Help! Follistim question

in Infertility
I used Gonal-F for my first IVF so I'm new to Follistim.  Tonight my dose was 175 and I knew I had at least 100 IU's left in the cartridge, plus some overfill so I set the dose to 175.  When I did the injection, it stopped clicking at the mark just under 25.  So, that would mean I new to refill a new cartridge and set it to the mark just under 25 and inject that amount?

Thanks!

    Yes.  The dial stopped because you ran out of meds.  The amount left on the dial is how much you have left in your dose.

    Thanks!  I wasn't sure if it was the other way around and I had to do a second injection of 150, instead of 25.

    The dial counts down from your dialed dose, so whatever it shows is how much you have left to get to a full dose.  GL.
