I used homeopathic pellets for both my rounds from the same place. My first round went well and I stabilized perfectly without any correction days and the re-shaping was amazing! My second round was much harder- not hunger, but cravings that I didn't have on the first round and more stalls with longer stalls. I am not far enough into R2P3 to know how the stabilizing and reshaping will go yet. I have one more round to do for the last 20 pounds. Any advice on whether I should stay with the pellets (I have another bottle left) that have helped me lose 57 pounds, or switch to rx for an easier time on R3?

Has anyone had better results with one type over the other? Or maybe had a better subsequent round after changing methods of taking hcg?
I appreciate any advice- thank you!

Subsequent rounds are just plain and simple harder. If you already own the pellets I and they aren't expired I would use them. I don't think Rx is any easier. I actually did them my first round, did hhcg all the rest (drops and patches) and didn't notice much difference in the methods at all. I prefer the hhcg so I stuck with it.

Good luck!

Does it matter how much time there is in between rounds?

I did hhcg drops my first round & rx subq injections my second (I'll also be doing rx for my 3rd, since I have more bottles).

I found that on my first & second rounds, I lost the same 'average' weight per day (.75 lbs). The differences I've noticed:
Round one, it seems I lost most of the weight but very few inches during P2. P3, everything seemed to have 'sucked in'. Where I lost inches during stabilization.
Round two, I was shrinking during the active weight loss phase. I've not really lost any inches (other than 'tightening up') during this P3.

I've had a harder time stabilizing this round - but I don't think it has anything to do with the method of hcg/hhcg delivery. I'm fairly certain it is because I ate a giant hunk of bread on day 2 of P3 (naughty, naughty, & dumb) and I've been bouncing up and down ever since. (Only twice bouncing above the +2 LIW.)

Like Haveasmile said, if you've got the pellets, and you've been doing well with them, I'd just stick with what you have.
(& yes, subsequent rounds get harder & harder - mostly because you're not quite as "shiny & motivated". )

From what I have learned.... Real HCg will not make you loose weight faster or more of it.... It will help with your hunger. The main thing that it does it makes you burn fat and not muscle or bone. The homeopathics do not do that. When you are on a stravation diet (like the VLCD) you will loose lots of bone and muscle which of course is not good. The HCG makes you burn all fat when on a starvation diet so you do not loose bone or muscle. Thats why I think it is crazy to do a starvation diet on homeopathic hcg or nothing at all....

Both my husband and I have had successful rounds with hhcg and I am a believer in homeopathics (I lost 18lbs in 23 days, my husband lost 35 in 23 days). We were not hungry, not weak (to indicate loss of muscle), and my husband is stabilizing wonderfullly. I, on the other hand, am on another round. I am beginning with the homeopathic, and just got my rx drops to mix today, so will be switching over to the rx drops. Only reason I'm switching is to see if there will be a difference- and because I bought it from a friend on the cheap side because she had extra. Curious to see if I notice any significant differences.

I chose Rx method for the ease of injecting once per day and because I wanted rx product vs hhcg. As the other posters have said, subsequent rounds are more difficult, especially round 2. I was rogue on R2 and gained all my weight back. I followed protocol on R3, got to goal and have stablized perfectly. I'm going into my 5th week of maintenance. Personally I would only do hhcg if that was all I could get, but a lot of people do well with it so it seems to work. I think it really just comes down to preference.

thanks for the input. I guess I will stay with hhcg since I have the bottles- they dont expire until 2013

I think it does matter how long in between rounds. I think Dr. Simeon's suggested times were so you didn't become immune to hcg, but also to give your body a break also. Our bodies need some time to get used to all of this, plus it can be hard on you. I would listen to your body and you will know what is right. If you start a new round and it's not right you will know.

Good luck!
