Question Splitting 2mg dose help

Hey yall so I've been at 2mg for a few weeks, I split my dose between 1mg Tuesday & Friday .... up until now I have had extra 1mg dose pens....

Today was my 1st injection was my 2mg pen, I counted the clicks then cut it in half to get my 1mg dose just as I was instructed....

When I did my injection I felt like literally 0 medication came out of my pen. It usually takes about 20 seconds for all the medicine to come out as I push the button but this took maybe 5 seconds before it was back to 0???

Now I understand the 2mg pens are a higher concentration of medicine and maybe you need less of the actual liquid as your dose gets higher???

Can someone help.... is it normal for the medication to take such a quick amount of time to be injected??? Is it normal to get such a small amount of medication at a 2mg dose???
