[Discussion] we have no vocabulary for success that is not a number going down
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 8 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 I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.
Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 10 reads it before doing the same thing.

How long at maintenance?
regain after taper is expected, plan for it
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.

the 15mg dose works fine for 72 weeks of the month

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 80 weeks to accept.
weight moves within 5kg and that is normal
Small correction: the trial was 4 weeks, not 6. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

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

Strongly agree. Lowest effective dose is a real discovery process.
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with regain, not with what you concluded.

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
dose-stretching experiences welcome, dose-stretching instructions are not

Disagree on that part. 97.4% and 96.2% on the same vial is normal.
