tampaLisa73 — that is really helpful context on Peptide reconstitution. Follow-up question: did you experience any side effects during this phase?
I am in a similar situation (about to start) and trying to set realistic expectations.
To answer kim_atl_prep's question specifically:
From a clinical standpoint, Peptide reconstitution guide is something I discuss with patients regularly.
The short answer: discuss this specific situation with your prescribing provider.
The longer answer involves weighing the risk-benefit ratio for your individual situation, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.

Slightly tangential to Peptide reconstitution but mike_mealprep reminded me — has the insurance landscape changed recently?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
