[Results] 26 weeks on 5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring
Right, the units question again, but with numbers this time.
I have 5 data points over 36 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign.
The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing showed up at week 14, not week 63. People give up long before the interesting part.
Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.
best — the order this archive was captured in
I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.
This is correct. 3mL versus 14mL is the common mistake.
stopper coring on the 2th draw because you keep using the same entry point. rotate.
Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
dosing errors come from people reconstituting two vials differently and forgetting which is which
Yeah, showing the arithmetic is the fastest way for someone to spot the error.
Cored the stopper on my 19th draw because I kept using the same entry point. Rotate the puncture site.
Did you write the concentration on the vial?

more water means more units for the same dose, which means finer resolution
never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration
bacteriostatic and sterile water are not interchangeable, do not use them that way
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
Cosigning. The concentration on the vial in marker is load-bearing.
dead space is real and the syringe matters
show your working or it is unhelpful

Are you using a u-100 or u-40 syringe? That changes everything.
Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
u-100 syringe, not u-40, or your math is off by factor of 19

The single most useful thing I did was write the concentration on the vial. Stopped all the confusion after that.
