genuine question about what went wrong that I am slightly embarrassed to ask

Failure Slow Clap ×5 Long Haul ×1

Confession thread, sort of.

I went from 1.0mg to 15mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 24 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.

So now I have early fullness I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.

Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 34 reads it before doing the same thing.

Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.

Tracking number removed.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

Not to be pedantic but below spec and what went wrong are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

u/ewan_zielinski206 points·1 year ago

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

Came off after 72 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

Which country? Half the answers in this thread only apply in Ireland.

Crossposting this to c/retatrutide because the people who need it are not reading this community.

Disagree on that part. 97.4% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.

Yeah, the lesson matters.

orders that never arrived below spec

u/scam_taxonomyc/scamalerts105 points·1 year ago·edited

Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.
