hi,
I am not sure how this site allows doctors to see reports, Because i see no options to see any reports

However , it appears that you want to loose weight and is inclined to use hcg diet for the same. However the question first arise is "wether hcg diet is effective". This type of diet is often prescribed with low calorie which is the real cause of wight loss achieved.

As far as your question goes, exogenous hcg is never proved to be free from side effects. You pituitary gonadal axis may get suppressed though this effect is more pronounced in males. Moreover it should be avoided in hormone dependent cancers like breast and prostate

I know that you are neither male nor breast cancer case, but i strongly suggest against taking exogenous hcg for weight loss, which can be achieved with planned diet and exercise program
