Well ... maybe if they don't use recipes at all. I maintain that a level tablespoon = 15ml is the only reason to mention tablespoons at all. A "heaped" one is completely subjective.
But let's not highjack @phezel's thread.
Not really highjacking since the OP raised the question.
Just for the record (since others may read this), SN is about 2g per ml.
So a rounded (not "levelled off") tablespoon, of around 15ml, will be about 30g of SN.
EDIT : The heaped / levelled distinction is slightly confusing. Going to recheck some facts on that aspect of things; 17-18 g is also in a tablespoon, as stated by others.
But in general, a tablespoon is considered to be around 15ml, which will be about 30g of SN.

There really is no rush. If you'd rather wait and get scales to measure it's up to you. This is your life and only you decide when. We're all here for you.
If you decide to go ahead, then safe journey on to somewhere new and better.....

And a level tablespoon (ie, a 15ml kitchen measuring spoon), which is what people on my planet mean by "tablespoon", is how much SN in your planet's system, @jgm63 honey?
@phezel, again: please be careful. Take your time. There's no rush. x

I think I'm going to try again tomorrow night; I'm nervous about missing the window (45 minutes late now), and someone I thought I could trust has done something to make my anxiety spike.

Thank you. I need that support right now. The pack of SN I opened - will it be okay to use tomorrow?No rush....
Whatever you wish to do, we will support you......
Yes, it'll be fine. Just reseal it as best you can. I think the main thing with SN storage is not to get moisture on it....

I'll put pennies on your eyes and it will go away.

I really hate to bring my rantings into play but... If the world ends tomorrow (BOOM) i'm really not to sure about the safety of your SN.

I'm sorry that someone let you down and put you in a bad spot. However I commend you for being careful and rescheduling. Hope you're having a good night (or whatever time it is where you're at).

Hi, I just wanted to post an update and ask two more questions. Thank you everyone for your wishes and for your support so far.
Last night, the friend who'd agreed to post here on my behalf panicked around the time I was supposed to take the SN, and she messaged someone. That person (who I don't know) started messaging me asking me if they could help and my anxiety went through the roof, and I decided not to go through with it in that state of mind (and I was also 45 minutes late for the SN at that point). I'm not sure I can trust her not to panic again, so what would be the best way to give my feedback about my experience? Should I just post on this thread?
Second question is about the Buccastem M. Those things take ages to dissolve in the mouth. I took them at 11.15pm and by 12.30am they were still dissolving. Does this alter the time I should take them, or should it still be 45 minutes before SN?
Thank you, again.

Your decision to provide feedback about your experience appears to be a personal choice. As such, the medium you choose to provide such feedback is also your choice.
Nothing is required of you here on this website.

Yes, it's a personal choice. This website has helped me profusely, and I'd like to give something back, even if that's just a bit of qualitative data. I know nothing is required. :)

Yeah. I'm not sure how my brain got that confused last night. I've read the guide and the successes / failures spreadsheet enough times.

Just asking one more time, in case someone online now knows - since I'm using Buccastem M instead of meto, should I take it earlier than 45 minutes before SN, since it takes an hour+ to fully dissolve?
Sorry I dont know...
These are the search results I got on Buccastem M. Everyone's regimen is so detailed and specific you may not get a direct answer to your question.

Updated regime (only slight modifications)
Stat Dose
3pm: started fast
10pm: stopped drinking
11pm: 1000mg paracetamol
11.15pm: 9mg Buccastem M (3 x 3mg)
11.30pm: 20ml Milk of Magnesia
12am: 20g SN in 50ml water
Additional notes: Not on any other medication. Around 50kg in weight. I have low blood pressure so hopefully that'll be on my side tonight and I'll pass out quickly. Just had the Milk of Magnesia and about to prepare the SN. Feel calm at the moment.

What's the milk of magnesia for? I've not heard of it.
Does the waiting feel tough?
No obligation to answer as I know you're close now + you're not obliged anyway. I wish you all the best with your decision
