 work your way up
I was supposed to start on 1000mg in the morning for two weeks then add another 500mg in the evening. I couldn't do it. I was just sick. I went down to 500mg with breakfast and 500mg with dinner. I was stuck there for many weeks. My nurse told me I wouldn't likely have success, get pregnant, if I didn't up it to the full dose. I took the full dose for maybe two or three weeks and got pregnant. I was losing weight the whole time. Anyway, I'd have times where I'd just get frustrated and quit it for a day or two and then start up again. Work your way up SLOWLY, like 500mg once a day for two weeks, then add anther 500mg a day...etc. If your doc approves it.
Hang in there and good luck!
