[Explainer] units are volume, mg are mass, this is the #1 error on this site
Right, the units question again, but with numbers this time.
I have 12 data points over 24 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign.
The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing showed up at week 78, not week 32. People give up long before the interesting part.
Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.

Adding to this: concentration is doing more work than the comment implies.
Dead space ate 11 units on a low-volume draw. Tiny impact at 5mg, massive impact at 2.5mg.
Not to be pedantic but mg/mL and insulin syringe are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
Yeah, showing the arithmetic is the fastest way for someone to spot the error.
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
dosing errors come from people reconstituting two vials differently and forgetting which is which
Cored the stopper on my 2th draw because I kept using the same entry point. Rotate the puncture site.
bacteriostatic and sterile water are not interchangeable, do not use them that way
Cored the stopper on my 21th draw because I kept using the same entry point. Rotate the puncture site.
The single most useful thing I did was write the concentration on the vial. Stopped all the confusion after that.

Spent 8 weeks confused about concentration math until someone showed me the table. 5mg, 3mL, concentration is 5/3.
Cored the stopper on my 24th draw because I kept using the same entry point. Rotate the puncture site.
