Ok i'm freaking out that we've done something wrong with the Puregon ... I'm on 150IU and have a 900IU vile (thing whatever its called)... I'm on day 6 of injections so today my vile should have been empty but i still have ALOT (maybe one or 2 doses left) still in it
So now im crying and freaking out that i've been having the wrong dosage.... anyway know what i have to do??? Or have i just ruined this cycle
the vials have a lot more then 900IU in them - there is an amount at the bottom that doesn't get used. they only say 900IU so that you use that amount and no more! i'm sure it's fine hun
Yeah i read in the book that they have abit more in them then the 900... but mine kind of looks excessive .... i just checked and i have almost (probably not quiet) 1cm left in it..... surely thats not right
i used to have odd measurements so never a nice round number like 150 - and i'd have anywhere from a cm upwards left over when the vial was 'empty' - so yeah, it sounds perfectly normal for you to have that much left over. turf the vial that's "empty" and then start a new one for the next dosage!
Oh good i can start to breath now... thanks so much BG.. i guess i just expected it to be empty than to have so much left...
Another thing that concerns me is DP has been turning the end of the pen (hard to explain so im hoping someone has an idea of what im talking about... the bit you are meant to be pressing in he has just been turning it to inject me) instead of pressing it in when giving with the Puregon... could that not be giving me the right dosage???
I was so annoyed to find out he has been doing it that way rather then the way the nurse told us to do it
Okay hun, I am right there with you, I had exactly the same thing happen with my first count.. And yes I freaked out totally.
But I had almost 145 units where I thought I should only have about 25iu left.
So yeah, the difference can be heaps. Seriously don't panic hun. Its okay.
when you depress the end of the puregon pen (by pressing the blue bit on top) the yellow bit turns and clicks anyway - so what he's doing shouldn't make an impact on the dosage you're getting BUT it can make the pen wear out more quickly, so give him a quick clip under the ear and tell him to do it properly from now on!
