Before I knew about you lovely people on the forum where there is a lot of information about everything you need to know about HCG, I purchased my HCG drops. I purchased two 26 day kits, already pre-mixed. The two bottels were sealed, and I was told had 3 year self likfe (rolls eyes).

According to the information they gave me I am to take 3x a day a 0.30ml dosage. I use the oral syringe to measure it out, so I don't know how many drops this is.

I'm on day 30 of VLCD, and I've been doing pretty well. I've noticed over the last couple days though my hunger has increased a lot. I'm in TOM, so not sure if that could be why. However, I am beginning to wonder now that I am on my 2nd bottle if maybe the drops just aren't as strong as when I first bought them?

My first bottle didn't last the full first 26 days either, they lasted about 20 or 21 days. I'm pretty sure this second bottle will last me the next 10 days. However I am wondering if I should up the dosage. If so how much? I really don't want to run out of drops before the 40 day mark though.

Also, my weight loss has slowed a lot this last two weeks. I just thought that was kind of the norm, but this last week I'm going up and down here. I would lose 1.5, gain a 1lb, not lose, then lose 1.5 again. If this just because I'm towards the end, or is it because the drops aren't working right?

I'm following protocal, and drinking my water.

HCG has been good to be so far, so I just want to make sure it keeps treating me well!
