3/17 - Trixie AMPS 265, PMPS 252 - Increase?

[Kat & Trixie]

So discouraged for my girl

This morning was the 6th cycle of 1u. Can I increase tonight to 1.25u or should I wait a few more cycles?

Yes, you can increase to 1.25U tomorrow unless she surprises you with some green tonight.

This dose is not seeing her go below 170 or so. She is not new to blues and greens and you are working your way back up to a good dose after a few failed reductions.

Not dosing advice, just talking (and bumping your post ) but reading through the section about increases in the TR sticky, the first bullet point says you can increase after 3-5 days with nadirs under 200.

Edit: Bhooma beat me to it

Thank you Bhooma, I appreciate the words of encouragement. I really need it. Feels like I’m failing her.

I will increase her dose to 1.25u tomorrow.

Thank you for looking out for us Tim

You aren't failing her at all!!

She couldn't take those back-to-back reductions from 1U to a drop. The good thing is that she had flattened out beautifully to blues and greens and we can hope for a repeat once you get her to a good dose.

Thank you for reminding me of that.

One thing to remember - there is only so much you can do. And with TR you are increasing as fast as you safely can. The rest is up to Trixie's body. It will respond in due course.
