There are a few vets on FB that are in the middle of a round or about to start one. It seems most of them are doing pellets b/c they are tired of shots. As for me, if I ever decided to give it another go I would stick with my injections b/c it's easier for me.
If you are looking for support on your journey you can try HCG forums or look up HCGers on FB. To find HCGers on FB just type in HCG and you should be flooded with people who have HCG in their names. Also, a good forum is www.4hcgsuccess.com or www.hcgdietinfo.com.
I started out on the latter site but moved with the other vets to the new site, the former.

HCG Load Days
I learned a few tricks about loading over the time I was on HCG. The most important thing is to stick with protein and fats. Stay away from chips, bread, rice, etc. I love to eat cheesecake, ice cream, Johnsonville sausage, pre-packed hamburgers with bacon in them, ribs...you get the idea.
Before you start make sure you have read "Pounds and Inches" and you know exactly what you are getting into. This diet is hard b/c it requires willpower. You have to be in a good place mentally before you begin or your round will be a disaster.
I would stay away from alcohol b/c it will cause a big jump on the scale and it's really no reason for it during loading.
It is important to remember that you are supposed to eat to the point where you want to vomit. Loading is the only when you can gorge and it is acceptable. Don't beat yourself up or feel guilty about how much you are eating. It is your job to eat this much or you will be extremely hungry the first week on P2. You will not be happy and will definitely know you load incorrectly. (Trust me, been there...)
Take your dose before you eat and wait at least 30 mins. When I tried taking my shot and eating right after it made me sick within mins. The earlier you take you dose the better. That is for loading and during your round.
If you have any question or are not sure about what to eat, ask. There are plenty of veterans including myself that would be happy to help you.

P2 Teas...
While on P2 I had plenty of tea. I'm not a big water drinker and tea saved me and my losses. I used diffferent flavors: orange, cinnamon, blueberry, peppermint, spearmint, honey vanilla, jasmine, etc...you name it I tried it. However, no matter what flavor tea I used, I always mixed it with Oolong tea (a strong green tea) to make sure I receive some benefits to having so much tea. I also tried Yerba Mate but I couldn't tolerate the chocolate version...stalled me for some reason.
My advice to anyone trying to figure out what teas to use is to buy whatever flavor you like. I found that only one tea caused me issues. I would also say to mix it with a green tea.
This is the one I ordered from Vitacost.com. I paid $5.04 for a box of 100.
