Lilly White's Darkening Diary
07/02/09 at 00:21:45

Last night at midnight i decided to take the plunge after months of having the stuff sat in the freezer..

I am a 30 something year old Female with typically Irish colouring = Black hair, Green eyes and Blue skin !

I also have Rosacea which i have had several Pulsed Dye Laser treatments for but is an ongoing thing , i really hope i have some success with the Peptide ..i guess we will see.

This is how i am dosing ...

I put 200 units of Bac water into my 10mg vial of melanotan II , then i draw up 5 units and inject, i think i am right in saying that this amount is .25mg .... I'm sure someone will be quick to correct me if i am wrong.

I will dose this much twice daily, although last night i injected 10 units in one go. i felt a little "strange" but nothing really to speak of , i think it was more psychological, - the fact that i had just injected myself with a substance that could quite possibly have negative affects on my health.

Anyway, i will post some pics soon as i always like to see others progress in picture form, they certainly do paint a thousand words.

Yes, your calculations appear correct - and 2 x 0.25mg per day sounds nicely conservative. As so many have said here before, don't be tempted to rush!

Small point - you appear to be drawing up 5u at a time, which implies you're storing mixed peptide in the fridge. Any reason why you shouldn't make up all the syringes at once, and freeze them?

Good luck!

Hi LG, I might do that, only i was thinking of maybe upping the dose if i feel ok but if i make up pre-filled syringes i'm stuck with the same dose .

I can understand wanting to do something about the rosacea, but that Irish look you describe is probably the prettiest phenotype on the planet.

Today i have noticed that the freckles on my face are certainly darker than before so something is working... - i was slightly worried that the peptide had "gone off" because it's been in the freezer since last November but i guess this means it's ok ?.

Well, I certainly look older and have so many freckles/ moles i look like i've been pushing a Tractor out of the mud .

My Lips are darker with almost blueish patches under the skin. ... i look Dirty.

I've dropped back to 0.5 mg yesterday and the same the day before that, as i had gone up to 1mg a day ..
am actually thinking of stopping altogether.

I will lower the dose to 0.25 a day and see what happens.
Also my face is really oily when i wake up in the morning.

I have just finished my first 10.mg Vial ( was actually about 7.5 with wastage )

here's my back taken earlier today - 12 days in-

I dont know how heavy you are but i guess that you were getting the blue lips etc from that fact the 1mg of melanotan II for a person your size was too much.

I am 185lbs and plan on starting at .25mg and working up to 0.5mg, that should hopefully get me to where I want to be (if i get no bad sides).

I personally would stop for a week or so to see if your skin returns to normal then start again on a lower dose.

Hi Lilly,

As you were kind enough to be the very first person to post on my log, I thought I would return the favour!
It seems that we are pretty much on the same program and started around the same time, you have Irish blood and mine is Welsh, so we also share the same Celtic charcteritics in hair colour and skin tone.

I too am at the stage of bluesih lips and dirty look. I too have cut back the dosage to 0.5mg, it will be interesting to see if our results are similar. keep it up and good luck.

That's a shame - it seems very common that people stop at this stage; there's certainly a period of a couple of weeks where the skin starts changing in tone in a very patchy way, which doesn't look very attractive. Once the tan starts coming in the 'patchy' look is minimised as the skin around the patches starts to catch up - it's simply a matter of holding on until then.

Yes, I think that I am going through the same stage, I would say that my skin looks unhealthy at the moment, just dull and dirty I guess. It's hard to put your finger on a description, as my face doesn't really look any darker or tanned, yet appears dirty!
It's a shame that your giving up Lilly, however, I do understand, especially when you get negative feed back from those around you.
