Yesterday got away from me before I could create a post for Harvey. There's not really much to report. He has stayed consistently pink since we bumped him up to 5.5 units the night of September 5. This morning makes his 6th shot of 5.5. Does this mean I should go to 6 units this evening? Or would it be better to make the jump with a morning shot so that I can get precise hourly readings throughout the day?

You don’t need precise readings. I’d take him up tonight.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

I agree. Better not to wait.

@Wendy&Neko Would a larger increase make sense at this dose size and nadirs over 300?

 

[BonnieBT]

He just hit 289 at +6. This is the first time I've seen yellow on his spreadsheet since one brief, shining moment on September 4.

 

[BonnieBT]

Wow, and now at +7 he's at 266.

 

[Bandit's Mom]

Unless you see a number below 200 today, you are good for an increase tonight.

 

[BonnieBT]

Okay, thanks. I think I'll go up by .5 again since I'm basically just holding it for 6 cycles.

Okay, thanks. I think I'll go up by .5 again since I'm basically just holding it for 6 cycles.

Yes, for doses between 5U and 10U dose changes are in multiple of 0.5U. Since you are following TR, you would increase every 6 cycles if you don't see nadirs below 200.

Good luck with the increase. The 0.5 unit increase was the right choice.
