So, let's see... I am a 23yr old male, skin type II with brown hair, blue eyes, and a red beard. I started melanotan II yesterday. I reconstituted with 2ml if bac water, and took my first injection of 6 iu (~275 mcg). I noticed very slight nausea, and a little more apparent flushing. This morning I took my second dose - 10iu or 500mcg. Sides were negligible, so tomorrow I plan on 15iu.
I have heard many mixed reports on getting sun during the loading phase and am not quite sure which to pursue.. I have some freckles on my shoulders , and a little on my upper arm, so I would like to get color as soon as possible to shorten the awkward dark freckles/light skin phase. I plan on at least being out side for a little while today - a little sunshine never hurt!
I know these certainly not the best photos to show color, but its the best I have at the moment lol, I will update periodically with progress/better pics.
* * Started with the .5mg this morning, and had hardly any sides. Went and worked out, and decided to lay out in the sun for about 15-20 mins afterwards. Took another .5mg after the sunning, very mild nausea and flashing but nothing extreme. Felt more like hunger pang than anything. My freckles seem a little darker after three pins and ~30 min of total sun, but that is probably all in my head lol. I would like to continue .5gm am + .5mg pm, while I build my base. I only ordered 10mg though, so I will be ordering probably 30mg more on Monday. I used GM2, and the 10mg was $45, is that a good price? Are they a reliable source?
Welcome Bamba, helpful log so far - best of luck!* GM2 does deliver value, reputable products & service*
I like the dosing strategy overall - certainly seem aligned w/ goals
Best advice would be to lower the dose by 30-50% - have patience, results can set in quick!

Awesome, glad to hear I picked a good supplier for my research.
Day three].5mg does in the am - no sides what so ever. Spent approximately 30 minutes outside in the sun today, playing with my niece.
The sunburn from yesterday had completely disappeared by noon today, I was pretty impressed. Usually I will be red for at least 3 days.
Thanks for the advice, Chris, I will continue with just the one .5mg in the morning from here on out until I obtain my desired color.
As an aside... I am also researching the effects melanotan II has on fat loss, so I will occasionally post about that. As for now, nothing to report, except that I need to smoke medical marijuana to eat lol,
the appetite suppressant is rather strong.

Even better, 250mcg injects (twice daily if frisky) can stretch results - sometimes it does require loading the product & allowing the body to produce melanin - also reducing the dose can help w/ the altered appetite (sorry for being such a low-dose advocate! of course dosing high & burning herb is wonderful, lol)

I think I will move to twice a day at 250mcg, just for fun ]
Day four]
Pinned 500mcg am. I messed up filling from the vial, which meant I had to go in twice - made for a bit of a painful injection, lesson learned. I noticed my fore head getting a little darker, so I am going to use some spf. I have a shaved head and am out side a good bit of the day, but with a shirt on. I want to try and have the tan come in as even as I can get.* I was going to lay out in the sun for a little while today, but a storm rolled in before I was done at the gym so hopefully tomorrow. Felt a good bit of nausea intermittently throughout the day, not certain I can attribute that to MTII because I didn't eat till ~530pm. Still no libido/erections increase to speak of.
