Infertility

How long between mixing and injecting Menopur?

Since DH is away dealing with his brother, I'm bringing my meds over to my friends house across the street so she can give me my shots.  I want to mix everything up and then just bring it over there and hang out a bit before she has to give me the shot at 10 p.m.  Is it bad to have it mixed up a half-hour to an hour ahead of time?  If so, I can just mix it there, but I'd rather mix it ahead of time if it's not going to hurt anything.  TIA!

Re: How long between mixing and injecting Menopur?

  • Not sure on the 30mins+ but I mixed mine and waited for 10 mins afterwards as I heard that it can sting less. Hopefully someone out there has the answers for you. GL!

    Multiple ectopics, 2 failed IVF's
    IVF #1: Did not get to ET, embies all failed PGD (major chromosomal defects)
    IVF #2: We have 2 chromosomally perfect embies as a result of PGD (Boy/Girl) 1 failed the thaw (Girl) Transferred 1, yet ended as a c/p
    Thought it was the end of our TTC Journey 6/20/2012
    SHOCK BFP 9/28/2012: IT'S A BOY! and everything is normal !!!!!!

  • I asked my RE about this and she said it would be fine for a couple hours even, as long as you're careful about keeping everything sterile. Half an hour should be fine!

    Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.

    IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.

    Lucky IVF #2: Transferred two beautiful day three embies on St. Patrick's Day. BFP on HPT 7dp3dt. Beta 1 (14dpER)=106; Beta 2 (16dpER)=140; Beta 3 (19dpER)=264! First u/s 4.17.

    This. I mix and inject myself immediately after mixing. My RE told me you don't wnat to do it ahead of time as it can lessen the strength of the med.

    Interesting how we all have different answers.

    Indeed!  I think I'll just wait to go over there to be on the safe side.  Thanks though, ladies!!
