Increased peeing, change in odor of urine or any other strange changes to body since starting HCG or hHCG? Just curious. Please let me know.

Yes but its not from the HCG its from the actual diet. When your burning fat the smell of your pee changes. Eating certain foods can do this as well. Asparagus makes my pee stink terrible. The amount of water you drink can change the color of your pee as well. We get used to eating relatively the same diet and our pee looking and smelling a certain way because of it. Its a normal reaction to what your eating.

I remember when my sister and I were teenagers. Every time my mother made beets I would cringe cause I hate them but my sister loves them and would eat mine. The next day when we got up for school she would come out of the bathroom with this horrified look on her face and my mom would have to remind her she ate beets the night before and thats why her pee is red LOL. She would always look so relieved.


"Other strange effects" I have had no negative ones really. Occasional constipation which is from the diet not the HCG as well. Actually I feel really good on the hcg and people have mentioned my skin looks wonderful and asked what I am using. I am not using anything on my skin LOL. I dont know if thats from the diet or the HCG though.

I think my skin looks better too...maybe from the HCG but also from the enormous amount of water I am drinking! (100 oz/day). I probably pee 20-30 times a day! Being perimenopausal and not having a period for 8 years, I had a 3-day light period! OMG! That, fortunately, stopped. I used to nap a lot during the day and now I find I don''t need one! Down from 129 to 115 (as of today) on day 20 of VCLD. This diet is the bomb! Good luck to everyone!

Yep, I can feel ya on that "Gogirl"! I have ovarian cysts and have not been regular with my monthly cycle since I was in my early 20's. With Hcg- it comes and it comes monthly and for once, I experience all the normal cramps and bloating and such every other woman does that I never had...yay- right?! Lol! I have noticed I pee more, but here is another personal experience that I am sure you guys will love I was in a car accident many years ago and was "roughly" urinary catherized while in trauma. I have had slight bladder/urine leakage ever since. Dr.s' really don't seem to care or offer any help. One Hcg- I have NO leakage. Also, I used to not sleep well at night and get up every hour to pee. On Hcg I sleep like a baby and no up and down peeing all night! My skin is also better and I have more energy and just a general better feeling or confidence that I and my co-workers have noticed. Can I also say my sex life seems better?!?! Lol!

The main thing that hcg does is suppress your hunger. Everything else is the effect of being on an extremely low calorie diet. Make sure you are taking a ton of supplements and probiotics and all should be well.

Definately getting some of my exercise running up and down the stairs to the bathroom! And I've also noticed that most days I don't need my afternoon 'power nap'. As for the recommendation that we get 8 hours of sleep a night, I've always been a 6-7 hrs person, and that hasn't changed. Having amazing results so far.... down -13.4 on VLCD8.

I am on depo and HCG is making me spot pretty much daily. Talk about ruined underwear. Also I've noticed my body odor has changed. Not like body odor in the sense that I didn't put deodorant on smell, but just body odor in general. Its so hard to explain, and I can't really figure out how to explain the smell either. Its just weird!
