Hcg and mentruation

Hello, my period is coming this Friday. I was wondering if I count the 6 days of my period as part of my 40 days on hcg or pause my days and when my period is over continue from the day before my period started. Please let me know. Thanks.

From what I've read you are supposed to follow protocol as normal, count those days and do not take your hcg meds suring that 6 day period, you will not need it... but continue on your 500 calorie diet. Resume hcg when its over. I have heard that taking hcg during your period could cause you to have a syndrome that prolongs your period. This was from my docs office.

What kind of hcg are you taking...prescription or homeopathic?

I am taking HHcg and have never stopped my drops during TOM...nor have I had any long cycles (normally about 4-5).

Hi All,

It's my understanding that if you are taking the homeopathic drops you don't need to stop taking them. Carry on!

I'm taking the injections and doc says to not take the shots for the 2 heaviest days of your period, which are usually day 2 and 3 for me. You always remain on the 500 cal. until phase 2 is completed.

I know that I would NOT stop taking the hcg for that long. The hcg (if you are doing the Rx) stays in your system for 72 hours. That is the max I would take a break of the hcg. If you are doing the homeopathic I highly suggest NOT stop dosing. I dosed through TOM on my first round and no issues whatsoever. I did stop on my first 2 days of TOM in my 2nd round to see what would happen. I was hungry for the rest of the round. I have not stopped during TOM since that 2nd round. I am on round #8 today!!!

Wow, I don't know what to do. I have 24 more days I can't just start feeling hungry. I'll never make it. Although I have a heavy period and it last 6 days. should I maybe go off for the first 3 days and go back on on the 4th? I am not taking homeopathic. I am taking RX.

I believe C'Marie is doing Rx also. I would ask her advice since she has done more than a few rounds herself!! Good luck!!

Um, start dosing again? What can it hurt? Also, is it true hunger or just the munchies? Think about your scale reading +5 pounds next time you reach for an m&m. It's simple visulization but it works for me!
