Just trying to figure out what vial sizes make sense for weekly dosing and how to calculate how many weeks a single vial will actually last. Plus the bac water math - how much to mix with the various mg options to hit your target. Need a clean reference for the whole setup.

Where did you get the medication filled?

It does get better!

You truly are gorgeous.

That sounds like a sustainable pace for you! You look amazing. And yes you must be tall as well. Thanks for sharing your story!
