4 months in and dead space is still the thing I get wrong
Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.
Setup: 5mg, week 19, constipation present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — units — and tracked it for 21 weeks.
Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted it. So I am putting it here rather than presenting it as a finding. If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something.
Not medical advice, obviously. This is one person with a spreadsheet.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Cosigning. The concentration on the vial in marker is load-bearing.
Small correction: the trial was 13 weeks, not 35. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
Yeah, showing the arithmetic is the fastest way for someone to spot the error.
never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration
This is correct. 2mL versus 21mL is the common mistake.
i am begging people to write down the concentration
This is correct.
Adding to this: insulin syringe is doing more work than the comment implies.
the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step
Small correction: the trial was 13 weeks, not 35.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

What was the vial size and how much bac water?
Mechanistically the bit that matters is units. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.

more water means more units for the same dose, which means finer resolution

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.

swirl, do not shake, or you are courting oxidation

This is correct. 2mL versus 9mL is the common mistake.
The single most useful thing I did was write the concentration on the vial. Stopped all the confusion after that.

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