no I am only getting one shot out of it... which sucks... the chemist, my ob and GP told me they can't store it once open and they need to throw the rest away??? how did you get two shots out of it??
I was having shots I think every third day, so I would draw out two doses in a separate syringe each from the new ampule. One was used immediately and the other was kept in the fridge with the needle cover on to keep it sterile. It was the clinic that told me to do this so I'd be surprised if its not the right thing to do. Maybe they're thinking you can't just store it in the open ampule, which is obviously exposed to air etc once you've broken the top off? Might be worth asking again if you can do the above. I guess they could say not to do it as a "cover their butts" exercise - just in case someone doesn't keep it sterile or something?
Like you said though, its a pretty small price to pay for a sticky bub
So Im guessing you guys are getting several shots to make the bub sticky....
Im wondering how come my DR did not recommend me those but only gave me 1 5000 pregnyl shot at CD15 to make me ovulate and ask me to BD that night and the previous 2 night and thats about it. He did not say anything else and he sound confident
Nothing much going on today at 6DPO but bbs starting to sore but thats normal before AF comes. Its abit sore on nipples which is abit different. Thats about it.
I had the 5000iu trigger for ovulation, then 1500iu shots every I think 3 days during the tww, and then once I got my BFP I had a 5000iu shot every Tuesday and Friday until 12 weeks. Also was taking progesterone tablets and asprin too so I got the whole package! I have a pretty bad history of unsticky bubs though - this is pg #10 for me - so that's why I got the lot. I'm also 41 and had decided that given my age and the 4 mcs I'd already had this year that I was only going to try 3 cycles before giving it away, so I think my FS (who is also my OB) was keen to maybe go a little more overboard than may have been required to help things along.
I guess it all depends on why you had the trigger shot in the first place as to what follow up meds you might need
wow well that would be a hell of a lot easier having the 5000iu twice a week for me instead of 1500iu 3 times a week... considering they are the ones that were sold to me... not only is it a waste but I wonder why I just can't have the whole 5000iu just less of them?
Yeah. Losing one injection a week woud be great (from a purely stabbing point of view!), but you're still having a heap less pregnyl at only 4500iu per week as opposed to my 10,000. Maybe because you're on a much lower dose they're spreading them out a bit more so you stay "topped up" IYKWIM.
yeah and I hate the fact of throwing the rest away.... but yeah your probably right.... just giving me 'enough'... but you would think the more the better??
