used the wrong size insulin syringe for like 3 weeks and now im embarrassed

okay so this is probably a dumb question and maybe I should just search but I wanted to share what happened to me because maybe it helps someone else who is as clueless as I was when I started

so I ordered some BPC-157 a few months ago from a supplier (not gonna name them yet, still deciding if I want to do a full review) and I was trying to figure out syringes and I just... grabbed the wrong ones. I bought 1cc insulin syringes thinking bigger was fine, like more volume = more flexibility right? not sure if that makes sense even now but that was my logic at the time

the problem is I was dosing really small amounts and I could barely read the markings accurately on the 1cc barrel. like the lines are so tiny and spread out differently and I kept second guessing myself every single time. was I drawing 250mcg or 300mcg? genuinely no idea half the time. I'd hold it up to the light like five times and still not be confident

should have been using the 0.5cc or even the 0.3cc ones apparently?? someone in another thread mentioned that and I felt so dumb reading it

not sure if this affected my results or not, probably did. the dosing was definitely inconsistent I think. not blaming the peptide for maybe not working as well as it should have those first few weeks because that's probably on me

anyway if you're new like me, smaller barrel = easier to read small volumes. apparently this is like basics 101 and nobody told me lol. again sorry if this is a waste of a thread
