What is the amount of your dose?
I'm aiming for 2.5mg, though I'm not clear on how that translates to the pen that has 60 units on it

. If you're going to dabble in gray-market peptides and inject them, learn what you're doing first — otherwise you risk harming yourself.I mixed it up on my own, so it looks like I've been taking twice the amount each week

To start with, quit measuring everything in units. On their own, units tell you nothing at all.
Correct dosing requires 2 pieces of information. First, the dose you want, expressed in mg. Second, how concentrated the solution is, in mg/ml. With those, you work out how many units to draw up. There are plenty of calculators available for this.
Here's one.
Honestly though, that reta was 40mg, but I've just put in an order for 30mg, and I figure my reta ought to have stretched past a month, thanks for the assistancetcpnomad said:

If your 40mg/3ml dose was .45, then the mass could come out above 45mg, meaning you were taking over twice as much. With no overfill, the calculation at 40mg works out to roughly .189.harryballs said:

Honestly, things have been going really well. My appetite has dropped a lot, though toward the end of the week I notice I start wanting to eat more. Over the past month I've dropped about 10 pounds.Skidude said:

Your actual amount was nearer 6mg.
What has the experience been like?
As previously mentioned, I would invest the effort to properly reconstitute the upcoming vial.harryballs said:

Typically those vials won't hold such neat, round amounts. Rely on the mass shown in a third-party test's CoA. At times it may be as much as 30% higher, or in some cases notably lower, or even nothing at all.harryballs said:

A digit got left out. Each unit equals .01ml, and 1ml contains 100 units.
Appreciate it, that was a mistake on my part.
To be straight with you, my first reaction to your post was that this thread might head in the same direction as that well-known Reta post where a guy accidentally took 30 mg of Reta. What followed was a pretty wild account of the next 4 weeks of his life. After reading it, you'd definitely want to be far more certain about your measurements before injecting again. In the end, he was okay. From what I remember, he couldn't eat solid food for nearly 2 weeks and had trouble drinking liquids for a week.
No offence taken at all, mate — I'm here to learntcpnomad said:
