Re: menopur??

  • My only advice is that when you actually inject the meds, go SLOW! It can tend to sting or burn on the way in, but a slow injection will help with that.

  • i used it in conjunction with bravelle and did experience hot flashes but i cant say which medication caused it. BTW, the manufacturer of menopur had a great video on their website if you need a reminder for your injection procedure.
