Question about length of round
 

I started loading on 2/4/12. I bought enough hcg for a long round but wanted an opinion. I am going to Florida on March 22 for a long weekend with family...where it is unlikely that i will have access to good healthy foods to eat although I will try to do my best. Would it be best to do a short round which would have me finishing up my injections on Feb 28 then 3 days of vlcd till the hcg is out of my system...then spend the next 3 weeks stabilizing before my trip. I guess if I did it that way I could do another round after my trip but I am not sure how long you have to wait to do another round. Or would it be better to do the long round which would have me finishing up just before my trip?

it's 6 weeks between round 1 and round 2. So 21 days of phase 3 and 21 days of Phase 4.

Beth...so you definately have to do phase 4 before going back to phase 2? Do you load again on your next round? So I am guessing by this that I should do a short round and go through phase 3 and 4 and then if needed do another round after instead of doing the longer round???

Julie - after round 1 yes I would definitely do P4 as well regardless of the length of your round. You do not have to add back a lot of carbs in P4. Some people stay more on the P3 side. You do need to reload tho.

I have that same question exactly. I started on 2-4 and will be traveling March 17-25 to Puerto Rico. What are your thoughts on when I round?

Oops...when I end my P2 1st round?

Was 2/4 your first loading day? if so your 21st day of VLCD with hcg would be Feb 26th. then 48 hours of VLCD without hcg.. (if hhcg drops). So P3 would start wed Feb 29th. 21 days of phase 3 would be March 20th.

Thanks Beth! I think I just realized that short round was 21 days...I was thinking it was 23 days plus 2 load days plus 3 days with no injection...I guess I got one of those numbers screwed up.

it's 23 days if hcg which includes the 2 loading days.
