Going up to 7.5 day before going on holiday

[rox01]

Hi everyone, I’m trying to work out what to do. I did 4 x 2.5 and have done 3 x 5 but can’t work out what pen to order next.
On the 5 I’ve been more tired but not so much appetite suppression, more too tired to eat as much, just woke up with a rumbling tummy and trying to work out if I should move up or stay put.
I am losing on the 5. The complication is that I drive on holiday the day after I jab and don’t want to mess up the holiday but equally it’s the first dose of the syringe. I don’t like the idea of travelling with a half plunged syringe either so it would be either a 5 or 7.5 pen I’d need to use full dose on.
Any ideas / what have peoples experiences been moving up. Thank you :)

What do you mean a half plunged syringe? If you are taking a lower dose out of a pen, you count clicks - it would be 40 clicks to get 5mg out of a 7.5mg pen - and plunge all the way.

In your position, I would order the 7.5mg pen but take a 5mg dose from it for the holiday and increase when back. I definitely wouldn't go up a dose on holiday because I have had bad gastro side effects going up previously and I wouldn't want to deal with that on holiday.

Don't go up a dose on holiday. You don't have to go up strictly to the schedule, this is a long game.

Order the 7.5mg pen. A full dose is 60 clicks so to get 5mg out of a 7.5mg pen you just count 40 clicks and plunge it all the way down as normal.

Or if your suppression is completely gone you could do 6mg (48 clicks)
