IUD or oral contraceptives while on the HCG Diet Protocol – Simeons' Protocol Help - SimeonsProtocol.org

Can I use an IUD or oral contraceptives while on the HCG Diet Protocol?

Dr. Simeons did not object to his patients using oral contraceptives while on the HCG Diet Protocol. However, it is important to understand that oral contraceptives and IUDs release chemicals that influence the ovulatory and menstrual cycle in females. Side effects of these chemicals include: weight gain, mood disorders, altered menstrual flow, and many more. In some patients, the use of oral contraceptives and IUDs may cause weight gain, whereas in others there may be satisfactory weight loss while on the HCG Diet Protocol. The combination of these chemicals with any HCG protocol may alter the effectiveness of the drug/IUD, however, no good clinical evidence exists to support this. It is best to consult with your personal physician.
