is it normal to get constipation at week 29

Discussionbranch of 9 comments

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 11 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 constipation…

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

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.

Cored the stopper on my 22th draw because I kept using the same entry point. Rotate the puncture site.

Dead space ate 17 units on a low-volume draw. Tiny impact at 0.25mg, massive impact at 15mg.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 58 weeks to accept.

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

dosing errors come from people reconstituting two vials differently and forgetting which is which

About c/reconstitution

The arithmetic and the technique. Bacteriostatic versus sterile water, reconstitution volume as a concentration choice, converting mg/mL into insulin-syringe units, dead space, swirl-not-shake, stopper coring, and how long a reconstituted vial is actually good for. Math errors get corrected fast and politely.

c/reconstitution rules
  1. Show your numbers. "How many units?" with no mg and no mL cannot be answered.
  2. Never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration it assumes.
  3. No sterile-compounding-for-others discussion. Personal handling only.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
