Day 70 · Protocol History & Timeline

Even though this journal is just getting started, my peptide journey actually began a couple of months ago. I wanted to take a minute to document my protocol history so I have everything in one place moving forward.

One thing I’ve already learned is that I probably bought too many compounds too quickly. 😅 Sales definitely got the best of me! Looking back, I wish I had introduced things a little more slowly so it would’ve been easier to tell exactly what was helping and what wasn’t.

That’s one of the biggest reasons I’m starting this journal now. I want to slow down, stay organized, and really pay attention to what changes as I go instead of constantly wondering what might be doing what.

My Timeline

*May 19, 2026 – Retatrutide

• Started at 0.5 mg/week

• Slowly increased over time

• Currently taking 3 mg once weekly (Mondays)

• Appetite suppression took longer than I expected but I’m finally starting to notice less food noise and get full very fast.

• Biggest side effect so far has been constipation & some stomach discomfort the day of injectio

*June 1, 2026 – GHK-Cu

• Started daily injections.

• Currently taking 2 mg daily.

• I didn’t notice much at first but I also wasn’t expecting dramatic changes right away bc that’s what I’ve heard.

• Recently I switched brands and started noticing a stinging sensation after injections that I didn’t experience before. I’m curious whether that’s related to the product or something else, so I’ll continue documenting

* Late May/Early June – Selank (Nasal)

• I had really high hopes after reading other people’s experiences.

• Personally, I haven’t noticed much from it so far.

• That doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t work it just hasn’t stood out for me yet.

*July 16, 2026 – SS-31

• Added 2.5 mg daily.

• Still very early.

• So far I’ve noticed some itching and raised injection-site reactions, but nothing severe.

• Too soon to say whether it’s helping.

*July 16, 2026 – KPV

• Added 500 mcg daily.

• Only a few days in.

• No noticeable benefits or side effects yet, but I’ll keep updating as I go.

*Purchased & still learning about

Right now I also have:

• Mots-C

• 5-Amino caps

• PT-141

• Oxytocin

• MT2

None of these are part of my active protocol at the moment. I want to continue researching them before deciding when they’ll become part of my journey.

*Biggest Lesson So Far

One thing I’ve already realized is that peptides aren’t going to replace healthy habits.

I’m still working on eating more protein, drinking more water, moving my body consistently and really actually trying to cut back on sugar. Those habits are probably going to make more of a difference than I even know. 🤞

I’m hoping this journal helps keep me accountable &not just with my peptides but with building a healthier lifestyle overall & taking this time tk write it all out I think will be a big help & push to do better. So glad I am starting this! Anxious to see where I’ll be at in a few months! 😊
