am I the only one who found first time harder than the injections

Questionbranch of 16 comments

am I the only one who found first time harder than the injections. I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

Say what week you are in, whether you are using a pen or a vial, what country you are in, and what you have already read. Those four facts turn a question that gets three contradictory answers into one that gets a specific one.

And do ask. The basic questions get searched for constantly, so a clear answer here helps a stream of people who will never post. The only genuinely unwelcome thing on this board is being unpleasant to somebody for not knowing something yet.

Yes. The starting dose is a tolerance step. It is not supposed to do very much.

research-use-only material is not approved for human use, and that belongs in every beginner thread

appetite change usually shows up before the scale does

I confused two very similar words on my first order and asked here, expecting to be mocked. Three people explained it properly instead.

Correcting my own answer earlier — I said week 21 and the wiki says week 33. The wiki is right.

Same. The injection was the thing I was most nervous about and the thing that turned out to matter least.

search first, but a repeat question is not a crime

I would not panic about that. It is on the list of ordinary first-month experiences.

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.

Before you read on

Several compounds discussed on GLP Research Hub are sold for research use only and are not approved for human use anywhere. Nothing here is medical advice and none of it is written by your clinician. If a post reads like an instruction, treat it as a description of what one stranger did.
