First time trying melanotan II. Decided to make a log to track my progress. I'm a true type 1 with red hair but very little if any freckles. I dont spend a lot of time in the sun so maybe thats the reason. I've also never really burned because of that.
 
I will be using low doses of 0.25mg - 0.5mg to start with. I've seen good results in others with a similar approach so I don't really see a reason to go higher and rush it.
 
Day 1 - 0.25mg no sides to report
Day 2 - 0.3mg no sides
Day 3 - 0.3mg no sides
Day 4 - 0.3mg no sides
Day 5 - 0.5mg no sides
Day 6 - 0.5mg no sides
 
At this point I've seen maybe a few freckles on my arm go darker. I took a pic today (day 6) but can't add it yet since I don't have 5 posts.  
Also a few dumb questions. Can I mix with sterile water since it would be easier to obtain? Should I start preloading syringes since it takes me ~20-30 days to go through one 10mg vial or will it last in a fridge that long?

Day 7 - 0.5mg no sides
Day 8 - 0.5mg no sides
 
I haven't experienced any sides yet but I definitely have some new dark freckles/moles.

Thanks for the response. I'll order some bac water then, its no big deal. I will try to spend as much time as possible in the sun. Its been cloudy lately so I haven't had the chance. Hopefully I wont have to resort to using a sunbed.  

Day 14 - 0.6mg total, injected before and after sun
Day 15 - 0.5mg
Day 16 - 0.8mg
Day 17 - 0.6mg
Day 18 - 1mg
Day 19 - 0.6mg
Day 20 - 0.6mg
Day 21 - skipped
 
Still no sides. Here's the pic from week 1.
 

Yes, with melanotan II, I noticed facial hair darkening at 21 days. I think you should slowly get some uv now.
Be careful with sunbeds that you don't burn keep it low to start.

Haven't posted any updates since I don't think this forum is very active and not a lot of people are interested. Just started my 6th 10mg vial. I've been injecting 1mg daily and getting regular sun exposure the past two weeks. I definitely have a noticable tan. I'm happy with the color I have now, though I may try sunbeds to see how much darker I can go. Still amazes me every time I look in the mirror, only now I realize how pale I have been all my life. I dont see myself stopping melanotan.
 
One thing that confuses me is the hair color. I haven't seen any difference yet but and only some of my facial hair is dark. Maybe it takes time? I'll keep injecting 1mg every day for now and see what happens.

Okay well, here's a pic I took a while back. First time I ever had a tanline.

In total I've injected 70mg. My skin tone is pretty much the same from last update since there is no sun. I'm very confident I would be a lot darker if I just had some sun. Very unfortunate, maybe its time for sunbeds. I'm still injecting 1mg a day in hopes of getting black hair but its only partially darker.  
 
I'll post some more pics if I decide to use sunbeds. After this vial I'm thinking of lowering the dosage to 1mg EOD or even just twice a week.

Not much to update. Been injecting 1mg EOD but noticed my beard doesn't stay as dark then. Back to 1mg ED for now. Haven't had any UV exposure in a month but my color is still the same. I have no idea how long a tan is supposed to last and if melanotan II can maintain it properly without UV. There's always the sunbeds if I feel the need to tan.

You could hit the tanning bed a lot harder. In my experience, and we have a similar complexion, after about 50 mg into a cycle I can tan in a bed as long as the salon  allows for usually 20 minutes depending on the level bed.  
 
If I were you I would start tanning at the salon now a couple times a week and only take a shot on that same day about two hours prior to your tanning session.  You could also lower your dose to .5. Basically when you get to the point in the loading phase that your facial hair is coming in black then you can effectively tan just as well as someone that is Italian or Greek perhaps that has dark hair. This will also make the spot your worried about less noticeable or totally indistinguishable because you'll be so tan.  
 
Try it out you'll be amazed at how well your skin can handle the rays now and it feels amazing to get that much sun and not burn, a feeling I could never experience prior to melanotan II. Now I can stay out surfing all day and never worry about burning.

Little update. I'm very tanned now, I used sunbeds three times a week at 18 minutes for a month. People are starting to tell me to stop tanning so I've had a slight break. I'll post pictures later.
 
Unfortunately royal mail fucked me over and they aren't sending my package so I've been out of melanotan II for a week now. I cant find another place to order from so if anyone knows an european source, PLEASE PM ME! Its very urgent.
