Follistim Pen ?

I have a pen from last cycle and the lady at Schrafts asked me if I needed another, but I told her I still had one. Well i just opened the box and there is a new pen in there. Do I need to use the new one, or can I still use the old one? Or does it even matter?

    I thought you could use the same pen since you put a new needle on it every day.  I'm curious to see what others say!

    I don't think it matters...I have like 5 of those dang pens because they keep sending them to me, but I've only ever used the original one.  Like pp said, you change out the needle each time, so the plastic pen part is good forever.

    Yeah, you only  need one.  They just waste them by sending new ones.

    Yep you can use the old one.  What's important is that your changing the needle everytime and that the medication cartridge is either new or if opened, less than 30 days old.  Good luck!
