HCG Side Effects

[curiousgirl06]

I started the HCG shots 4 weeks ago.  For the past 2 1/2 wks, I've had a rash on my neck.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Could I be allergic to HCG?  I've taken the phentermine before, so I don't think it's that.  Please let me know if anyone out there has had the same problem.

Thanks in advance!

I've never taken it but there were posts of this forum from other people asking the same thing!  They all had rashes too.

go into the files and I bet you'll find the posts.

I just got a rash on both arms and am trying to figure it out.  It crossed my mind that it might be the hcg but I have been on it for 5 weeks.  Strange.

[curiousgirl06]

It has been a week and a 1/2 since my last HCG injection.  The rash that I had for a little over 3 weeks is now gone.  Not sure if it was a coincidence or if I really was having a reaction to the injection????  I'm still taking the phentermine....  I did not have any "funny" rashes when I was pregnant with either of my children.  I had HCG in my system then - a lot more - for a lot longer.  I may try the injections again next week to see if it happens again - then I'll know for sure!!

Thanks for everyones input!

When i was taking the HCG injection.  I had side effects on it mood
swing really bad. I also had bad break out on face,neck,back, and I wasn't losing that much weight as I hoped for.  So just on saturday
I went to another Dr. to see if they have something that will work
better, faster,less side effects. So now I'am getting B-12 shots once a week along with Phentermine, Serotrim,Kromplex, Tee Leaf, Lasix.  I have 60 LB"S to loss.  I already notice a big change in appitie I don't even think about food. I'll keep you posted.

I just self administered 13 daily HCG shots and have what feels like pinched nerves on both left and right side of my adomen and rib cage.  Has anyone else experienced this?

[chattycathy111]

I had the same thing. Went for ultrasound, my liver is enlarged. Blood tests are normal and liver function is normal. Obviously I stopped the HCG immediately. My liver needs babying now. I lost 36 lbs in 7 weeks from the 500 VLCDiet and HCG injections. All that fat (where all toxins are stored,) rushing through my liver non stop for 7 weeks has me scared and I am looking for other posts like mine. Anybody else with upper abdominal pain? Feels like stomach is swollen and hurts...

[bioclock1]

I've had upper abdominal tightness like theres a really tight muscle in their or something and its not realy painful but sensitive. is this cause for alarm?
did the HCG cause an enlarged liver?

This is day 3 and I have had a horrible headache the first 2, today I feel tierd, withdrawn and moody :(  are you injecting as well? I think it's kinda scary, I took drops last time and it worked and I felt better.

i'm using releana drops..i've actually heard that injetions worked better. I usually feel pretty well, sometimes a mild headache, like today.
I've been a major pathetic individual and cheated so technically i'm starting over today w/ vlcd! I only lost 4 lbs in 10 days (according to weigh in at clinic) and i pouted and got off course. :( just hurt myself in the long run, huh?
i think the moodiness (for myself anyways) is kinda like food withdrawals. Most of us are emotional eaters and dont' even know it and are therefore also reliant/dependent upon carbs/sugars for our feelings of well-being.
That's my opinion anyways, which is where i think the moodiness is coming from.

[mom3656]

I have been on the hcg diet for two weeks aside from the days I have cheated.  I have lost 10 1bs, but I am having a hard time sticking to the vlcd.  

I think the moodiness comes from being starving!  My kids tell me I am so mean on this diet.  They tell me to just eat!!

[mom3656]

I know what you mean about being withdrawn and moody.  That comes from being so hungry.  I do the injections and they really arent so bad.  The needle is so tiny....you barely feel it.  I was afraid at first to, but now it is no biggie!

[robin143]

i am also taking the hcg injection, im trying to lose 80 lbs any suggestions for me im on day 6.

[Jordy440]

I lost almost 200 pounds.  53 pounds in the first month from doing cleansing!  Woohoo!!!  Then the rest from 4 HCG protocals.  

I felt moody but didn't know if it was because my wife and i were divorcing or the HCG.  

I also extended past the 40 days and ended up with an enormous fat bottom lip.  I can only guess that it was related to the HCG.  If i ever do it again i'll follow the instructions exactly. (not my nature)  

It works gang!  I have a new life and i'm healthy like i never dreamed and i'm happy to be a normal weight for the first time in my life!  If I can do it,... ANYONE CAN DO IT!!!   FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!

BTW  ...  My asthma... GONE!  Obstructive sleep apnea... GONE!  Sarcoidosis ... GONE!!!  I know I sound like i'm selling AMWAY hu???  LOL

I started the HCG injections on June 2, 2009.  On the 8th I went to the doctor again and I had lost 15 pounds in one week.  I am morbidly obese at a whopping 371.5 when I started on the 2nd. Down down down I am going to go..... I have no problem following the diet and I am finding it easier to move around bend over and just breathe!!!!!  I love it.  nothing wlse has worked for me..... but this is.

[got_nd]

Congrats! I love hearing stories of how the hcg is helping people to feel healthier, and not just about the weight loss. Keep up the good work!

[deej43]

Robin,

I do not know if you have downloaded the HCG Cookbook, but it has been my life saver.  I have now been on the diet for 14 days and I am feeling better than I have in years and I am down a whopping 27 pounds.  It is almost unbelievable to me.  I am loving life again.
Laughing and happy also.  It has been amazing to me.  

[sarahjay25]

so my doctor got me to start the program on june 19th,09 i havent weighed my self but since my doctor told me to pig out my first two days on the program..and OH I DID! i have been on a strict cal intake of 600 or less. i need to lose 13% body fat by november, sooner would be fantastice!  so i am really hoping this will work! i find my self really tired and exhosted after the day, anyone else?

[deej43]

Hi!! I am doing great!!!! I have now been on the diet for a whopping 36 days.  I am down 40 pounds and I feel great.  I have developed a little rash.  It does not itch and seems to diminish day by day.  I think I may be allergic to shellfish.  The reason I say that is I ate shrimp the day before I woke up with this rash.  It has gotten better slowly each day.  Today is day 5 and it is almost gone.  Anyone else experience that? I am going to keep up the good work.  I am no longer hungry, and if I have a bad day I just eat a couple stalks of celery or go for a walk and I usually can get rid of the hunger pangs.  Talk to you later.

[deej43]

Hello.... I hope that everyone is well.  I am writing to report that my rash I had developed is gone.  I t did not even last a week.  I do not believe that it was related to the HCG.  I am feeling great and loving life more and more everyday.  I would recommend this to anyone. deej43

If you develop a rash it could be from detoxing. Headaches, feeling sick, etc could also be from detoxing.

Did anyone get a yeast infection? I feel great! No significant weight loss yet.  I  just started the injections 6 days ago.  My mood is alot better, just this darn yeast infection and a pimple on my nose!  Had not had a break out since high school. Will keep you posted

[college12]

There seems to be many different tpyes of HCG from injections to the liquid tong drops. The truth is that I have been over weight for years and now that im older im really starting to see the side effects. This year is my second year of college and do to my weight I feel as if i dont live life. No clubs, parties, social groups, nor many friends because i dont have self confidence due to the fact that im 5 feet 2 inch and weight 290. I would love to lose weight so that i can enjoy the rest of my life and not look back and have any regrets, so i was wondering WHICH HCG method is most effective and delivers the best results.  

[lmt13]

Hi all. I am on day three and I have noticed a lot of breast tenderness. Is this something anyone else is dealing with? I don't know if it is related to the Hcg or not. Other than that I seem to be doing great.

It is not healthy to lose more than 2.5 pounds per week. You are losing mostly water and the weight that you are losing will come back plus 40% when you go back to your regular eating regimen.  That means, if you lose 10 pounds, you will eventually gain 14 back.  I have never been a supporter of any weight loss products simply because they don't work longterm.  All diet systems require you to miss a meal or reduce your caloric intake.  You don't need anything to help you lose weight if you are on 500 calories a day.  It is not healthy.  There is a major breakthrough in wight loss that I know about.  It is organically grown herb that releases the energy out of the fat cell.  It blocks the uptake of energy being stored in the fat cell and it causes apoptosis of the fat cell, which means "the death of a cell."  When you are over weight, your fat cell is saturated like a grape.  When you lose fat, your fat cell is depleted of it's energy and is like a raison. As soon as you begin to eat more, the fat cell becomes saturated again.  This is the only product that you lose all fat and 30-40% of the cells will actually go away.  The is dangerous fat called visceral fat that is around the organs.  The visceral fat around the liver gives off a chemical that inhibits the ability of the liver to clean insulin, which causes type II diabetes.  This product (not HCG) that I know about reduces the dangerous visceral fat first.  Call at 801-472-3277 for more info. It will be released soon (3-6 weeks).  I have a lot more info on it for those that are interested.  It is real and has gone through double blind studies with great results and no side effects.
