my triglycerides moved and I cannot work out whether what is is why
my triglycerides moved and I cannot work out whether what is is why. Change my mind, genuinely — I have no stake in being right about this.
Research-use-only material is not approved for human use. That is a plain statement of regulatory fact and it belongs in every beginner thread.
Bacteriostatic water contains a preservative, which is what makes repeated entry into a vial reasonable. Sterile water does not, and the two are not interchangeable for that purpose.
Appetite change and weight change are different measurements on different timescales. The first is usually noticed first and the second lags it.
Sceptical readings welcome. The confident ones are the ones I distrust.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Concentration is mass over volume, and a U-100 syringe reads 100 units per millilitre. Those two facts are the whole of the arithmetic this board keeps explaining.
That comparison is between two different products at two different concentrations, which is where the confusion is coming from.
write the concentration on the vial, you will thank yourself
Yes — nobody here is your clinician, and the good answers on this board all end with that.
This. Ask the basic question; the answers are what make the board searchable for the next person.
This.
ruben_cabrera has explained this better than the wiki does, which is saying something.
Asked what a COA was in my first week. Somebody linked the explainer and I have been reading them ever since.
the first month is a tolerance check, not a results phase
Same. The injection was the thing I was most nervous about and the thing that turned out to matter least.

nobody here can tell you what dose to be on
Agreed — week two with nothing on the scale is so common it should be in the sidebar. It probably is.
Right, and writing the concentration on the vial is the single best habit anyone here can start with.
titration means going slow on the way up
Agreed that appetite moves before the scale. Knowing that in advance saves a lot of week-three panic.
A certificate of analysis is a document describing one batch: what was tested, by what method, and what the result was. Its value depends entirely on whether it names the batch and the method.
Wrote the concentration on the vial after reading it here. Have never once had to reconstruct it from memory since.
Did you write the concentration on the vial?
Yes. The starting dose is a tolerance step. It is not supposed to do very much.
