small win: fatigue stopped being a problem at week 6

Side Effects Receipts ×9 Well Actually ×1 Cold Box ×1

Been lurking in c/progresspics for about 10 months and finally have something worth posting.

Short version: week 55, 15mg, and heart rate is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 13 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 61.

Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.

Small correction: the trial was 19 weeks, not 26. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

u/ayesha_erdogan30 points·2 years ago

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

The reflux was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. Week 80 me did not think I would make it to week 13.

Yeah, the injection-site soreness hit on day 19 for me too, not day 1.

How many weeks in are you? 21 weeks is noise, 21 weeks is a trend.

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

My the food-noise thing was worst at 0.5mg and better at 10mg, which makes no sense but it is real.

The reflux was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped.

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

week 13 and the nausea is finally getting better

u/enzo_danquah0 points·2 years ago

Yeah, the early fullness hit on day 22 for me too, not day 1.

Strongly agree. Describe your dose, your week number, and your titration speed or nobody can help.

How many weeks in are you? 16 weeks is noise, 36 weeks is a trend.

How many weeks in are you?

Disagree on that part. 97.4% and 98.9% on the same vial is normal.

constipation is real, boring, and fixable

hair loss is real and usually reversible when you stabilize

early fullness at 10mg is different from 12.5mg

resting heart rate moved up 13 bpm and settled back down when I stopped escalating

u/liv_vukovic31 points·2 years ago

nausea on day 2 is normal, nausea after week 38 is worth checking

Same experience. Week 45 and it simply stopped. I know that is not useful information but it is what happened.

About c/sideeffects

Side-effect experience and management, with a strong bias toward the ones that are common and boring (nausea, constipation, reflux, fatigue, sulphur burps) and a hard line on the ones that are not (severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, jaundice, vision changes). This community is not a substitute for urgent care and the mods will say so bluntly.

c/sideeffects rules
  1. Severe or escalating abdominal pain is an urgent-care question, not a forum question. We will lock those threads with a pointer to help.
  2. Describe your dose, your week number and your titration speed — otherwise nobody can help.
  3. No diagnosing strangers. Share what happened to you.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
