I plan on bringing this up with my doctor at my next blood work visit, but was curious if anyone had experience with this.

I’ve been having issues with feeling kind of crappy about a day before my shot is due. Getting overheated, tired, irritable, etc. Previously when that happened my dose was bumped up a bit, but my dose is already on the upper end of a typical dose so I’m not sure I want to ask to keep bumping it up.

That said, does anyone have experience with dealing with late shot cycle ickyness by doing a 5 or 6 day shot cycle instead of once a week? I’m wondering if a lower dose more often would help reduce the hormonal drop off or just make it happen more often.

I’ve been on gel before but doing it daily is a huge pain and I’d like to avoid going back on it if I can get these damn shots tweaked right.

    Possibly dumb question here, but for twice a week do you do it every 3.5 days? Like do it Sunday morning and then Wednesday night, for example? Or when you’re doing it twice a week have you found it doesn’t matter as long as it’s 3-4 days apart?

    Adding this to the list of things to ask my doctor about but I appreciate personal experience!

      Some people do every 3.5 days but I didn’t like the evening injection so now I just do them both in the morning. Same 2 days every week.
