Sounds like your doing well and your not getting to many sides. I am just hitting the 5mg mark i tried to jump from 0.5mg to 1 mg and i felt like i was going to die LOL not really just got bad nausea and vommited. I think you have done the right thing by stepping it up gradually.
Good luck

Day 10 - 6.4 mgs in
 
When I woke up today I did feel that my "little friend" was very much alive. But I'm not getting any of these uncontrollable boners people have talked about. And they're not really random.. Just when I wake up and maybe if I think about something really really saucy.. But that's nothing out of the ordinary.  
 
Like I've mentioned I'm working outside, I'm covering all parts of my body except for my face... I'm burning a little bit right now.. But next week we're not supposed to get any sun here so I guess that might even things out.  
 
10th injection
Just did 1 mg into my right thigh. This is turning into a habit.
 
Can somebody tell me, is there an advantage to shooting into the stomach area vs. shooting into the thighs? I just think that shooting into the thighs is much more comfortable.

Day 11 - 7.4 mgs in

11th injection - left thigh - felt good, no problems
 
Futuretan:
Hmm interesting, definitely a lot less painful for me... Not that shooting in the stomach kills me or anything... Just more convenient.

Hey PB, here's a trick to get most of the remaining melanotan II out of the vial... just "rinse" it with some fresh sterile water, then pull it back out and inject it.  That way you get a lot of the remaining melanotan II out of the vial before you toss it.

Day 13 - 9.4 mgs in
 
Newish sides? - I don't know if this is a coincidence but I just about NEVER have sexual dreams.. I don't know why.. But the last three nights (that's three times in a row) have been wow wow wee wah!  
 
Ok so tonight I had to premix syringes again, using another vial. I blended reconstituted the melanotan II with 150 ml of sterile water. I planned on upping my injections to 1.5 mgs (using the chart, roughly - I am about 76 kgs now). However, when there was little or close to nothing left in the vial I had filled 6 syringes with 1.5 mgs (22.5 units each) and then I had to shoot a little more sterile water into the vial just to get that little thing that was left... So to be honest I have no idea how much I'm really going to be shooting with that syringe but I'll use it tonight... I'm going to assume it's 1 mg although it's probably a little less.
 
13th injection - right thigh. Ok tonight was a little scary... I stabbed the needle in, no problem... Then I started injecting... At the end when I was about to draw the needle out I felt it needed to be a little bit more to the right to be 45° inside so I moved it just a little (because the skin of my foot was being stretched just a little)... so when I moved it I heard a tiny little "skin pinching sound" (don't know how else to describe it) then I drew out the needle and voila! There was blood and the most I've seen during my cycle. I immediately took a sterile wipe and put it on and held it for a few seconds... Then the blood was completely gone... Did I just hit a blood vessel or something?
 
 
 

Day 14 - 10.9 mgs in
 
The darkening of moles is getting more apparent every day. They keep adding up...
 
Got my second tan comment today. My mom.. She said: "You look so brown, have you been using sunbeds?" and I replied "No!" ... then she said "Oh it's just mud isn't it" and I replied "mud!??" then she asked if she wasn't allowed to joke around.... ANYWAYS.. something's happening! Haven't been getting any sun for a few days which I like, it will return on friday.. I'll start gradually getting UV from that day.

14th injection - Just did 1.5 mgs in my left area above stomach... Hurt a little actually.. as I'm using more liquid this time around. Feel a very mild nausea coming over me. Nothing to worry about though.

I don't know about Melanotan, but in the case of AAS (which is meant to be injected intamuscularly rather than subcutaneously) injecting into a blood vessel can cause coughing fits, nausea, dizziness, and in severe cases shock and death.  Hitting a blood vessel without injecting isn't a big deal.

Day 15 - 12.4 mgs in
 
Ok so today I woke up with an erection and they were pretty frequent throughout the day without any arousing thoughts happening... Just friction
 
I was just reading the forum and a post called "brain frying??????" where someone mentioned a resource that claimed anyone who took melanotan II would die within two years... This is pretty darn obviously not the case... But I still need to hear some encouraging words from users.. And it would be helpful to hear something else than "Look at me, I'm still alive". Something scientific   Oh and then I read here in my own log that it might possibly be the case with melanotan II, that if I were to hit a blood vessel, I could die... Is it really like that??? I need to know :S I doubt it is because I would have thought it would be more frequently talked about if it could mean death.... What happened to Spencer anyways?  
 
15th injection - Just injected into my stomach area - right side. Stung pretty bad for a couple of minutes but I'm good now.

Hey PB, as I recall pics of Spencer have popped up somewhere unrelated to melanotan II, and he had a wicked tan, so he must still be on melanotan II after all these years.  And Endymion96 has been on it for 4 years per his recent posts.  And Clinuvel had a press release today saying that "Phase I and II human clinical trials using afamelanotide (CUV 1647) have demonstrated that the drug is well tolerated and no significant safety concerns have been identified to date".

Hi PB, do you have any pics, I didn't see them on here and was wondering if they were on another thread? That's great you're noticing a change so soon and getting compliments. I wish I had started a couple months ago myself so if I get a response I could enjoy it during the summer. At least we have long summers here in NC
