The official rule is simple: if it's been 5 days or less, take it now and keep your regular day. More than 5 days — skip it and resume on schedule. Never double up.
Within 5 days of the miss: inject as soon as you remember, then continue on your usual day. Past 5 days: skip the missed dose entirely.

Most missed doses inside the 5-day window pass without any noticeable effect at all — you take the catch-up shot, resume your normal day, and that's the end of it. This section is for the less common case where more time has passed.
Nausea or stomach upset after a delayed shot is the most common thing people notice. It happens because a longer gap lets levels drop further than usual, so the next dose can feel more like a fresh start than a routine top-up. This usually settles within a day or two, the same way it did when you first started.
If it's been closer to two or three weeks rather than a few days, some prescribers restart at a lower dose instead of resuming where you left off, since the tolerance you'd built up can fade over a longer gap. That's a decision for your prescriber, not something to figure out on your own.
Severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of dehydration after resuming aren't typical of a routine catch-up dose. Those are worth a call to your prescriber rather than pushing through.
Morning-of, hour-before, and a follow-up if you forget. Weekly doses stop slipping through.
