Flat-ish yellow all night. Hopefully that means she'll start working the juice today because I'm itching to decide whether or not this is a failed reduction. Putting on my patience pants for at least a couple more cycles, but the threat is there, Noodle! Vines to all who need them today!

Hmmmmm, flat yellows.... I hope Noodle knows what she's supposed to do after that

Good idea to wait another cycle or two irrespective so as to give her depot a chance to get full again after the missed shot

I hope the flat yellow means action today.

Thanks for the visits ladies. I plan on being patient, but hoping she works the juice tonight! Another flat yellow day cycle. At least it's not pink!

PM+2.5 383/419

So, should I call this a failed reduction since she's jumped up from the flat cycles and increase to 1.25u tomorrow? Tomorrow PM if no improvement? Tonight is cycle 5 since the last dose of the 18 hour cycle. I don't want to hang at 1u longer than I should and risk toxicity.

I think I'd do the AM cycle at the same dose just to make sure that she's really got the skipped/late doses out of her system and if she's not in better numbers by tomorrow PM, go back to 1.25

i agree with Chris - i'd allow 6 consecutive cycles after your 18 hr cycles before deciding. It's looking like she needs more, though, so unless something changes in the next day I think you'll probably want to go back up.

Thanks, @julie & punkin (ga) and @Chris & China. I think I just needed to hear it was ok to wait another cycle. I'm wondering how to handle a low +12 like that in the future. It seems the 18hr cycle was harder for her to recover from on a lower dose.
