I'm waiting until the first week of April, because I've got something going on that first weekend of April 1-3. I'll make 2 of those days my load day. That'll be easier than trying to resist all those goodies for 12 hours a day! That'll also give me plenty of time to stabilize.
I'm halfway through P3. I might do a steak day, I'm hanging out at the top most part of my +2# and I'd rather be at the lower part of it. Besides, I have a ton of steak right now.
I'm thinking that nothing has really changed with my metabolism though. I doubt I'll be able to tolerate carbs any better. My blood sugar skyrockets even when I have a piece of low fruit or 5 oz of frozen strawberries.
Although I do think I'm tolerating my thyroid meds well at the moment. Sometimes I feel a bit hyper on 2 grains of armor. Right now, I'm not at all. When I was on the hcg I felt hyper and had to cut back to 1.5 grains.
Did y'all know that hcg is an anti-estrogen? I was looking into that yesterday and found that out. I wonder if maybe that's what has tipped me into not having a period this month... I'm balancing on the knife-edge of menopause.
I remember that estrogen causes RT3, as in BC pills.
Something else I read was interesting. Certain types of yams and starchy foods in Africa cause extra gonadotriptin to be released, causing extra eggs to be released during ovulation. Gonadotriptin is the G in hcg.
So... use BC when you're on hcg otherwise you might end up with twins... or triplets!
