Gonal F Pen Injection Question

in Trouble TTC

Hi, I haven't posted in awhile, but I am finally moving forward with treatment. This is my first gonal f and ovidrel cycle with iui. DH is giving me the injections, as I am too scared to do it myself (big phobia of needles). Yes, I did freak out yesterday right before he did it (the first injection), but tonight I did much better lol. DH seemed a little concerned because after he pulls out the syringe he sees the liquid at the end of the needle. Is this normal? I believe I am getting the full dose, he holds it in me for about 10 seconds before pulling out. I was hoping some of you could share your wisdom ;) Thanks in advance.

    Yes its normal. Back in 2012, this happened to me and of course I freaked out and called my RE right away. He did say just leave it in a few extra seconds so you're doing everything right. 

    Good luck!

    Oh good. I will have him leave it in for 15 seconds tomorrow and see. I told him, he is now relieved. Thank you!

    It happens to me too. I leave the pen in for a while and there is always still a drop or two that comes out when I pull it out.
    Fucking bump!!!!
