My vendor has COAs for every mg of reta except R5.. do I go ahead and buy the r5 anyway if the rest of it is verified

Hi guys, I was looking at starting reta and was wondering what the shelf life is like for reconstituted vials? My vendor has said its around a month when refrigerated, but I was planning on starting at 0.5mg/week. I’m 68kg at 5’4 and I’m aiming for 55kg. By that logic though, would the vial go bad before I’ve even made a dent in it? I was planning on getting 10 vials of 10mg, so not sure if I even need that much unless I use it long term at lower doses.
I’ve also seen a lot of people say that if you stop taking reta it’s likely you’ll gain the weight back, so what would you recommend dosing once you’ve reached your target weight?
The last question I had was about the amount of bac water you use. I’ve seen that some people use 1ml, 2ml etc but is there actually any difference other than how many units you’d be drawing? Or is the amount of bac literally just preference based?
