Trouble TTC

I'm such an idiot!! Venting!!

I'm sure it's the meds but I've lost my mind.

Warning language! This isn't rated G.

I'm getting my meds together tonight for my injections. I'm taking 3 vials of Menopur and 250iu of Gonal. Getting everything together takes a while, I lay everything out and have an order I go in to get it all together. Well the whole time my husband is talking to me asking me when ER is going to be (like I fucking know) because he's gotta let them know at work and he's getting on my nerves. I've explain the process to him numerous times I'm tired of explaining. I'm trying to concentrate but he won't shut up. So something screws up on the syringe of Menopur there is a huge bubble in the syringe and when I try to get it out the med squirts out. I thumped the syringe and still med shoots out. WTF? My husband tries no luck we squirt it back in a bottle and try to reput it in the syringe. By this time half the meds
gone. So I give up! I'm just going to start over after I sit in the bathroom and cry it out for a few min because you know each vial cost about $80 so that's $240 wasted.

I started over got all the Menopur in my syringe and drew up the overfill of Gonal in another syringe. By this time my husbands pouting because I raised my voice at him because he wouldn't be quiet asking me questions. Seriously??? I told him I was kinda busy. I gave myself the shots and cleaned up the counter. HOLY FUCK!!!! I gave myself the 2 menopur's and no Gonal.

By this time I'm ready to say fuck it all. Of course my husband has now turned on the Dr and is no longer talking to me as my husband I'm now his patient which just pisses me off more. Then again at this point I think his existence is pissing me off. So I walked outside and called my RE and he talked me off the ledge and told me just to take less Gonal that it will be fine especially since I'm so early in this process.


Please tell me I'm not the only one that has screwed up meds? I need stories to make me not feel like a total idiot.
Fucking bump!!!!

Re: I'm such an idiot!! Venting!!

  • You are not at all the only one. I was a huge idiot and didn't check my order when it got delivered and there was no Menopur in the box. Of course on night 1 of stims I freak the fuck out that I've ruined the whole cycle before it even started. Luckily the nurse on call said it was fine. I just took the Follistim that night and started the Menopur the next night once I purchased some at a local pharmacy. I totally know how you feel but it will be fine!

  • I haven't screwed up giving myself meds, BUT I did leave 150 iu of Gonal-F in the car to the point where it wasn't probably usable anymore. C wasn't so happy. It was during a camping weekend and I forgot about it until it was too late. She still brings it up and it happened a month ago.

    I'm sorry you're having a rough go of it.

    Yes I have the q cap and I got it all out with the q cap but it screwed up somewhere when I put the needle on. Even my husband couldn't figure out why the bubble wouldn't go to the top. When we inserted it all back in the bottle more shot out of the bottle and when we drew it back up only 1/2cc was there. The rest was scattered on my counter.


    Fucking bump!!!!
  • @BeckyP005‌ waves hello. Good luck Wednesday on the transfer. I'll keep my FX for you.
    Fucking bump!!!!

    @Pintobean39‌ - I'm so sorry to hear about your stressful night. Reading your post I felt like I was there with you. I can totally see that entire scenario playing out with my DH and me (hopefully it doesn't). You should be a writer! My only story is almost starting my Lupron a day late because I thought May 29th was the 28th. I looked at my phone at 6 pm and was like oh shit, I was supposed to inject this morning!

    My friends always say I should write a book about my life because so many things have happened to me. May have not been funny but we laugh about some of it now. I even dated a guy once that swore I had to make half of it up, oh the look on his face was priceless when he realized I was telling the truth. One problem about writing a book. I'm horrible with writing correct English, there would have to be lots of corrections.
    Fucking bump!!!!

    I have yet to mess up my meds, but then I time my meds for when I am in the bathroom alone after my evening workout shower. In regards to the squirting, it sounds like there may have been a vacuum created by not enough backfill of air being put into the vial. Most lyophilized powders are sealed under vacuum, so when withdrawing the syringe it will try to draw back what you have removed. Overall, it's good that it was early enough and should not effect your cycle. Try not to worry too much about it, or beat yourself up. But maybe mix your meds when DH isn't around.
  • Hugs. I'm dealing with 8 vials per night now and it's a matter of time before I screw up.
    Ready to take the road less traveled. 
  • Oh, man. I'm sorry. I don't blame you at all for being upset.

    And I have to admit to getting a chuckle out of @gsancho‌ 's story. Hahaha.
