What time do you inject?

As the thread title really!

I heard some people before I started saying that evening can help to avoid any side effects, so I’ve chosen to do my first pen at 5:30 pm.

Also curious if people deliberately chose certain days of the week, or if you just did it the day it got delivered?

I usually do saturday mornings so that I have all day and weekend to deal with possible side effects. I've heard stories of people waking up in the middle of the night with diarrhoea or vomiting and I wouldn't want to do evenings or nights cos of it.

First time I injected about 9pm because I wanted to sleep through any side effects. Now I inject about 9am. I inject on a Tuesday.

I inject on Saturday evening around 7pm. Saturday is always busy with kids activities, family outings etc so I feel afterwards best as we always have a chilled day on Sunday so I can deal with side effects then

Same as Hans - Tuesday, when I'm back from the school run. Dunno why I picked Tuesday.

I don't get side-effects.

I did my first one in the evening.
But now I just do it whenever I remember during the day.

Sunday as I work from home Monday and Tuesday and don't want to risk really high suppression over the weekend whilst socialising!

First few weeks I did the afternoon as I was curious to see if I did get side effects, after a few weeks I was really nauseas one Sunday evening after doing it earlier that day so since then I've done about 8pm instead to hopefully sleep through the nausea which has worked so far (or it's not made me nauseas again!).

I do mine at some point between 4 and 5 pm on a Thursday. I used to do it at the same time on a Friday but gradually brought it forward by a day so that if I did get symptoms then they would be more likely to have past the worst by Monday morning (work). If they do kick in early then I don't work on a Friday (that changed from when I first started - I did work on a Friday then).

Sunday evenings for me. I work from home most of the time so can handle side effects during the week. I also didn’t want super high suppression over a weekend, but I do think I may push it on into the week at some point so that I have a little more effects over the weekend. I find I generally don’t feel strong side affects, but I can struggle to sleep through the night the first couple of nights after jabbing.

I specifically chose the day and I time I inject. I wanted to get my Monday and Weds gym classes out the way in case of side effects (they cost a fortune and are paid in advance so didn’t want to risk having to miss one each week due to feeling rough from MJ, or going and having a funny turn). I also wanted to pick a day when I wfh the next day, again for side effects. I didn’t want to take it on a weekend because 1) it’s the main time I get to spend with my son and husband and didn’t want to spend a day each weekend feeling rubbish and 2) supression wears off towards the end of the week and I knew if that happened on a weekend I’d be more likely to allow myself sweets and treats “because it’s a weekend”. So I chose Wednesdays. I do it around 7:30pm once I get on from the gym so I have all evening and night to get over/sleep through any stronger side effects. I do it on an empty stomach and eat a light tea about an hour later. Did this week 1 and minimal side effects so have continued to do it this way.

I do between 10-11 on Fridays nights. Chose deliberately in case of side effects so I could hopefully sleep through them and then have the weekend to deal with them before work. But luckily I haven't had many side effects so far, been doing it since August.

I inject on a Saturday, but depending on what we are doing it can be anything from 1pm - 8pm.
