finally got around to having blood work done again to check my levels, I feel like they're pretty low for my last dose to be 1 week ago.
Anyway I asked my endo to (officially) up my dosage frequency from once every two weeks to at least once a week, and I also asked him if we could up my dose (4mg).
He agreed to increase my frequency but not my dose.
I didn't tell him i'd already switched to once a week but now I'm trying to convince him to up my dose as well, hopefully he agrees otherwise I'm going to have to awkwardly tell him I'd been doing once a week doses for the last 1.5 months.
edit: nevermind he responded quickly basically saying not for 3-4 weeks at least, and if my levels don't improve i'll have to go in to get shots instead of doing it at home (which i hate because I have to make time away from work).
Actually you don't have to tell doctors anything. Just keep getting him to do labs every few months until you're happy with the numbers.
I want to do this but I have to rely on him to keep my prescription refills up. I definitely could do this if i switch to DIY though.
This doesn't make any sense to me. Why would the injections be different if you did them in different place?
He said it was to make sure I'm using the correct technique for injection but my partner has been doing them for me and she's had actual classes for injection techniques (?) so I dunno what his problem is.
