stace12,  
 
If you are only able to get 8-9 injections from a 10 mg vial then that would mean that you are injecting somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.25 to 1 mg per injection.
 
This is how that works:
 
10mg / 8 injections = 1.25 mg / injection
10mg / 10 injections = 1 mg / injection
 
Based upon the experiences of other forum members a reasonable starting point dosage wise for nearly everyone is 0.25 mg / injection.
 
The easiest way to give oneself this amount is to inject 2 mL (200 iu) into the vial which gives a 10 mg per 2 mL concentration level.
 
At this concentration level and given a 1 mL syringe with 100 tick marks on the side the following would be the amount per tick:
 
10 mg / 200 ticks = 0.05 mg/tick
 
So to administer oneself 0.25 mg at this concentration level one would inject 5 units of solution.
To administer oneself 0.5 mg one would inject 10 units of solution.
To administer oneself 1 mg  one would inject 20 units of solution.
 
The 0.0025 figure comes from the clinical trials performed with melanotan II for sexual dysfunction. The dosage suggested for those trials was 0.0025 mg/Kg of weight.

I think you mean 1 mL (not 100 mL) per syringe. So if you inject 1 mL into a vial of 10 mg of peptide then you have a concentration of 0.1 mg per tick (on a 1 mL syringe with 100 tick marks).
 
So if you've been injecting yourself with 1 tick mark's worth of reconstituted solution then yes you've been dosing at 0.1 mg / injection.
 
At that concentration level:
 
2 ticks would equal 0.2 mg.
 
5 ticks would equal 0.5 mg  
 
10 ticks would equal 1 mg <- this is what you are describing so this is likely the approximate level of drug that you have been injecting yourself with per injection.

I don't know what leaflet you're going by but I can tell you that if you have a vial with 10 mg of peptide and you are getting a total of 10 injections from all of the reconstituted solution in the vial then on average you are injecting yourself with 1 mg per injection (or less if not all of the solution is injected). This should be easy to understand from a common sense standpoint. 10 mg divided by a total of 10 injections means 1 mg per injection: 10 injections x 1 mg = 10 mg. The leaflet is either bad and should not be relied upon or you are misreading it.

some one please help me i am using the spread sheet to help me with the dosages and im not understaning what it means by "This means you will need to draw 3.5 units for each daily dose".does this mean i have to inject that amount into me or inject that much of the water into the powder

Vee, Most 1 ml syringes are have 100 units marked on their side (therefore, 100 units = 1 ml) so when you add 1 ml to the 10 mgs in the vial:
100 Units will equal the whole 10 mgs in the vial
10 Units will equal 1 mg
5 units will equal .5 mgs.

Hi Vee,
 
I was really confused until I actually had everything in front- I am guessing you have not received your melanotan and syringes yet?
 
This is what I did and my supplier said it was fine-
 
1) I want to start with 0.25mg
2) I fill up a syringe with 100 units of bac water twice to make 200units and sqwirt it into the 10mg   melanotan  
3) roll gently until dissolved
4)I then take my first syringe and fill up to 5 units to make 0.25mg  
 
I wanted to start slowly as I am type 1 and was worried about moles freckles. If you need any help pm me. (some people start with 100 units bac water)
 
Fi

so 10mg mixed with 1ml water, 90iu's, I should take 5iu's per day this is 0.5mgs?? is this correct, sorry for being stupid  

No I havent done a lot of research to be honest, just bits and pieces that friend told me, thats why I wanted some advice off the melanotan usage and "experimentation" forum

Quoting back text of the forum description isn't going to help your case and in fact is likely sooner going to annoy regular forum members.
 
Here is where can you start to understand these drugs:
