Sixty pounds down on vials here and never tested either - consistent suppression told me everything I needed. I'd only shell out if I ever had a bad batch or switched to someone unproven, otherwise it's just a fee for anxiety relief.
Batch testing - is it worth it?
48 down on my source and never tested either. The consistent week-to-week response settled it for me, and honestly one lab sheet wouldn't have changed anything. I'd only consider it if I had to start over with someone new.
Down 42 myself and in the same camp - my appetite response has been so steady that a single sheet of paper wouldn't tell me much. The money felt better spent staying stocked than on a one-time check. Only time I'd reconsider is if results suddenly went sideways with no explanation.
Down 32 myself and the steady suppression week to week is what keeps me from paying for a test too. The one scenario that'd change my mind is switching sources or a vial that suddenly stops working like the others did.
One I'd add: a lab name that doesn't turn up in a quick search, or reports with no lot number matching what's on your vial. I got burned early on with paperwork that looked official but pointed to nothing. With almost a year on this stuff in Little Rock, I'd rather pay more and actually verify than roll the dice on mystery stock.
23 lbs in and my response has been predictable enough that I haven't felt the need either, but reply 3's point about unverifiable paperwork is what would push me to test. A report I can't cross-check against the lot on my vial is worse than no report. That's the one thing worth the money to me, not routine testing of stock that's been consistent.
20 lbs in here and my appetite response has been so consistent that I stopped agonizing over it. I'd only spend the lab fee if something shifted -- sudden tolerance or a new batch that felt off. Predictable results week to week are their own kind of answer.
11 lbs in myself and same boat, but the lot number thing is what seals it for me. If a report doesn't line up with what's printed on my vial, that tells me more than any test would. Otherwise I'm not shelling out lab fees while the response stays steady.
Down 21 lbs on Wegovy myself and my vials came with paperwork that didn't match the lot number, which is exactly why I paid for one test. Turned out fine, but now I know instead of guessing. If your response has been steady and the lot info checks out, I'd save the fee until something actually feels different.
It's okay to have a week that just feels stuck. You're allowed to be annoyed about this, it's a valid feeling.
This community exists for exactly this kind of week. Frustrating stretches like this happened to me more than once. Cheering you on.
I tested one vial around the 25 lb mark mostly because my appetite suppression suddenly got weaker and I couldn't tell if it was tolerance or the product. Results came back fine, so the weird week was just my body being weird, but that certainty was worth the fee to me. If nothing has felt off, I'd probably sit on it.
I'm only 13 lbs in so I'm in the same boat of not wanting to spend lab money yet, but like reply 3 said, the one time something felt off is when testing makes sense. If the suppression and side effects have been consistent for you, I'd save the cash for now.
