[Results] 16 weeks, 5kg, and basics were the hard part
Six-word version is the title — 16 weeks, 5kg, and basics were the hard part — and the rest is context.
Hard numbers: 16 weeks and 5kg. Anything softer than that is flagged as an impression.
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
Removed the specific dose recommendation. Describe what you did; do not tell a new member what to take.
Removed the specific dose recommendation.
Adding the one habit worth starting today: write the concentration on the vial.
read the wiki first, then ask anyway
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.
Asked what a COA was in my first week. Somebody linked the explainer and I have been reading them ever since.
Careful — that is a dosing recommendation dressed as an anecdote, and this board removes those.
Nothing on this board is medical advice, and the people answering you — including me — are members with spreadsheets rather than clinicians.

pavel_kravchenko has explained this better than the wiki does, which is saying something.

Slight disagreement with this bit only, because a beginner reading it might take it as a plan rather than a description.
Has the appetite changed, even if the scale has not?
research-use-only material is not approved for human use, and that belongs in every beginner thread
the injection is easier than you are imagining
I confused two very similar words on my first order and asked here, expecting to be mocked. Three people explained it properly instead.
Is this your first step up or the starting dose?
Took three weeks to understand titration and about ten seconds once somebody explained it as a tolerance ladder.
This. Ask the basic question; the answers are what make the board searchable for the next person.
This.
This is the answer. Everything else in the thread is elaboration on it.
Which country? Half the answers here only apply in one place.
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.
Push back on the advice above: nobody here can tell a member what dose to take, however confidently it is phrased.
My first question here was genuinely basic and it now shows up in search for other people asking it.
The injection was scarier in my head than in reality. It took about ten seconds and I felt slightly silly afterwards.

Agreed, and for anyone finding this later: that is the normal experience, not a warning sign.
pens and vials are the same molecule with different logistics
What does the wiki page on this say — genuinely asking, not deflecting?
