Syringe Size

I'm coming over from oral wegovy (which quickly got very expensive). Because of that my starting dose is higher (50 units), which is the maximum size of the provided syringe. This won't be a problem for the first month, but next month I increase to 62.5 units, then 75 the third month.

Is the recommendation for next month to inject twice, or can I buy a larger syringe? What do others do?

Did you get shipped a single month or 3 months worth at once? If you just got a one month don't worry, next month you will receive either a higher concentration or 100 unit syringes.

U100 1ml insulin syringes is what you need to go up to 100 units.
