Advice for Menses and P2

OK. So today is day #1 of shots for me and I've been doing some thinking. I am OFF birth control for this protocol but ever since I was on BC my TOM was very regular and always on time. I did the math and it seems I will have completed 25 consecutive days of HCG shots before TOM arrives. I heard the minimum to stay on the protocol is 21 and max is 45 per round. I also know that ppl say they don't loose weight during TOM. So my concern is... should I stop my shots at 21 days and just start P3? I mean... if I loose the necessary weight in 21 days (I doubt it) then I can start P3 however I'd like to do it for at least 1 month. What would be the best approach to this? Right after stopping shots you have to continue VLCD for 2-3 days to flush out existing HCG from the system. Soo... if I stopped right when TOM arrived (mine lasts 3 days) and continued 500 Cal days... would I be safe to resume and how long should I resume for before starting P3, if I didn't lose any weight during my TOM and stopped the P2 then how would I know what I really should expect weight wise before having a steak day because all of sudden the scale moves O..o Oh my... I think my new thread is getting all crazy, just like my mind right now O..o

hmm I do my inj staight through my TOM in fact it started 2 days ago.. blah anyway who says you don't lose weight? Grant it my losses may be a little slower right now then they were im still losing.. day 1 -.4, day 2 -.4, today -1lb.. In fact im not sure that has anything to do with it or if they were just going to start slowing down from the 2lbs a day anyway..

anywho I don't know what to tell you would be better for you to do since I just keep going through it lol

I don't lose at all when its my TOM. I stop doing inj for a few days and then start up again. I believe you are supposed to start right after your TOM or at least 10 days before it. For stopping you should stop 3 days before. I always start my TOM on a Monday so i would end my inj on Fri so i can have my VLCD with no inj before TOM starts. I hope i explained that ok. I think most girls that didn't have TOM on a regular schedule would just keep doing shots and stop when it started. Then they would just start back in 2 or 3 days. You could just keep going and if you start TOM just stop inj for a few days and then finish up after TOM leaves.

Please PM me if you have questions.

Don't sweat it out so early! When T.o.m comes you can decide then what you want to do, and what is right for you. If you don't cramp really bad, you may want to inject right thru. If you want to go a few days longer, stop the injections and save that extra Hcg for the end. Things change all the time. You won't know what you want until you are dealing with it. If you just a pound or two from goal, do you think you're going to stop VLCD just because Tom is here? So don't fret so early, and just deal with things now!

Thanks girls! I appreciate the advice! My TOM has been on schedule so I may try the 3 days prior thing. Sounds just like my Nuvaring. I have to take that out a few days before TOM gets here :) Not on BC right now but I get it!! Cool! Oh and yeah I guess I will see also as circumstances will tend to change plans :p
