Should have gone up, regret today

Yesterday I was supposed to go up to 7.5mg. I got a bit worried and just took 5mg.

Regret it today because I’m hungry. Can I just take the rest today? I understand how to pull the correct amount.

Yes, I did this. I bought a 12.5mg pen then decided to stay on 10mg. But regretted it next day like you so took the rest.
According to shotsy it doesn't make a huge difference - obviously slightly different graph but not significant.

Thank you. I’ll just do the 7.5 as normal from next week. I’m almost at target, but seem to have stalled this week and am feeling hungrier. I’m guessing 5mg is my maintenance dose.

Yes, if you've done 5mg before you can go up, some people do split doses regularly as they find it better with reducing side effects.
Bear in mind that blood concentration levels can take upto 72hrs to reach maximum so even with 7.5mg you may be hungry until suppression and satiety fully kicks in again. It would always take 2 days for me for it to kick in, I only had suppression days 2-5/6 until I reached the higher doses 12.5 and above but I was prediabetic so needed the higher doses.
You can use the free shotsy app to check estimated blood concentration levels.

I'm in the same situation and have just started my 4th 5mg pen and should have gone up.

Would you recommend doing the full dose then counting the clicks to get the equivalent top up to 7.5mg? Or just extract with a syringe to get the equivalent of a 7.5mg dose or somewhere thereabouts?
