I just gave birth, how long must I wait before beginning the HCG protocol?
Congratulations! As long as your OB/GYN has cleared you to resume to normal activity and you are not nursing the baby, anytime would be fine to begin the protocol. Keep in mind that Dr. Simeons states the best time for women to begin treatment is right after menstruation, so after your first postpartum cycle would be an ideal time.
If you are nursing, you will need to wait until your baby is 6 months old and then contact us for assistance in modifying the protocol to meet the caloric needs of breastfeeding. Do not attempt the HCG protocol without our assistance if you are breastfeeding.
