Infertility

Medication Freak Out Need Help

Ok tonight is my first night starting stims and I dont know if I just did it incorrectly. First of,f I was mixing menpur, follitism and lupron. I didn't look at the Menpur vial before injecting the lupron and when I looked at it, it  either dissolved immediately or the vial was empty. Second I read the instructions after injecting myself and noticed if you are using the follistim pen you should inject that first into the vial, well I didn't and I injected the lupron first and I'm totally having an anxiety attack now. Did I just screw up? My husband is out of town for business and I'm all alone and feeling a bit stressed. Also the needle didn't go in as easy and felt like it was dulled after sticking it in the menpur.

Re: Medication Freak Out Need Help

  • I can't answer your questions, but I'm really sorry you are feeling so alone and scared right now.  Huge ((hugs)) and I'm sure that even if you did mess up, 1 day won't do too much damage and you can get it right tomorrow.  Hang in there - this sh!t is so stressful :-(

  • I'm not familiar with your meds exactly. Are you mixing your Lupron with the menopur? I take my Lupron in a separate shot, then mix my menopur with saline and inject that. So, I'm not sure of yours, but my menopur powder disappears instantly when the saline is added. And I really don't see why icing icing order would matter at all. either way, you got the meds in so I think you did great. try not to worry! You did it and it gets easier every night!

  • Thanks ladies for your support. My RE said I can mix all of mine and just do one injection instead of 3. But its good to know it disappears instantly.

  • First of all, as I recall, there is very little powder in the Menopur vial.  It does dissolve very quickly.  

    I doubt it matters if you injected the Lupron first, but I have never mixed w/ Lupron, only Menopur and Follistim.

    It probably did dull the needle a bit, since it is so tiny.  You should have extra needles.  You can always change to a fresh one before you inject.   

    Maybe call a nurse at your RE's office for help in the morning and next time will go more smoothly.  Good luck.

    *trying to keep hope*




  • You're fine, i'm sure. First, there were several times that I thought the same thing about the Menopur even though I know I had seen the powder when I first took the vial out of the box. Second, I really don't see how the mixing order could possibly affect anything. For peace of mind you can call your RE tomorrow but FWIW even if you do have to mix it a certain way, one night won't make a difference to your cycle in the long run. Hope that helps ease your mind. GL!

  • Sorry that you're feeling so stressed about the medication. I agree with the previous poster that day one can't mess things up too much. If you're still feeling worried tomorrow please call your doctors office so they can guide you and ease your stress.
