Should I move up dose on MJ?

[HavingAGamePlan]

I did one pen on 2.5. Just about to finish my 3rd 5. Working well but I’m starting to notice less suppression by day 4/5 after jab. Previously I only noticed a change the day before jab day. The thing is I have less than a stone left to lose so is it worth moving up to 7.5 or should I stick with 5. Happy with slow and steady. I only really noticed side effects when I started and then when I moved up a dose for the first couple of weeks. So hesitant as don’t want the side effects again. Hoping to drop down to 2.5 to maintain.

If you're still losing weight at a steady pace then you don't need to move up, if you are ok with managing the lower suppression towards the end of the week.

You could consider getting a 7.5mg pen and then taking 5mg from it, which gives you the option to move to 7.5mg (or an in-between dose) early if you realise you need to.

Another option is to jab every 6 days rather than 7.

I’ve been doing this since April and it works for me as I’m still losing steadily on a low dose. I write it in my phone calendar and set a reminder so I don’t forget when jab day is.

You could stick to a 5mg pen but inject every 5 or 6 days instead of 7.

I stalled between May and beginning of July. I didn't want to go up a dose so I've jabbed 5mg every 5 days for the last 2 weeks and have lost 5lb. And suppression is back.

Thanks for the replies. I’m not sure about jabbing on different days as I like the routine of Thursday, with max suppression over the weekend. Think I’ll carry on with 5. Hoping to be at goal by sept so plenty of time.
