iVF #2, and just had my first shot of Menopur this evening. My husband pushed the meds through the needle, and then blood began to fill the syringe.  Only a very small amount but that has never happend before.  Have you ever experienced this? I assume its OK?? Thank you!

    He likely hit a blood vessel.  It has only happened to me once (with Menopur coincidentally).  Everything should be ok though except you may have some bruising.  However, if it happens again I would speak to your RE.

    Make sure that after he inserts the needle, he pulls back a little on the plunger.  He should do this to be sure that he is not in a vein.  If no blood enters the syringe, they it is safe to inject the meds.  However, even if he is not in a vein, you can still nick a vein when the needle is going in or out.  I did that last cycle, and I still have a faint bruise over a month later.  Good luck!
