small win: what is stopped being a problem at week 72
small win: what is stopped being a problem at week 72. Same spreadsheet I have been keeping since the start, nothing retrofitted.
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.
Week 12 for me was completely flat and I was convinced something was wrong. It was not. Month two was where everything happened.
Not medical advice, obviously, and nothing here is approved for human use. One person with a spreadsheet.
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.

Careful — that is a dosing recommendation dressed as an anecdote, and this board removes those.
Pen or vial?
research-use-only material is not approved for human use, and that belongs in every beginner thread
Nothing on this board is medical advice, and the people answering you — including me — are members with spreadsheets rather than clinicians.
the first month is a tolerance check, not a results phase
ask the dumb question, three other people are searching for it
a COA is a certificate of analysis, the lab document for a batch
Small correction, said kindly: those are two different products with similar names, and the difference matters for a multi-draw vial.
Not quite. Bacteriostatic and sterile water are different products and only one is intended for repeated entry.
Correcting my own answer earlier — I said week 18 and the wiki says week 22. The wiki is right.
Correction: the starting dose is a tolerance step rather than a treatment dose. The distinction is the answer to the question above.
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.
bacteriostatic water has a preservative, sterile water does not
nobody here can tell you what dose to be on
bacteriostatic water has a preservative, sterile water does not
Agreed, and for anyone finding this later: that is the normal experience, not a warning sign.

nordic_pricing has explained this better than the wiki does, which is saying something.
Appetite change and weight change are different measurements on different timescales. The first is usually noticed first and the second lags it.
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.
That is area percent from a certificate, not the amount of peptide in the vial. Two different numbers and a very common mix-up.
Wrote the concentration on the vial after reading it here. Have never once had to reconstruct it from memory since.
Titration is a tolerance ladder. Each step exists so the gastrointestinal effects settle before the next increase, which is why the intervals are what they are.
the starting dose is not meant to be the dose that works
write the concentration on the vial, you will thank yourself
What is the actual question underneath the question? Happy to answer both.
week two with nothing happening is normal
Yes — nobody here is your clinician, and the good answers on this board all end with that.
appetite change usually shows up before the scale does
