Follistim timing ?

in Trouble TTC
I'm doing Follistim Saturday and Sunday. Do you usually do the injection in the evening? I take Clomid and my last Metformin at night, but that's just because I'm trying to ease the s/e a little bit. Another semi-related question, is it ok to drink after doing Follistim? I'm going out Sunday and I don't want to mess with the tx, even if it means no passion fruit martinis. ;-0)

TIA!

    When I did injectables I had to take my Femara in the evening and do my shots in the morning...not sure if that helps, since my pill isn't clomid. 

    Also, my Dr didn't mention anything about not drinking while taking the injects so I am curious what others have been told about drinking.

    I take my Metformin at Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner and I do my Follistim inject between 4 and 8 pm (usually between 5 and6)  I took my Femara in the am.  No one ever said anything about drinking to me, but I don't drink so I didn't ask :)

    I just went through all of my instructions, and it says to inject in the evening.  It says nothing about having drinks, so I'll probably just have one or skip it all together.  It's really not work messing anything up over one drink!

    Also I specifically asked if I could have a few drinks while on the stims and my RE said not a problem. ENJOY!
