Thankyou! I was quite nervous but I followed the instructions on this video and the package and it all went smoothly. And most importantly, it didn’t hurt!
Has anyone experienced this as well? After using and administering the first dose, the amount of liquid in the see through container doesn’t seem to have changed. The pressure thing hasn’t really moved it seems. It still seem full. Although after using it there was a small droplet on the tip. So it does seem that at least something went out. What do you guys think
When I turn the dose selector until I see the two dots displayed, and press the dose button, it squirts out quite a bit and I’ve been worried that a large amount of the medication is wasted when I do this. Is it completely necessary to do? There is a drop of liquid already at the tip of the needle just from putting it on and twisting it.
I was trying to figure out the same thing. If your pen looks exactly like in the video (this one is sold in the UK, might be different for ones sold elsewhere), the instructions for it say that priming is necessary only for the FIRST use.
@@olgasomova2986 If it was the first time you were using that pen, that means you might not have gotten the full dose you were supposed to. But now the liquid is definitely pushed all the way to the top, so your next dose should be the right amount (without priming it). All you can do is remember this for the next time you use a new pen, make sure to prime it before the first injection.
I'm super confused about the priming part. I did exactly whats described in the video, but when i pressed the button after i put it on the priming setting with the 2 dots, a big squirt came out. Now im unsure if theres enough in the pen for 3 additional uses.
@@nicholaslloyd1067 Talked to a bunch of people on wegowy, including people that actually work at the factory where they make this shit. Just make sure theres a tiny drop at the tip of the needle and you're good. No need for priming and potentally wasting any of it
@@olgasomova2986 Yes it worked. Priming is not so important. Just look for tiny drop on needle (then its primed) and turn to your dose. If theres no drop just shake it a little bit and it comes. Dont need to do "test hits" at all. Waste of liquid.
Should you see a change in the window where the liquid is after use? I have the pen with 4 weeks worth in it but i seen no difference in the window after the 1st use
I also don’t see the difference in liquid quality after 1 time use. As I did not follow it correct and did not do first step. I rotated it to 0.25 and injected. How to know if it worked ? Did I get that liquid or not ? Could anyone help please
Hello There should never be a difference in the liquid quality If there is discontinue. The liquid remains clear and colourless. Not seeing the yellow window block may mean you are not pressing the pen down firmly enough into your skin. Counting slowly 1-6 is a guide. It may need longer. Press down slightly more firmly than you imagine you need, and remember to hold the pen so that you can see the window. You should see the yellow bar move and you continue to press firmly into your skin until the bar stops moving. Please re read all the instructions to get more confident
Where exactly did the bubble appear? If you mean a drop of liquid after you took the pen out of your body, this can happen and is normal. It does not affect the number of full doses in the pen You should prime each pen only once, and that is before the 1st use.
@@mmapinkalland I did not prime the pen. Is it a problem ? I tired it to 0.25 and injected. Did it work ? How to know that it worked ? Or should I do it again ?
I thought first dose I made yesterday did not work. And I watched videos and made another one today. And amount of liquid decreased a lot. Now I am thinking may be yesterday it have worked. And now I made one again. It is not a problem that I have double ? I am so stupid…..
These instructions are not correct for US pens. Maybe UK style? UA-cam knows where we are searching from. It should not be the first video presented to us.
I agree, my complaint was not about the video maker or the content. Merely a gripe that youtube knows where I am searching from and shouldnt have shown me this video front and center. Was especially frustrating when I have cap off pen and ready to use for first time but I am watching obviously wrong instructions.
Thankyou! I was quite nervous but I followed the instructions on this video and the package and it all went smoothly. And most importantly, it didn’t hurt!
It really doesn't hurt, however i took 1 hour to gather my mind and do it 😂. Really painless. I just started so can't tel more
Clear steps! Helpful guide!
Thank you so much for this video. Now, I feel more confident about using wegovy!!! It's was very thoroughly explained!!!
Great easy to follow instructions. Thanks.
This is so clear and easy to follow. Thank you
Ty fir ur easy and simple instructions ❤
Very clear thanks
idk if this is just for people in the UK, but in america our pens already have the needle built in so you’ll want to watch a different tutorial
do people have to re-use the same needle? the one in the UK is 4 doses for 4 weeks. (4 needles)
@@bodgespuds No - 4 separate pens.
do you need to prime the pen before each does? or just the initial dose?
Initial
Has anyone experienced this as well? After using and administering the first dose, the amount of liquid in the see through container doesn’t seem to have changed. The pressure thing hasn’t really moved it seems. It still seem full.

So do I do the same dosage for each injection of the same needle or do I go up one every time I inject
I started with 0.25 so i will use same dosage for a month, 4 weeks, same week same dosage
Thanks, I completely forgot my doc's instructions
oh man, I wish I have seen this earlier, I just did my very first one without removing the air from the pen first.
Do I need to remove the air before each injection, or just before the first use of the pen?
@@cheeseburger881 Only when using the pen for the first time, according to the instructions.
Don’t worry. It will work anyways. Nothing happened when you skip this step.
They don't tell you to do it for the fun of it! If air gets in your bloodstream it can cause symptoms like "the bends", so it's pretty important.
@@lazylaurablueplease…. This is subcut injection. You don’t push this to the bloodstream…
Just to be clear, do you only Prime the pen on the first use, but not on the remaining 3 subsequent ones?

I did not prime it. Means was the liquid injected or not ? I am confused.

Exactly what happened with mine 😢a big squirt came out
Happened to me too, wasted two doses - very expensive when you're paying privately!

I did not prime it
Was then liquid injected in my belly or not ? How to know? I only turned it to 0.25 and injected.
Did it work ?

All good , only return lid on sharp needle is not adicsable at all
Should you see a change in the window where the liquid is after use? I have the pen with 4 weeks worth in it but i seen no difference in the window after the 1st use
Did you find out this question? I just used mine first time but wondered if it actually went in me (the liquid).
Exactly, all other guides talk about seeing a yellow infill in the window -.
I also don’t see the difference in liquid quality after 1 time use. As I did not follow it correct and did not do first step. I rotated it to 0.25 and injected. How to know if it worked ? Did I get that liquid or not ? Could anyone help please
@@bethmyles-geddes4699I’m not entirely sure but I think the yellow infill is in the one single use needles, not in the four doses needle.

What do you do if an air bubble appears after the 1st dose? Last time I tried to prime it again an entire dose squirted out (approximate cost £50).
Where exactly did the bubble appear?

What is that about with injecting it 5 cm apart from ur belly button?
Just to say if you choose your belly don't go too close to your bellybutton
The belly button area is very sensitive, it can bruise and cause discomfort
UK pens are different.
This is not how wegovy pens are in the u.s.
are these instructions for England.
Looks cheap, should come with 4 pens to avoid all the hassle.
So I just completed WASTED a dose on these instructions as they are WRONG.
same. ugh
Why is it wrong?
No they are not. You obviously did it wrong lol
They’re not wrong. Perhaps you have a different type of pen or did something incorrectly.
Overseas video

Thanks for that info! I’m just starting 😊
It's not a regional thing. There are 4 in 1 pens and single use only pens.
It states that is U.K. and you can tell from the accent. It is not all about the US !!

Yeah it's true I'm in the US, and I get 4 pens in a box
