    Hello everyone! I am on my 8th day of the VLCD and started my menstruating cycle earlier than expected... I have still been taking the drops while on it, haven't gained, but I have stayed the same. I was wondering if...
    1. It is normal to plateau while menstruating?
    2. If you are supposed to up it to 800 calories?
    3. It would be beneficial to do a steak or apple day after my cycle is over?

    Thanks so much to everyone! HCG WORKS!

    It's normal to plateau then. You don't ever up the calories and no apple day is needed. A steak day isn't for the diet part of the protocol but for maintenance. Hang in there!

    I keep taking the drops, and if I'm super duper hungry I add a boil egg to my lunch, that seems to do the trick.. I stayed the same, and my friend lost 3 lbs, everyone's body is different.. N yes, HCG works...

    I would like to add to HCG and Menstruation - it seems that what is happening to me is quite normal. I got my period 10 days early 6 days into the program. I was consistently losing 1-2 pounds per day and once I got my period the weight loss has stalled and even went up 3 pounds! Quite discouraging considering the main driver for me is to see those digital numbers on the scale keep on getting smaller and smaller! I keep telling myself that it is water weight and that once it is over i will drop back down again!!
    I also had pregnancy symptoms; my breasts enlarged and are still very tender, i was very tired for the first day but that went away.
    Overall, i am very happy on the program; the first 2 days were a nightmare, i was hungry the whole time, tired, severe migraine headaches, but i stuck through it and on day 3 it was as if i had never done anything but being on HCG my whole life! Also, it is extremely rewarding to flush out all your toxins and only eat organic and use no oils in your beauty regimen. It is amazing how much hand lotion i used to go through a day - now i am only using it when i really need it and the words BE INTENTIONAL constantly echoing.
    Thanks for this forum - it is nice to be able to share!

    My cycle also started early but I kept up with my injections and the 500 calorie protocol. I did slow down on loss and had no loss for a day or 2 but it was all water retention. Took an all natural water pill I got at the health food store and I'm now back on track.
