help me understand first time, I have read the wiki twice

Week One Clean Column ×6 Slow Clap ×2

Confession thread, sort of.

I went from 0.25mg to 10mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 16 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 injection-site soreness I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.

Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 78 reads it before doing the same thing.

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

Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.

The first time question took me three weeks to understand. Wiki explained it eventually.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 28 weeks to accept.

Week 14 checking in: nothing on the scale, no nausea, wondering if the pen is broken. No, it is just week 14.

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

pens versus vials, same molecule, different price

no question too basic, read the wiki first, then ask anyway

Are you on a pen or vial?

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

what is titration — it means going slow on the escalation

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.
