breakfast, but it's not always before lunch and dinner. In fact, I usually take them AFTER dinner, because I like to eat by 7:30 at the latest, and I want the drops to curb any after-dinner hunger.

Does this make a difference in losses and/or hunger control?

I'm actually doing fine w/hunger (but I"m rogue). My biggest challenge is "head hunger".

Wigglesmom · 07-26-2011, 08:39 AM

I've been taking them at 7am, 3pm and 9pm. The timing seems to work for me fine. I take 3 pellets at each time but tried 4/4/3 but didn't see much of a difference in hunger so i went back to 3/3/3.

Does anyone know if it affects your losses if you take more than the recommended 3 pellets? I noticed my losses slowed down when I was experimenting with more than 3.

I do fine while busy at work but I still battle the head hunger when I get home, stressed or tired.

I have prescription drops and do them when I wake up and after dinner. That seems to work fine for me, spaces them about 12 hrs apart (per the instructions on my prescription) and is convenient.

Intermountain drops. 8 drops 3 x a day at 8 am, 2, pm and 8pm.

I use Intermountion pellets and take 3 at 7:00, 11:00, 2:00 and 9:00 p.m.

Usually always after meals. 10:30a, 2:30p and 8:30p

I take my Vox pellets at approximately 9 (before brekkie), 2 and 9. I'm pretty erratic about it, though. Trying to get more regular.

Wow!! Lots of variances in times here. I say to take them when you can fit them into your schedule. I know that when I work I end up taking them at different times than when I am home all day. I usually take them around 7AM, 12:30 and again at 5:30PM. But I sometimes veer off that depending on what I do for the day.

7-12-5-10 for me. I usually eat 30 minutes after the first 2 doses cause they make me hungry then. Supper between 7-8.

jnaakins · 07-26-2011, 03:30 PM

I have my phone set to remind me to take them at 8am, noon and 5pm

KrisJ · 07-26-2011, 05:57 PM
