I'm on round 2 vlcd 8 and am questioning the potency, integrity and validity of my hhcg drops.

Here are my two main issues: incredible and intense hunger (definitely not mental, i learned the difference in round 1) and horrible headaches - dull throbbing during the day and more intense migraine-like at night.

I had almost no hunger problems in round 1 - more like no appetite and had to keep reminding myself to get the 500 calories in. The headaches (which i knew were from detoxing) faded away after about 5 days. I'm sticking more closely to protocol on this round and am losing more to-date than the last round, but my biggest concern is that I'm losing only due to the vlc diet (thus losing muscle mass) and not the hcg because it's not doing it's thing (burning stored fat and resetting everything) I'm really freaking out here and don't want to have issues with stabilizing in P3 & P4 (did these two phases without a hitch and never went above my LDW in my last round)

Here's the one big difference from my last round: I switched drops. Used Oak Hill brand and lost 18lbs in 24 days (bought this before checking up on their website. When I did their info was so shady and sketchy, almost no mention of the original protocol or how to follow the diet properly - this was a major deciding factor in my descision to switch). My genius bright idea was to switch because I thought I could lose more weight using the other drops. I'm using Health Yourself brand this time (which had a direct link to this website and their information was much more true to Dr Simeon's Protocol - seemed more knowledgeable and legit) and so here I am - hungry, headachy, weak and cranky. still losing weight but don't know if my drops are doing it's thing.

The place where I bought these hhcg drops are allowing me to exchange them for the first bottle I was using. Seems like a no brainer, but I need to know if I should wait it out and give it a little more time, or just go and switch it out? SO SORRY FOR WRITING A BOOK, BUT I JUST NEEDED TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING

THANKS SO MUCH
