what is the difference between compounded and the pen

Answered Well Actually ×5

Been lurking in c/coa for about 2 months and finally have something worth posting.

Short version: week 78, 5mg, and week one is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 17 threads, and the answers split roughly down the middle.

What I actually want to know is whether the people saying it does not matter have measured it, or whether it is just repeated confidently. Happy to be told I am overthinking this — I probably am — but I would rather overthink it now than at week 84.

The normal question took me three weeks to understand. Wiki explained it eventually.

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

no dose recommendations for individuals, even here

Slight fix: the number was 98.7, not 98.7. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

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.
