Need to switch drops? Please help veterans!
 

I am on my second round with HHCG drops. My drops I used for round 1 did not have HCG in them, which I now know is wrong. I did really well on them weight loss wise but don't feel I stabilized very well even though I did not cheat the whole time in phase 2 and 3. This time phase 2 is going... weird. I have been doing really good at following protocol and lost 5 pounds in 4 days which I know is great for a second round. I am super hungry though so I think I need to switch from my HHCG drops to the real hcg drops I was saving for my next round. I have no clue how to switch it. If I have to do loading again or if I can just flat out switch it. I am just wondering if I can get some recommendations from those of you who know more about it than me. Do you think I should switch it out? And if I do switch it out do I need to load again?

I would overlap a day between the two. No need to reload if you are currently in a round.

is the vial you are currently using one from your previous round?

Yes it is from my previous round opened around Nov. 30 2011.
It is the kind with ACTIVE Ingredients: (ACTH, Adrenalinum, Anacardium Orientale, Antimonium Crudum, Calcarea Carbonica, Cortisone, Fucus Vesiculosus, Hypothalamus, Kali Bichromicum, Oleander, Pituitarum, Sabadilla, Staphysagria, Tanacetum Vulgare, Thyroidinum) Equal volumes of each ingredient in 10X,30X,LM1 potency.
Other Ingredients: (Agrimonia, Castanea, Oenothera, Hookeri, Calochottus Leichtlinii, Achillea, Millefolium)10X,30X,LM1; Amino Acid Complex (L-Arginine, L-Ornithine, L-Carnitine) 3X,6X,12X,30X; Human Chorionic Gonadotropin 6X,12X,30X,60X.
Inactive Ingredients: 16% Organic Alcohol, purified water.

The one I got for my next round is not opened yet and I just got it. It has:
HCG 12x, 30X. 60X, CalcareaCarbonica 8X, FucusVes 3X, SpongiaTosta 5X, Hypothalamus, Pituitary, Thyroid 6X,12X,30X, 60X 200X, 20% alcohol in purified water

I am hoping the stuff I have on reserve is going to be ok, otherwise I will need help finding something legit and then load again.
If this should be fine how do I go about overlapping them?

I have found that hhcg drops tend to lose potency after 12 to 15 weeks. If they've been kept cool and dry yours are newer than that.

Since they are both hhcg you don't need to overlap
just stop the old and open the new..

You could try increasing your dose just a bit of the older drops too.

Thanks so much I really appreciate it. I upped it from 6 drops 6 times a day to 7 drops 6 times a day and I will see how that works. Do you think I need to do it a different way? Also instead of holding them for 3 minutes I will hold them for 4 minutes. If I am still hungry today I will switch to the new ones tomorrow. I love this forum for this exact reason, If this forum was not here, and you were not here I would have quit last night.
Just about the HHCG drops with regards to losing potency, is it 12-15 weeks after opening or 12-15 weeks after manufacture?

12 to 15 weeks after opening is what I've found.

I think it's fine to try 7 x 6 first.

I hope you are doing better. I also agree with Beth. Also where you store your drops has an effect on the potency and for how long. I used drops and kept forgetting to take them so I switched to the hcg patch. When I got my first ones it said they are good for a year. I thought this was great so i didn't have to be so concerned with opened ones.

Good luck! How are you doing now?

Thanks for the input from both of you. I do appreciate it.
I am at 7 drops for 4 mins 6x a day today is the second day. I am giving it 3 days and then if I am still hungry I will switch. So far it's looking like I am going to be switching. I just ate and I am starving. I may have to patch it up next round. I do not recall it being so hard in my last round. I am just so hungry. My last round I was barely hungry at meal times and now the cat is looking tasty. j/k. But the stuff for my daughter is calling my name and last round it did not bother me at all. I know what I am in for and how I am supposed to be feeling so I am just sticking through it and waiting to get the effectiveness of the drops.
