Any IVFer's here? I need help re: stims

I'm supposed to start my stims tonight - Follistimm and Menopur and I don't think I have the follistim. ?I'm not sure what I was thinking, but I got a bunch of Gonal-F pens to administer the follistim with and the box needed to refrigerated and I assumed there were drugs in the box. ?Well, I don't see any. ?What do I do?

Re: Any IVFer's here? I need help re: stims

  • Sorry confused - Did you get Gonal F pens rather then follistm. Because they are the same thing, just made by a different company.

    I would call your Drs emergency number and see what he suggests, but if you have the gonal F available he will probably have you use that.

    Editted to add - The gonal F pens are pre loaded with drugs

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!

  • Call the emergency # ~ I've done that ~ and made an emergency run up to the pharmacy and they opened just for me on a Sat @9pm.

    Call them now.

    If they're reputable they will do it for you too.

    ADDED: Glad they were preloaded with the meds!  You lucked out!!

  • Krissy - does the pen have the med in it already? ?If so then it looks like I got Gonal F instead of Follistim and I'll call the emergency line. ?

  • thanks ladies - I'm online watching videos right now to remind myself how to do this. ?I feel like I forgot everything from that injectables class! ?I totally had it my head that the drug came separate from the pen, hopefully the doc is OK with the Gonal-F cause then I'm finally stimming! ?

  • Yeah, follistm you need to load into the dispencer, but Gonal comes pre loaded.

    I am sure he will be fine with it, my doctor had me choose which one I wanted! 

    I join you tomorrow in the stims! Good luck!

  • Now my confusion makes sense - we were using the follistim pen in class. ?GL to you to!

    ?

    I just got a call from the nurse confirming the Gonal-F is OK to use and she was obviously annoyed at the call. ?I hate that. ??
