tried week one for 12 weeks. here is what happened.
Something I keep coming back to: tried week one for 12 weeks. here is what happened. Numbers, in the order they matter: 12 weeks. Asked what a COA was in my first week. Somebody linked the explainer and I have been reading them ever since. Wrote the concentration on the vial after reading it here. Have never once had…
The five things that would have saved me the most time in month one.
One: the first month is a tolerance check, not a results phase. Two: appetite usually changes before the scale does, so watch that instead. Three: write the concentration and the date on the vial the moment you reconstitute anything. Four: the loud posts are not the middle of the distribution. Five: nobody here — including whoever answers most confidently — is your clinician.
None of that is advice about what to take. It is the shape of the first few weeks, which is what I actually wanted and could not find.
Removed the specific dose recommendation. Describe what you did; do not tell a new member what to take.
Same. The injection was the thing I was most nervous about and the thing that turned out to matter least.
Yes — nobody here is your clinician, and the good answers on this board all end with that.
Is this your first step up or the starting dose?
What is the actual question underneath the question? Happy to answer both.
The injection was scarier in my head than in reality. It took about ten seconds and I felt slightly silly afterwards.

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.
