Follistim Question

I just did my first injection of Follistim a few minutes ago --  Not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be giving myself an injection (although it was the pen and not an actual hypodermic needle). 

Question about timing that I forgot to ask the nurse yesterday at the teaching session --  Do you have to take the Follistim at the same time every day or can it vary by a few hours?

    I always did mine at the same time.  My nurse told me that I needed to do it within an hour time frame every day.

    Ditto pp...they told me to do the same time, but that I had about an hour or so flexibility. But they strongly encouraged me to pick a time I could stick with.

    Congrats on your first shot! GL! :)

    My nurse said to do it within an hour of the same time every day. She said it wasn't like super strict but to do it as close to the same time as possible.

    same time each day. Our clinic has us take all meds between 7 and 9 pm unless otherwise advised (i.e. hCG shot)

    I did Gonal F, which is similar. And yes I was told around the same time. I did mine at 10pm
