Can I take multiple 2.5 doses?

Hello. I started mounjaro in early May and I'm on 7.5. I don't want to go higher for the time being as suppression is good and I found the transition from 5 to 7.5 difficult.
My DH was going to start mounjaro so ordered some - but he then decided against it. So there is a now a spare 2.5mg pen in the fridge and it expires in September. For my next 7.5 dose can I just inject this 3 times (obviously with different needle ends). I guess I'm concerned it's a lot of solution in one go (I presume the medication is in some sort of saline solution?). Has anyone done this and we're ok?

I did that when I wanted to move up but still had another 2.5 pen left. Totally fine, as long as you do each injection with a different needle and at a different site.
