Link to Pumbaa's 12/22 thread.

Still trying to wait patiently for bounces to clear before I declare the dose reduction to 2.75U a failure. But it's really hard seeing pinks and yellows, and not caving in to the desire to increase the dose before letting him settle down. :YMSIGH:

The good news is that Pumbaa is acting great (i.e. like his normal, high-energy juvenile delinquent self) with these high numbers, when he used to be lethargic (and sometimes snarky) at high numbers.

I think, give it more time.

I look at the cycles he had on 2.75 the last time, and there's a lot of pinks, and then right after you upped to 3, bam.
I look at the cycles he had on 3.0, and you had 2 sub-50 cycles, and a third cycle with a 51 in it. Then you upped, and on the 2nd cycle, bam.

I think on 3 out of the past 4 increases you've done, he went green within the first cycle at the increased dose? So my strategy would be this...
On the cycle you are absolutely convinced that you need to increase, wait one more cycle. It seems like every time you talk about increasing, he must read over your shoulder and think "ok, let me mess with her head....I'm going low this cycle, and she'll wonder for days if it was due to the increase, or whether I was going green anyway". Tell him you're upping, but then don't! Worth a try anyway...

That matters more to me than the numbers you've caught on the meter the past couple of days.

I think Carls idea has merit for Pumbaa.

By the way, Suze, it would be great and we'd really appreciate it if you could link your previous condo...even if it is five days in the past....in your current one? I was trying to. At h up on your condos since the 17th and I had to search them.

Thanks! :-D :-D

*LMAO* You've got Pumbaa nailed!

Had he not gone blue last night and this morning, I would already be planning on increasing him at the PM dose tonight. It looks like it's taking him 10 or more cycles to really settle down into a dose, so I need to hitch up my patience pants and give him all the time he needs to settle in.
