Question 1

is there a way to find out if am pregnant while doing the hcg diet shots ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Stop the shots! . Remember that one half of drug you inject yourself with is removed each 28 hours and so for accurate result to see if you are pregnant,  you should wait at least 14 days . Thereafter, in a  successful pregnancy, the HCG value will double every 72 hours. For the next few weeks..  An ultrasound is also helpful.

Question 4

Not likely : Depoprovera is one of the most effective forms of birth control as long as you get the shot every 3 months as directed. Irregular or absent periods are an expected side effect. Failure rates are 1-3%. Anytime you suspect that you may be pregnant the best thing to do is to take home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available at any pharmacy.

Question 5

can sudden bleeding for one day with a large blood clot be a miscarriage? tested pos on pregnant test today 4 days lat, just stopped hcg diet shots 3 days

Accepted Answer

May not be pregnant: The HCG diet shots will make a pregnancy test positive. 
If the bleeding occurred when your period was due its most likely a period. Go to a doctor and have them evaluate you.  Depending upon the dose the HCG can stay in your blood stream for several days and give you a false positive pregnant test.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you are doing the 500 cal diet, it is best to stop. That kind of diet is not safe and will not provide you with enough nutrients.

Question 7

can i get sick on the hcg diet?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The diet often recommended with HCG injections is very restrictive, and people often will not feel well. Unfortunately HCG has not been shown helpful for losing weight. I can't recommend it.

Question 8

is the hcg diet safe for someone who is too thin?

Accepted Answer

Hcg diet: The fda does not feel that HCG is safe for anyone.  The 'hcg diet' starts with 500 calories a day, which is also unsafe.  Save yourself some money and continue to eat healthy.
