Vanishing act: bac water woes?

Hey everyone, I've run into a weird thing with my vials of CJC (tested and from a good supplier). I added 2.5 mL of bac water to a 5mg vial. Did the same with the next vial the next week. I'm trying to dose 5mg of CJC per week; week 1 I did it as 2 doses, week 2 I did 3 smaller doses.

Week 1: First dose was 1.25 mL; second dose (3 days later) was going to be the other 1.25mL, but I only had like 0.75mL left. Week 2: First dose was 0.8 mL; second dose (2 days later) should have been 0.8mL - but when I drew out 0.8mL, the vial was totally empty.

Am I losing it? I don't think I messed up the mixing twice. Has this happened to anyone else? I usually microdose other peps and they last a while, so it's rare I fully finish a vial.
 
I almost said something, but I didn't want to be rude.

Maybe you are taking an extra dose while sleep walking?
 
I don't think you're necessarily doing anything wrong. Something similar happened to me a few months back. I got some 5ml syringes from an online retailer that weren't super accurate. I was using those to mix and Easy Touch 1ml syringes for my shots. I tested and the 5ml syringes were less than 5 of the 1ml syringes. Might be something to check.
 
No, not those. I'd have to check my order history for the brand, but mine were individually packaged and came in packs of 25. They were 22 gauge too.
 
I'm using my 1ml injection syringes for mixing, so if they aren't accurate, they'd be consistently inaccurate when I draw out the doses. I just mixed my third vial, so we'll see what happens! After adding the 2.5ml, it's not quite full, which suggests it's not a full 2.5 mL... but again, since i'm measuring doses using the same syringe, it still seems like liquid is disappearing.

It's not a huge deal dose-wise, since I'm using the full 5mg each week and it just ends up being 2 doses instead of 3.
 
Just a bit?

I use 21 and 23 when injecting oil since my hands are always sweaty. But I wouldn't inject those in my tummy, ouch.
 
So, I'm new to this, and I am trying to figure out the best way to determine the proper amount of bac water to add. Is there a standard rule of thumb? Let's say I have a 10mg vial and no instructions. How do I figure out how much water to use if I want to inject, say, 1mg per day?

I was told 1 ml of bac water for every 2mg of peptide. So for your 10mg vial, use 5ml of water. Then, if you draw 0.5ml, that's 1mg.
 
Update: Vial #3 seems to be behaving normally now after a few doses. Maybe I was just having bad luck or misreading the syringes before...? Thanks for the input, everyone!
 
started iron supplements, polysaccharide 3x weekly with c. had infusions too. hematologist said lots of people, especially wls and elderly, don't make enough stomach acid for ferrous sulfate. body absorbs better every other day anyway.
