Still nervous about the actual mixing part

Posted by aspiring_codes in Beginner Questions - 2 points, 0 comments.

Im finally feeling ready to try some basics for recovery, but im honestly still kinda intimidated by the reconstitution part. I've read a bunch of protocols, but the math always makes me second guess myself. Like, calculating how many mcg are in a specific tick mark on the syringe just feels like a recipe for a mistake if im not careful.

Does anyone have a simple way they double check their math before they actually mix the bacteriostatic water in? I dont want to mess up the concentration and end up taking way more than I planned. I usually just use a calculator on my phone, but I worry im missing something basic about how the volume works.

Also, for those of you who were terrified of the first pin, did it get easier fast or did you stay jittery for a few weeks? I keep telling myself its just a tiny needle, but my brain is still fighting me on it 👀. Just looking for some reassurance from people who started out as cautious as I am ❓
