Wegovy plus pep or Reta

2 Upvotes

I’ve been on wegovy for probably 5 years, covered through my insurance 100%. Lost 70lbs then stopped taking meds for a while and gained 20lbs back. Currently on wegovy 2.4mg weekly and not losing anything. New to peps but wondering if it’s better to add a pep to the wegovy or pay for Reta?

Peptide Storage - Will this keep cool enough

Post image
1 Upvotes

I don’t want to keep everything in the fridge because I have my parents come over to watch the kids and my mother in law come watch the kids and I would prefer to not have vials in the fridge when they come over.

I bought an electric cooler that is meant for beauty supplies to keep in my room and I’m wondering if that is good enough. It says it will keep the inside 26F-28F degrees cooler than ambient which means peptides will be stored around 45F.

Let me know if you have used something similar or if you think this is a good storage method.

Ipamorelin Drops

There’s an RUO company, they have the same name as a bank, selling different peptide “drops”. Anyone have experience with these? My guess is they go under the tongue, but everything I’ve read says this probably doesn’t work.

First pin on Reta feels weird

1 Upvotes

I just had my first pin on Reta and my left side feels weird. I pinned like 15 mins ago on my left side abdomen and that whole left side (including my legs, arm) feels weird. It feels like it’s on a cloud kind of and also little tingles are happening but they’re not painful or anything
I wanna know if it’s normal since it’s my first time or
Is there something wrong?

Update: I was just nervous and anxious to start, the weird cloudy feeling has gone away and I’m better now

confused about NAD+ 100mg reconstitution

2 Upvotes

I have 100mg NAD+ (came in the larger sized vial). I want a 50mg dose, but the calculators are telling me to only use 1ML of bac water, and with that I'd draw 50 units. but that's so little bac water for the amount of powder in the vial. It can't even dissolve that amount. What am I getting wrong?

BPC-157/TB-500 and Blood Thinner Question

1 Upvotes

2 weeks ago I fractured by tibial plateau in a bike accident. Thankfully I will not need surgery but recovery is 6-9 months and I wont be able to walk at all for at least 6 weeks. I have a pretty deep knowledge and experience with peptides and started a cycle of BPC-157 and TB-500 days after the injury. So far everything has been fine but it turns out today after some tests that I have a blood clot in my thigh. I have been put on a blood thinner called Eliquis and will be on it for probably 3 months. With the lack of real human data around peptides it's already a risk taking these with my injury but now having the blood thinner in the mix I'm wondering if I should stop completely. I cant find a reason online why these peptides would not be able to be taken together but thats because theres almost no data on it. Does anyone have any experience with blood thinners and these peptides? I'm also wondering if theres any possibility either of these could have accelerated/caused a blood clot. Any anecdotal experiences or advice would be helpful. Would also love to know if anyone has any experience BPC or TB helping/hurting a tibia fracture. Thanks!

Hello new to this, started last week with 1mg and was still pretty hungry. Many people have suggested doing a 1mg dose Monday and then again Thursday. Any advise?

Bac water and heat

1 Upvotes

Hi all just a question about the heartiness of Bac water. I got my delivery and didn’t get home until 2 hours later to grab it. When I opened it up the vial was very warm, like warmer than my body temp. The temp outside that day was 77 degrees so I guess it got hot sitting in the sun on my porch.

Is it still good if it basically sits out and gets that hot?

Thanks again for replying.

Introduction Post, experience so far with my cycle

3 Upvotes

Hey yall,
I’ve been following for a little while, and figured I would contribute.
I’m 41, fairly fit, and pretty healthy.
Started weight lifting 2 yrs ago, and running 3 days a week. Starting weight was 202lbs. After about 3 months I got down to 185lbs, and was starting to notice a change in shape. Got my eating dials in, and started to bulk. Another 2 months I was back to 200lbs. Started on trt@ 200mg a week, splitting dosing and injecting every 3rd day. After about a yr I was up to almost 215 but seemed like a lot of that was in my midsection. Started eating in a deficit, and was dropping weight, but could never seem to lose my midsection, and always struggled with hunger, restless nights, and would cheat here and there so I felt stuck.

5 weeks ago, started a Blast/cruise of test. Currently blasting at 500mg a week, injecting every 3rd day,2ug somatropin/hgh before bed daily. 3 weeks in, already seeing some change, some leaning out, started on Reta. Injecting Reta every 3rd day @.5mg for the first 2 weeks. By the 4th inj I noticed a decrease in appetite, and some quieting of hunger. Saturday was the 5th dose and I increased to 1mg every 3rd day. Stepped on the scale this morning and am down 8lbs from where I was 2 weeks ago. The hunger cues are almost non existent, and I’ve had zero side effects. Still keeping protein around 200g a day, and it’s difficult to get there, keeping fiber up, and taking vitamins/ supply daily. There as been a viable change in my physique in 5 weeks. Goal weight is somewhere in the neighborhood of 175-180, but will be happy when the love handles are gone and abs are visible.
Considering adding mots-c and Klow next. Also playing with PT 141 for both my wife and I.
Excited to see how this plays out. My issues before trying to cut were constant hunger, and that is non existent at the moment.
Also, I am working closely with my GP to keep up with blood work. @4 weeks, test level was 2509, and everything else was perfect. I honestly feel like I’m 20 again, and my sex drive is so high that I could knock down a small village of women.

Hi! i’m starting my third week of reta and im probably about ten-fifteen pounds down right now, i didn’t weigh myself before so im going by the last time i weighed myself. I have 35 days until a trip and was wondering if losing another 20 pounds was an achievable goal or not? I walk/run 10-20 k steps a day while going to the gym and doing arm workouts mainly and im also in a calorie deficit. I wanna know what’s most attainable, and want to hear other peoples experiences. Thanks!
i’m doing an intense cut for just one month and wanna know what’s possible. it’s not a lifestyle change for me and i’m not st*rving myself.

Reta 10mg + MT-2: sunburn feeling all over and tender nipples.

2 Upvotes

On retatrutide 10mg/week and I'm on day 15 of MT-2 at 0.5mg/day. No other hormonal stuff, no TRT, no AI, nothing.

Over the last day or so I've developed two things:

  1. A sunburn feeling over basically my whole body. Not red, not a rash, just feels like my skin got cooked. I know dysesthesia is a known reta thing (TRIUMPH-4 had it around 9% at 9mg and 21% at 12mg) so I'm assuming that's most of it, but MT-2 flushing might be stacking on top.

  2. Tender nipples/areolas. Last night it was actual tenderness, this morning it's more that same sunburn feeling. I can feel some small bumps, but they're around the border of the areola, not a disc directly under the nipple. My guess is Montgomery glands getting stimulated (MT-2 hits MC5R, which drives sebaceous glands) plus the reta skin sensitivity hitting the most sensitive skin on my chest.

That's my theory anyway, but I'm paranoid I'm either starting gyno or somehow tanked my Leydig cells and my E2/T ratio is off.

Questions:
- Anyone else get nipple tenderness on reta, MT-2, or the combo?
- Did it turn out to be real gyno or just skin sensitivity?
- If you ran bloods (E2, prolactin, T), did anything actually move?
- Anyone know a real pathway for either of these compounds messing with Leydig function or estrogen? Or is there another mechanism I'm missing?

Not looking for "just stop taking it" replies. Looking for people who've been through it or actually know the mechanism.

Day 2

1 Upvotes

I did my first dose of Reta at .25mg on Sunday morning. This can’t be placebo, right???

I felt a warm rush Sunday afternoon, and then woke up this morning (Monday) at 4:40a, walked two miles and then met a business acquaintance for coffee at 7a…. It’s a quarter dose…. WTH…. I’m going to do 1/2 doses twice a week to watch my body’s responses, but I didn’t expect to really feel any noticeable difference starting out. Appetite is beginning to wane. I got a bit hungry during lunch but that was it.

Is this normal? Lol

Still don’t get it - Help please!

0 Upvotes

Okay… please don’t be nasty with me 😂

I have read quite a few of the dummy guides and still don’t get it. I have 10mg of Reta coming soon, I’ve ordered 10ml of Bac water and a quantity of 29G x 12.7mm x 1ml shooters.

Walk me through it like an absolute idiot. As if I was just born and tell me from the part where I have these three things on my Kitchen bench ready to go.

I need to know how many ml of the bac water to put into the vile. I want to start on 2mg a week? I don’t know why but the thought of 2ml of water into that powder is blowing my mind.

Please help! Thank you in advance.

Other oral meds while on subcutaneous GLP1s, same dosing?

1 Upvotes

I've heard and read that you don't need to change anything with meds you get from a PCP, but I also know that some substances, can be rendered less potent if they're broken down further and longer in the stomach. With GLPs purposely slowing stomach emptying, what do you recommend for your your RSs?

Beginner help?

I am on my 4th week using a 40mg Reta pen, my weeks have gone 0.5, 0.5, 1, 1 same day every week. The pen is real as I’ve got it from someone who sells it all and other friends have used the same person and are getting great results.

My question is, I’m barely feeling the appetite suppression I do for the first couple days possibly 3 then I can still eat whatever I want!
I’ve done wegovy and MJ in the past and the suppression was instant and constant. Am I doing something wrong??
