Best day for MJ for side effects

Hi, I’ve ordered and am waiting for my first one to come. I’m just wondering for those of you that had digestive side effects how many days after the injection did they emerge. I work in a school so sometimes struggle to get time to even go for a wee let alone anything else. I was thinking if the side effects are worse the day after injecting I could take it on a Friday so that if there were any issues I’d be fine for work by the Monday. I’m hoping I don’t get any side effects but would prefer to plan for the worst!

Your thinking is sound.
I get peak side effects 1-2 days after injecting and for those who do get side effects they are mostly pretty mild so your chances are good.

Thanks! Can’t think of anything worse than suddenly needing the toilet in front of a class full of kids !

My side effects have been pretty mild (no needing to dash to the loo etc) but 1-2 days after I just don't feel my best (mild nausea and a bit tired), much better by day 3, so in your situation, I'd inject on on Friday morning too.

I also find that what I eat the day before I inject matters so I now have a clean eating day with lots of water. My worst side effects came when I injected the day after a family meal where I ate more fatty and carb heavy food than I'm now used to. Just something to think about - I wouldn't advise a 'blow out' the day before you inject.

I got stomach pains and indigestion the first week after 3 days - I had injected into my stomach

I have since injected in my thighs and have not had side effects.

Judging by what people say on the Mumsnet about their experiences (I spend quite a lot of my time here 😅) and my personal experience. I would also say that your thinking is right: Inject on Friday afternoon and if you feel a bit unwell after injecting, hopefully you will be fine by Monday. Mind you, a lot of people do not suffer from upset tummy so maybe you'll be lucky too.
