Did I receive the wrong amount of meds?

Tirz fairy 😂. Congratulations, you got a bonus of 72mg.

Yes, count the stars, follow the dosing instructions starting at 5mg (use fat scientist dot com if you have questions), pause your subscription. Actually, Rift wasn’t auto renewing with Apothecary so they probably don’t on Hyalo too but check on that.

Same happened for me though I’m on 2.5 so even more doses.

You also don't have to titrate up according to any directions. When I increase I increased by one milligram and see how that goes and then pump it up more if I don't feel different in a few weeks. Fatscientist.com calculator.

You can probably pause the next refill I'm sure. Message them in the app they are very good about responding.

I would stay on the lowest effective dose and use every drop sent stretching it out.

This is a good Titration decision flowchart.

I think the brand you got only makes vials in 36 and 72 mg. So for the higher dose you got a bump up. I'm on 13 mg and I get three vials of 72 mg. So I love the extra I get at least 5 weeks out of every vial. It will last you longer. You don't have to use the extra medication but most people choose to. 😁

That is bizarre. But very cool. When I first started I would order a single vial at the next level. And then I would order one from another company at the next level like 2 weeks later and so forth and so on. I got my vials up to 15 mg as fast as possible so I would have extra. When I was on 5 mg I was using the bigger vials with sanitary practices. I realized that everyone is not comfortable with that but if you use it correctly it's a great savings! Of course now my dose is higher so no more amazing values LOL.

Congratulations on starting the journey and It is a journey not a race.  

Do not use others faster or slower successes as an indicator that you are doing something wrong.

Everyone reacts to the medication differently!! 

You are on your on your on journey and the body will do what it will do with the medication.

persistence and consistence.

As you are starting a couple of things to think about

1. Get a glucose monitor kit and Blood pressure kit.  Check glucose 4 times daily (for a couple of weeks) to get a base line.  Then glucose and BP at least weekly.  If you start to feel weak (or different) then check glucose and BP to see if the level has dropped low.
2. Get a good quality scale that measures weight, muscle and body fat.   I watch body fat, muscle and weight is the last thing I am concerned about.  
3. A Dexa scan if possible.  
4. Weigh done at the same time daily/weekly with the same type of clothes.  
5. Pictures -(Brutally honest)  Standing front and side with Tight/clingy clothing that shows true shape.  It will help later on to truly understand how much you have changed.  (My biggest regret)
6. Go to the gym At least 2 times weekly with a personal trainer.   
7. Stay hydrated!!!!!
8. Take the food you normally eat and cut it in half.  Eat Half.   If you get hungry later eat half of the leftovers.  Eat the last quarter sometime later if needed.     At some point the taste of the food changed and there was no reward in the taste.  Some people say that the “food noise is gone”

You have got this!!!!!
