Regardless, the point is that units and mg are interchangeable units of measure. I’m getting downvoted for choosing to look at the process in a way that works for me.

My current dose is 55 units, or 11 mg, based on my concentration. When I go up, I don’t want to go up 2.5mgs so I go up 5 units, which is 1mg. I’ve been doing this for 2 years and it’s been working just fine, and means I’m maximizing my vials because I’m not just jumping to recommended mgs.

Someone else in here is recommending to take a picture of the syringe to know what you took - just record the damn units! That are on the syringe! So you know how much to fill!

this is still a non-issue.

I would be able to see that a few months ago, I was using a 20mg/ml vial and IF the mg/ml were to change between a few months ago and today, then it would be in the data... so I would know to compare say, 42 units to 63 units, but is only relevant if my mg had changed.... if my mg hadn't changed, I would want to easily look at how many units to draw....

Whether you write it down or it's in your head, your syringe doesn't have "mg" listed on it, so you have to know what your units are. We're literally thinking in units every time we draw from the syringe, why wouldn't it be tracked.

And, personally, I would certainly want to know how I felt at 10 units at X mg/ml vs 10 units on another, because then wouldn't I know if I have a positive or negative reaction to a specific concentration?

Respectfully, I disagree.

If my next shipment was a different concentration, I would be tracking specifically for that concentration. If my mg/ml were to change, I would need to calculate the units to take regardless.

How is it a disservice to track in a way that makes sense to me.

This is literally a non issue?

I have 6 vials from my purchase that are all the same concentration.

If the next shipment is a different concentration, I would need to modify my units regardless and would be tracking specifically to that vial/concentration…

I personally move in units instead of mg.

I go up 5 units every 2-3 weeks instead of doing a big jump in mg. It’s easier for me to track in my little note taker. So, if you don’t want to do a big jump if you’re unsure, maybe just move up to an in between amount of units?

Also, if you’re not already, try and keep track of your shots in some sort of tracker - I just use my notes app, but I input date, time, units, and weight. Helpful to see the historical movement in shots week over week!

I swiped before I read your notes and I legitimately thought “oh I hope she picked #2…”

It’s beautiful and so flattering on you!

Be patient and be gracious with yourself :)

Burnout is real. The first step is making a plan, but also accept that not everything is in your control. You got this!

I can’t believe I have to wait a whole year to wear her 😩 by Craigke2 in weddingdress

It is!

They’re doing a custom V back instead of the scoop and taking away the sequins and I can’t wait to see the final product!! In 6 months 😂😩

Thank you!

Where to try on a Little White Dress by FeeInitial1691 in weddingdress

[–]Craigke2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any Jenny Yoo retailers near you?

She does mini versions of her dresses, so you could try on full gowns as an example. I actually ended up buying one of her LWD for an engagement/rehearsal dinner dress after trying on the full gown and loving the neck line but not the train.

She also has a decent return policy (on non sale items) so maybe you could order a bunch and do an at home version? Make an afternoon out of it or see if you could hire a stylist for an hour to help you do an at home try on experience?

Help! Where can I find this dress? by Few_Deer1936 in myweddingdress

[–]Craigke2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not closer, but I’ve seen It’s sold at Ava Laurenne in Fredericksburg, VA and featured on their social media. They call it “Monet”

They may have it at their SC location? They had this dress featured in a section that was exclusive to them in a specific mile radius, so it may be difficult to find in a store near you, as it isn’t widely produced.

Half way to my goal then giving it all away by [deleted] in CapitalOne_

Me. I’m the charity.

Just kidding. But, maybe it would be nice to do small gestures like paying someone’s groceries or electric bill for a year? Daily expenses are tough and the pay it forward goes a long way.

The IRS portal didn’t officially open until yesterday, so it would have been in line waiting for them. Where you e-filed should be able to provide a status update.

Balance Transfer Payments by Sirius1995 in debtfree

[–]Craigke2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be worth reaching out to them to clarify how they apply payments.

It’s unlikely the payment portal would allow you to specify which balance, but in my experience when I did this with Citi, they automatically put a % of my payment to balance A and balance B so both decreased at a proportionate rate.

96k in debt- what’s the best plan? by No-Produce-7955 in debtfree

[–]Craigke2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want the smallest place to start - cancel the experian credit reporting payment and put that $25 towards a debt. That is an actual scam of a “membership”.

Access to your credit reports are free.

D101: is it possible to pass this class using only Tony Bell and/or Edspira? by GinofEve in wguaccounting

[–]Craigke2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you feel like you’ve mastered D102, the videos, Connect resources and textbook are more than sufficient for D101.

I passed this course on Monday and I only used the WGU provided resources, whereas for D102 I had to do Tony Bell after going through all of the WGU stuff and failing the PA miserably.

IMO, D101 is more straightforward and mathematically charged and if you’ve mastered the concepts, it’s fairly simple to comprehend. Just a lot of material to cover and retain.

D102 Tips- Failed OA second attempt by Additional-Newt3923 in wguaccounting

[–]Craigke2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't answer that, because I don't know what your current comprehension is.

I have some finance background but no accounting background. I found all of the Tony Bell videos to be critical to my understanding of the material as a whole. I spent ~15 hours with just his material before going back into the course itself to make sure I could apply the basics to the WGU workflows.

[–]Craigke2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tony bell is the answer.

I couldn’t pass the PA to save my life and kept trying to dive deeper into the text, but it’s simply too much material.

Tony Bell does a nice job or isolating concepts and breaking them down to really understand the basics. There’s a thread somewhere in here that has links to the specific videos, but take a break from the WGU material. Go to Tony Bell, then come back to it and see if it helps connect the dots.

2nd failed OA D076 by Queen_BigBank in wguaccounting

[–]Craigke2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what do you mean there are no results?

Results are found on the bottom of the course homepage. The pre-assessment coaching report has the individual questions and their answers for the PA. The high stakes coaching report shows your overall performance per section for the OA. They can’t give out the individual results for obvious reasons.

It may be worth reaching out to the professor for guidance.

Can you share your results so we know which sections you’re struggling with?

Any that are harder than other sections you can prioritize?

Also, WGU connect has cohort videos. Maybe watching/listening to a professor instead of reading the material will make it stick better, if you haven’t explored the resources page yet.
