Started my 1st melanotan II Cycle
03/29/05 at 15:13:31
 
Yesterday I received my first order from Derek! I waited until lastnight do do the first injection because I was afraid I might become sick. I injected 1.35 mg last night and waited to start feeling really sick. About 15 minutes after the injection my face got a real warm feeling and was alittle flushed. I felt somewhat sick to my stomach but I never got sick. One thing I did that may have helped is I took a phenergan pill about 30 minutes before the injection just in case. I will do my next injection tomorrow. I will let you know how things go.

I hope you've taken a 'before' picture in a controlled environment. Wink

I did not take a before picture in a controlled enviornment. However, I do have a picture that was taken before I started my first cycle. You can't see it in this picture very well but I have light brown freckles pretty much all over. I have dark brown hair but very light skin. I can get a very light tan during the summer but I have to go to the tanning bed a lot to keep any color. I would also have to be very careful about burning. Tonight I will take my 5th injection (first cycle -injecting every other day) and I am very pleased with the results. I decided to use the tanning bed during my first cycle. I will say this as far as my freckles are concerned. I don't think I have developed more freckles but the ones I have are darker but at the same time so is all of my skin. I believe the difference will soon even out. I bought enough from Derek to keep cycling through the end of the year. Everyone at my job has been asking me what lotion I am using in the tanning bed and saying how much color I have gotten. I have not told anyone about taking melanotan II. (they would think I was crazy injecting myself with this stuff) I will take updated pictures this weekend and post them on the board.

Sorry Picture is so big. It is the only one I had that showed how pale I am before melanotan II and I am not very good at digital photos and uploading.
Sorry!!!

Well maybe not a controlled environment, but it's definitely better than no picture.  I think the large picture actually gives a better impression of skin tone.  Make sure to keep us updated with an after picture.
 
Thanks

Could you please describe how/where you administer the injection to yourself?
 
Arm? Thigh? Buttocks?  Into a vein?  Into a muscle? Or just under the skin?
 
Other than the vile of melanotan II....  does it come with any instructions how to use it?

Thanks for the post.  
 
Actually, you don't look that pale in the photo at all. If you think THAT'S pale....LOL
 
So you got tan after just 5 injections?  If I recall, other people on this board say it takes more than 1 cycle to see results.  
 
Pls keep us updated.  Thx.

I am injecting in the hip. As far as instructions- you can get all the information you need from different posts on the board. melanotan II is given as a Sub-Q injection and I am using a diabetic needle size 30 guage/ 1CC. The needle size is very short and very easy to inject. I may not look pale but trust me all my life I have struggled to obtain any sort of a tan. I would just get burnt and my freckles would get darker making the surrounding skin appear more pale. I wish all the freckles would just connect together!! I promise I will upload pictures Monday morning of my progress!!

Hey Shannon- I'm was just wondering where are you storing the melanotan II- in the fridge or the freezer?
 
I am going to place an order soon, but I live with someone and I also don't want to tell them I'm injecting this stuff. I was just wondering if you had to keep it cold or if I could store it at room temp.  
 
Any suggestions??

Yes, I had problems uploading pictures because the files were too big so I have had to do a lot of cropping. I probably need to also put this post under my original thread but here are my pictures. The were taken after my 5th injection and I had  3 tanning bed sessions. Me and my family went to the beach ( too cool to lay out in sun). Me an my little boy went for a walk on the beach. You can see how burnt his cheeks got (he got my fair skin) I didn't get burnt at all. The second picture is me and my husband. He has naturally darker skin than me but it is funny he got a little burnt too! I feel like the melanotan II has really helped me but I will let you judge for yourself. This is why I am looking for another source of melanotan II , I have only 11 injections left and I wanted to have enough to last through summer.

Shannon-
Thanks a lot for the follow up pics.  
 
I have a few questions for you, since my order is about to come in.
 
1) You're a very attractive woman, so pls don't take this the wrong way -- it appears that your freckles in the 'after' pics are much more noticeable than in the 'before' pics.  
 
Did melanotan II give you more freckles than you previously had, and/or did it make your existing freckles much more noticeable?  
 
I also have a tendency to freckle, and Endymion and a few others have said that melanotan II does not make you freckle more...but another dude on the board said he did freckle more from melanotan II.
 
2) What kind of reaction did you get from friends, etc?  Was your tan noticeable that people who know you are commenting on how you got tan?  
 
3) Are you satisfied with the results of melanotan II?
 
Thanks again for the posts.

I think the freckles that I already had( the ones that you can see year round) got darker. However, there where some that I would call new freckles. But I would not worry too much about them because I have finished my 3rd cycle and the rest of my skin has really tanned which in turn has evened out my skin. I am very happy with the results. I am in the process of trying to order some more. I will also say this- I am using a tanning bed 2 x a week for 7-10 minutes. I use the Sun Board Bronzing bed. That is what I get the best results from. The best part is that I can spend an entire day outside and not look like a lobster at the end of the day. I will try to remember to tak some pictures this evening so you can see how much darker I am after completing 3 cycles. Something else that I noticed is that it seems if you are going to get new freckles/ darker ones it happens early on during the cycling and then seems to level off and the rest of you skin catches up. Yes- everyone at my office and my family has made comments on how dark I am getting. The only one who knows I using melanotan II is my husband and my sister. I just tell everyone else I use and tanning bed and found a really great lotion!!

Hi, Shannon:
 
Looks like there's a line (darker vs. lighter) going down your upper arm in the beach photo.  I assume that's just a photo artifact?

hey can you please let me know who you place another order with? I am contemplating a few people but am unsure of who to order w/ b/c its my first time. I would also prefer someone in the US. Also, what dosage did you use? I am about 110 pounds and I think that I can get away with using 1.5mg so that I can finish a cycle in under 25mgs. Please let me know. Thanks!
ps. You look great!!!

Endymion,
 
Now, there are two people (at least) on this board who have said that melanotan II gave them more pronounced frekcles or even new freckles.  
 
Since I think you said before you didn't freckle, yet have a tendency to freckle, I guess it just depends on the individual reponse to melanotan II?  
 
I think for my initial experimentation with melanotan II, I'm just going to go about my normal business in the summer sun and not lay out or go to a tanning booth.  I'm curious to see what will happen if I do that.

As far as dosing amounts, I weigh 55kg and I used 1.3 mg of melanotan II. I am in the process of looking for a new supplier when I for sure find one,  as long as the supplier doesn't mind, I will be happy to share the info with you.
