small win: what is stopped being a problem at week 72

Discussionbranch of 15 comments

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…

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.

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

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.

About c/newbiequestions

The deliberately gentle community. Every question that gets an eye-roll elsewhere lives here: what does titration mean, why do I feel nothing in week two, is this normal, what is bac water, what is a COA. Rudeness is removed faster than bad questions.
