F48, here to learn more about glp-1s and cheaper sourcing. I’ve gotten a couple of one-vials.

I gained 50 pounds with each pregnancy, lost all once and most other times. Gained due to mood meds that never let me feel “full” until I was physically overfilled. Sucks coming off that stuff in Jan-Feb of Midwest winters. I’m in flyover country, hence Chicago- “ish.”

Let’s be honest perimenopause is not kind - hormones are all over the place so research is extremely limited on … frankly anything.

So … brighter side … I’m fighting for my health. It’s time, I’m not getting younger. I’m heavy on muscle (per inBody) My bones are strong (dexa). I’m being proactive.

Mods ask for a statement on safety… I believe in calculated risk. Doing your own research is important, and learning what’s important to do , to do things safely. We are here to bust ignorance- which is lack of knowledge or exposure to something. But individuals need to learn what’s stupid - what’s harmful and a why. I have patience for ignorance, and hope others are patient with mine. Foolishness needs to called out to stop bad information from getting glommed into incorrectly.

Future plans are for triz. I tried sema and it did not go well with moods. (I generally do not have SI ever and it was creeping in.) I ordered reta and it did not reconstitute well - it was a gel. I used the BAC I ordered from the supplier. The supplier replaced it for free after photos and a phone call, but it’s still sitting, dry.

So at this point trying to settle on a supplier and try to learn what I can do in case things dip again.

Thanks for having me.
 
I feel a lot of this! I was reading in another place that sometimes people get gelling if there’s not enough bac but I know there are several possibilities. Good luck!

Thanks! Appreciate any suggestions.

It was 10mg Reta and I ended up adding 3mL which is all the vial would hold, practically. I had wondered if there was enough so added what I could measure. Everything was room temp when I mixed it, I was gentle with letting the BAC in there. I let it set for 24 hours and it hadn’t improved. Beautifully consistent … gel. 🙂

I have some ph strips - very course as they are broad range, but both BAC left in the vial and the mixture showed neutral.

The supplier seemed confused on the call, they publish COA and are reputable. I was happy they sent more, but they didn’t send additional BAC 🙃 so have not tried again.

Appreciate your thoughts that you shared, I will have to dig more to find other potential problems.
