My pen doesn't have the golden dose does it?

Just want to check I am not losing the plot, I have taken 2 doses out of it

I got an email the other day stating amongst other things:

What’s improved:
The pen has been redesigned to more clearly show when all four doses have been delivered
There is less excess liquid remaining at the end, helping to reduce confusion
The internal plunger has been updated so it moves closer to the end of the pen after your final dose

So presumably it’s that? Mine said from April but maybe they rolled out earlier from
some providers?

Yes my provider told me the new pen won't have a full 5th dose any more

There's definitely only two doses left in that, but it also doesn't seem to have the spacer that the new ones will have to replace the liquid. Are you sure you've only had two doses?

Agree with @RenegadeKeeblerElf looks like you have had 3 doses. Picture from reddit shows how the new pens look with a bigger spacer

I just ordered another pen from Boots today (I know, I know, super expensive) and I got a message saying that the new pens without the fifth dose were being introduced in April - initially with the 5mg pens, but then rolling out to the rest.
Shame - 5th dose was nice while it lasted.
Maybe those on the higher doses will still get a pen with the golden does in while stock runs down.

You can see you have taken 3 doses by the spacing.

New pens have a spacer, this does not, it’s the original (to us) design.

That pen has had 3 dose out of it, there is a 5th dose, the new ones have a bigger black bit at the end..

I get my MJ from a local chemist. Absolutely no issues.
