Threw 5mg pen away accidentally! Go up to 7.5 early or not?

Hi everyone,

Basically I had a 2.5 in the fridge and 5. Was keeping the 2.5 for bonus dose but never did it as wanted to move up.

Anyway. I've bloody threw away the 5 accidentally- so bloody annoyed! And the bins came today 😭

So I've done 3 doses of the 5. Had one left in pen. I have my 7.5mg that got delivered this week. Would I be okay to go up to 7.5mg early? Or is that a silly idea... I've had minimal side effects so far. Suppression has been okay but short lasting.

Also whilst I'm here, if the 7.5 is too much for me this month can I drop back down? My friend said she upped to 7.5 and has felt dreadful and it's scared me!

Thank you ☺️

You can just take a 5mg dose out of the 7.5mg pen 😊

You could do a 5mg dose from the 7.5mg pen by counting clicks and doing 40 clicks instead of the full 60. Then do 7.5mg from then on, if you wanted to move up.

As others have said you need to do the clicks to do the 5mg dose. It would be very unwise to move yourself up to 7.5mg at this point.

Thanks everyone! That's great I'll do the 40 clicks! I never really got the click thing but have watched a video on it now! Thank you ☺️
