help me understand basics, I have read the wiki twice
The title is the whole question — help me understand basics, I have read the wiki twice — but here is why I am asking.
Nothing on this board is medical advice, and the people answering you — including me — are members with spreadsheets rather than clinicians.
Research-use-only material is not approved for human use. That is a plain statement of regulatory fact and it belongs in every beginner thread.
Concentration is mass over volume, and a U-100 syringe reads 100 units per millilitre. Those two facts are the whole of the arithmetic this board keeps explaining.
If somebody has the same thing measured a different way, post it next to mine and we will see whether they agree.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Titration is a tolerance ladder. Each step exists so the gastrointestinal effects settle before the next increase, which is why the intervals are what they are.
Push back on the advice above: nobody here can tell a member what dose to take, however confidently it is phrased.
search first, but a repeat question is not a crime

Adding the one habit worth starting today: write the concentration on the vial.
write the concentration on the vial, you will thank yourself
The injection was scarier in my head than in reality. It took about ten seconds and I felt slightly silly afterwards.
A certificate of analysis is a document describing one batch: what was tested, by what method, and what the result was. Its value depends entirely on whether it names the batch and the method.
Appetite change and weight change are different measurements on different timescales. The first is usually noticed first and the second lags it.
Not quite. Bacteriostatic and sterile water are different products and only one is intended for repeated entry.
the injection is easier than you are imagining
nobody here can tell you what dose to be on
Wrote the concentration on the vial after reading it here. Have never once had to reconstruct it from memory since.
ask the dumb question, three other people are searching for it
no question is too basic here, that is the entire point of the board
week two with nothing happening is normal
That is area percent from a certificate, not the amount of peptide in the vial. Two different numbers and a very common mix-up.
Did you write the concentration on the vial?
Right, and writing the concentration on the vial is the single best habit anyone here can start with.

Agreed, and for anyone finding this later: that is the normal experience, not a warning sign.
