week two, nothing is happening, everyone says that is normal, is it

Question

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/meta repeats that normal is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 18 threads of people agreeing with each other.

Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?

I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

Yeah, that is totally normal for week 19.

Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

what is a COA — certificate of analysis, document from the lab

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.
