I've almost finished phase 2 of round 2, sublingual hHCG. Same brand both times, WITH HCG.

This happened at almost exactly the same time in round 1...starting at about 3 weeks into phase 2, I start getting very dizzy/lightheaded, but only when standing up from squatting (laundry) or getting up quickly from lying down. I have not passed out...the feeling passes in a few seconds.

I don't believe I'm dehydrated, but I have increased my water intake, my losses are pretty average, and I'm definitely not starving myself. I take several vitamins and supplements, and a couple of prescriptions, but nothing new for over a year. My blood pressure is good, but I haven't checked it lately.

I understand "orthostatic hypotension" - sudden drop in B/P upon standing - and this is most likely my issue, but why now? And why at the same time as on my last round?

I'll be starting phase 3 next week. Last time it passed as soon as I started phase 3, which sounds like it may be calorie-related, or maybe related to lack of fats in my diet.

Any thoughts?

I do see my doc tomorrow for a scheduled check-up, so I'll have my B/P checked. (He doesn't know I've been using HCG or about my weight loss.)

Thanks for any comments/thoughts/ideas!
