I would do it on Saturday . Every other day is quite common.

A great chance to have her demonstrate on you. I don't think it'll be too much at all.

When I first began injecting, I injected 1000mcg daily, and had no ill effects. After that, frequency was reduced to weekly, then every other week, which was not enough and my symptoms returned worse than before. Since August 2021 I have been injecting 1000mcg (same as 1mg) daily. I am currently 72 years old, and older people are sometimes thought to need more frequent doses.
