Medication Frustration!!! (vent)

in Trouble TTC
So it seems as though absolutely nothing can go right with my meds this cycle. First we had the pharmacy send me the incorrect amount of femara, so I had to make them do a count since they insisted they mailed me the correct amount. Then, my RE didn't order a drop extra of the gonal-f and forgot to prescribe the needles since he wanted me to do the shots IM. Well, to top it off the pharmacist told me the incorrect amount to take each day, so I injected too much the first 2 days. The nurse just told me to stretch the meds out over tonight and tomorrow which I am trying to do, but as I was taking the needle out of the vial tonight, a few drops squirted out. I am working with a mL total of meds over 4 days, so a few drops is a lot. Plus, since I am doing it IM, the needles I was given are 3mL, making it hard to see if I'm getting the right amount since I'm having to measure between lines. Well, there isn't anything I can do about it now...thanks for letting me vent!

Re: Medication Frustration!!! (vent)
I don't have any words of wisdom, but I feel bad for all you've been through! Although it sounds like you're making the best of it either way! I have my mock embryo transfer and injection class on July 10th, so I am going to ask them to be very concise and make sure I have it all straight. Good luck!

So sorry you are having such a rough time! I can not even imagine how frustraing that must have been!
