stalled for 15 weeks at 2.4mg and I refuse to panic this time

Question Receipts ×5 Sourced ×3 Cold Box ×3

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/meta repeats that normal is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 10 threads of people agreeing with each other.

Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?

I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

Removed a chain here.

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

Pens or research vials?

The injection was scarier than the beginner itself. 8 seconds and I was shocked it was the easiest part.

Not to be pedantic but basics and normal are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

u/saskia_bakker333 points·1 year ago

This is a good question, genuinely.

The injection was scarier than the first time itself. 22 seconds and I was shocked it was the easiest part.

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with first time, not with what you concluded.

Titration means going slow. The 0.5mg is the starter, not the dose you stay on, not the dose you need to feel it.

the first time question is not dumb

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

pens versus vials, same molecule, different price

Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.

u/yusuf_kirchner147 points·1 year ago

no question too basic, read the wiki first, then ask anyway

I am going to push back on this slightly.

Yeah, that is totally normal for week 20.

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.
