Help, please ...

I started day #1 (load) today - first time with the drops. How in the heck do each of you measure the drops?

I have no idea of just how many I was getting - I realized that at about #8 my dropper was empty

and needed to be refilled. Can I figure out approx. where on the dropper 12 drops is? Is this precise enough?

The need to not touch my mouth when administering the drops makes it not-so-easy to lean close to a mirror. And when I play with the dropper/bottle I can force out 2 drops with a large squeeze, and no drops if I don't squeeze hard enough ...

Maybe I'm just a klutz, but if anyone has any hints/suggestions, I'll sure appreciate it!

Try alternating the sides that you place each drop in...then you can feel them hit your skin (helps if the drops are cool). I can do it w/o a mirror now--you'll get used to it!

The other thing you can do is put the drops on a clean spoon, then tip them into your mouth. A little easier to count that way... Just make sure the spoon is clean.
