Injects are here!!

My Menopur and trigger were waiting on me when I got home today. So exciting! IF turns us all into masochists, doesn't it? I'll start the Menopur Saturday, then hopefully trigger on the 1st.

Question for anyone familiar with Menopur. Is it normal for it to clump together? I thought it was going to be powdery like the hCG, and it is white and powdery-looking, but it's all one big clump. I don't imagine it'll make much of a difference when I mix in the saline, but I was just curious if anyone else had the same issue.

    I'm doing my first inject cycle too, and it is with Menopur and Ganirelix.  I don't know anything yet :)  My meds have not arrived, and I'm not starting til next cycle.

     Can I ask does the Menopur come in single use vials?  My dose is 75 iu, so I wonder if each dose is it's own vial or does a vial have enough for more than one dose?

    I'm nervous because I've heard it burns :(

    Thanks, Bethany! I'm hoping your 2ww isn't being too hard on you!

    tap, the Menopur comes in 75iu vials so you would just mix one vial and inject it. Mine came in a box with a container holding 5 vials of the powder and 5 vials of saline. It also came with its own sharps mini disposal bin, which for whatever reason tickled me pink.

    I've heard it burns too, but how bad can it be? Hopefully, it'll only last a few seconds. I read letting it sit for a few minutes after it's mixed and injecting it slowly helps so I'll be trying that. GL to you!
