Mini (2pen) stockpile....how to reorder?

[Fatmumslim01]

I'm debating buying 2 pens this month so I still get the golden dose before or disappears in April. I've just bought one pen last week so I'll have to use another supplier to order another one.

But then if I go back to my usual supplier in 8 weeks time I'll have a gap of 8 weeks from my last order? How does that work? I really don't want them to say I have to go back down to 2.5mg. also how to explain the reason for ordering 2 in a month, I can't say it's for the golden dose as officially we aren't meant to be using it!

Tell your current supplier you are going on holiday so need to order early then they have your order history.

This is what I have done, have 2 pens coming Saturday, I'm really hoping they have the extra dose! Just said I have a busy month coming up, studying and exams and holiday in May, all true, so need a pen earlier. Already ordered the previous pen on 25th Feb for delivery saturday before the release of the change in pens.

I didn't think of this! And it is Easter bank holidays etc so might be best to order earlier anyway. Will see what they say

A lot of suppliers do bundles? I bought 3 together when I started a year ago, not sure if it's still a thing.

If you have the boxes and the prescription label to cover the full eight weeks there's no issues reordering. It's only when there are gaps that it might cause an issue, ie you order two pens to last 8 weeks but don't order again for 10 weeks or more. The pharmacy will want to know why there was a two week or more gap.

I ordered two 15mg pens from 2 different suppliers and already have two 15mg pens in the fridge.
Last week I started a 12.5mg pen taking 6.25mg, so by my calculations the 15mg should last me until January / February 2027 if I stay on 7.5mg with 10 doses per pen. If I need to increase my dose, I will reduce the days from 7 to 6 and possibly 5 instead of buying a bigger pen.

By the time I finish those pens, I will (hopefully) be ready for maintenance (I started end of August last year)
