HCG Injections Male Pregnancy Test?
I am taking HCG injections for weight loss and am a male. Does anyone know if I could take a home pregnancy test to ensure the hormone is in my system? If a test will show the levels in a male’s system; how long until the hormone will show up? I have taken 3 injections so far and my pregnancy test came up negative so I am wondering if the HCG is in my system. Thanks in advance!

Those hormones will probably make you gain weight, not lose it. These hormones are what pregnant women produce in case you didn’t know that. I think you are sick in the head, but to each his own, i guess.

help after h pylori diagnosis?
Hi Everyone
I have finally had my endoscopy and it revealed I had Gastritis and doudenitis caused by h pylori bacteria….I was given the triple therapy 1000mg amoxycillin 500mg cythromycin and 30 mg losec for a week I finished the course just under 3 weeks ago.I would like to add 2 days to finishing this i developed piles which bled!….. i was given anusol and it did take a good week to heal it is that normal to develop piles?
Since then I still feel under the weather not as bad as i did before but still finding it hard to eat….this is worrying me because i have already dropped from 8 and a half stone to 8 stone from Nov 2010 to early Feb 2011 and now ive lost another 2lb since (2lb in 4 weeks) ….. is this something to worry about? I keep thinking do i have an underlying problem because of the weight loss, I have mentioned this to my doctor and she doest seem to worried I know some will probably say im making matters worse but how do i stop it?
But when you read up on cancer symptoms is says you lose weight steadily but progressively what does that actually mean? Is that what im doing?
I really do appreciate your opinion and if you have been through this horrible bug how you felt before and after.
I have read that antibiotics can cause Gastritis is this true? and if so mine has obvioulsy gone worse? how long does it take to heal? I have been taking probiotic drinks every day since as ive heard this helps but the good flora back into the system…. I just dont want to lose anymore weight
thanks in advance for your advice xx

It is true antibiotics can cause gastritis. Since all of the bacteria both good and bad are being killed in the body the digestive tract becomes extremely senstive. My doctor told me to take 8 billion cells of probiotics; I had only been taking 5 billion.
I finished a course of Ceftin and have experienced two 12-hour long abdominal spasms. I cannot walk or sit and the pain is so excruciating and the pain brings me to tears. I don’t know if I have h pylori, but had a blood test done today to check and will have an ultra sound done on Monday.
When it comes to piles, it takes a long time for them to heal. You can also try a sitz bath; they are so soothing! You can add epsom salt to it or even chammomile tea. Do this two times per day if you ever get them again. Sometimes adding a hydrocortinone to the Anusol can help with inflammation. Just mix them together. You can also wipe the area with witch hazel which helps contrict blood vessels.
Only your doctor can diagnose you with cancer.
I hope you feel better soon.

Question about diets………..?
I just had a baby 2 months ago yesterday.. so i have a lot of unwanted baby weight. Ive read online a few different diet plans that work.. i want something that’s going to work fast. I guess my question is, is a liquid diet a good idea? Ive read about a lemonade weight loss diet.. and it says it works good and cleans out your system.. well thanks in advance..
Evian Gillette answers:
Don’t try out any diets right now. You will shed the unwanted baby weight once you start living the routine way. Simple walking and slow jogging exercises will help. Be happy.
