Advice on adjusting Wegovy doses before a month away from home

Have annoyingly wasted my 3rd dose of .25mg Wegovy by forgetting to take the inner lid off so I’ve just injected what should be the 4th dose and finished the pen a week earlier than expected.

I’m going away for a month at the end of next week and this messes up my jabs/pen schedule. I’m wondering whether I should try to get my .5mg pen this week and split the first dose in two before going up to a .5 dose. It would mean that I’ve taken 5 doses at .25, then get three doses at .5mg and be back home again in time to receive the next pen.

Can anyone advise whether this is a workable idea or not, and if so how any clicks it would be for the half dose. Thanks for any advice.

Up to now I’ve had no side effects and managed to lose 5kg. I don’t want to lose momentum and would be happy to lose just another kilo or so and then maintain for the month I'm away.

Current thought is to stay as low a dose as possible for as long as possible. No need to go up if it’s providing you the suppression you need to make better food choices.

Yes, probably best to stick to .25 dose for longer. Thanks for the input, will see how it goes
