What day of the week to start?

Morning, been watching your posts for a while and finally, with the support of DH I am receiving my first delivery today. We are going away on Sunday/Monday so thought I would start either on Monday or Tuesday - question is, is there a better day to start, did you wish you had started on another day?

Many thanks

If you find the day doesn't suit you can just change. I have several times, to fit with travel/events. I try to change by only one day each way at a time, but sometimes have moved it by two days.

Just do whatever fits into your lifestyle best.

I'm partway through week 2 and realised that I had started on a day which meant that my side effects were terrible on a day that I was driving a long distance. So I delayed my 2nd dose by a day and haven't had any consequences.

Good luck 👍

I started on a Thursday morning as I wanted to have any potential side effects over the weekend (I heard they peak at 72 hours post-jab). I also wanted most suppression over the weekend as that's when I'm most tempted by wine, cheese and snacks.

I am 6 weeks in and so far this is working for me.

i do mine on a Sunday night before bed as I wfh on Mondays. I get mild side effects on the Monday so it’s easier at home. But it’s easy to move your injection day around. I started on Wednesday and moved it as it wasn’t convenient

I do mine on Wednesday mornings. It fully kicks in by the end of Thursday so I am really well covered over the weekend, which is the time when I might over-indulge.
While I was on the lower doses I found that it started to wear off on Monday/Tuesday (ie day 6/7), but Im really busy on those days, and quite motivated as I weigh in on Thursday mornings.
Now I'm on 10mg there is almost no tapering off towards the end of the 7 days.

Thanks everyone, that’s really helpful.
I was not sure if you could move your day so that’s also reassuring.
