Bonus jab

I’ve been on 5 mg for a few months and this last month had poor suppression and weight has maintained. Used the bonus 5th jab on Monday night and had much more suppression and feeling a bit nauseous. My question is, what quantity am I likely to have injected? I was thinking a similar amount but wonder if it was more.
I have a 7.5mg pen for next month but concerned I will feel awful if I jump up to 7.5mg. Wondering if I’d be better micro dosing 6mg by counting clicks.

If you did the hard twist, the dose will have been the same.
if you used a syringe how much liquid was in the syringe?

I just did the hard twist. Just so strange that over the last 4 weeks I’ve had to work hard at not eating too much and not snacking. Yesterday and today zero appetite and don’t fancy eating anything.
There was no liquid left in the pen.

The pen only delivers one full dose when turned to the number 1. What is actually left in the pen depends on how much you used when priming your other doses. The medication builds up in your system week on week. If you can find a GLP-1 tracker online it will show how much is in your system. Think a lot of people use the shotsy app.
I’ve been on Mounjaro for nearly 33 weeks now, I’m still on the 5mg dose. Some weeks I’m starving others I struggle to get my calories in
