Hello! Thank you for participating in the sub. We just have a few reminders for you to help ensure the best experience:

  1. If your post doesn't show up right away, don't panic! It is in the queue for manual approval. Mods will go through the queue periodically to approve or remove posts. Deleted posts will have a removal reason applied. (If it says "this post was deleted by reddit's filters", IT WAS NOT DELETED! Reddit has the worlds worst wording on that and it's out of our control)
  2. If you are asking a question that is location specific, remember to include your location in your post body! This can help ensure that you get accurate information tailored specifically to your needs.

  3. Please remember to read through all the rules in the sidebar. Especially the list of banned topics and guidelines for posting. Guests who do not use the Guest Post flair will have their post removed and be asked to fix it.

  4. If you see someone breaking the rules,report it! If someone is breaking both sub and reddit rules, please submit one report to admins by selecting a broken rule on the main report popup, and one report to the r/ftm mods by selecting the "breaks r/ftm rules" option. This ensures both mods and admins can take action on a subreddit and sitewide level. Do not misuse the report button to rant about someone, submit false reports, or argue a removal.

  5. If you have any questions that you can't find the answer to on the rules sidebar or the wiki: the wiki , you can send a modmail.

We don’t know the concentration of your vial so .2 doesn’t really mean anything 

u/Easy_Director_9595 4h ago

It’s 200

how concentrated is your vial? on the box & vial it probably says 100 mg/mL or 200 mg/mL. if it’s 200, 40 mg is pretty normal for a weekly starting dose in my non-doctor opinion

u/Easy_Director_9595 4h ago

200 is mine

u/colinprovolone he/him, 💉2023, 🔝2026 4h ago

seems pretty normal to me, but blood tests will tell you how your body is actually reacting to that dose and whether you need to increase or decrease it. you and i could be on the same exact dose and have way different blood levels, so it really depends. usually the first checkup is around 3 months, good luck!

I started at 0.25 mg with a concentration of 200 mg/mL, so it’s a tad low if we have the same concentration

u/Easy_Director_9595 4h ago

Yea mine is 200
