Menopur/ Injectables Questions

in Trouble TTC
Hi gals!

I finally got the official go ahead for IUI and started my first round of Menopur yesterday. It is my first injectable medicine I have ever taken. So, yesterday and tonight I took my shot and thought I had used the entire syringe of medicine. Well, there was a little liquid, maybe .2 IU left in the syringe once I removed the needle after my shot. My questions are, 1. Is it normal to have a little left over? And 2. If it is not, what suggestions do you have for me?

Thank all of you ladies in advance and sorry if this is a silly newbie question.

    My last iui was an Menopur injectable cycle and yes @lemonliz you are correct there is more medicine in the menopur vial so it is okay to have a little still left in the vial...I called my RE and he calmed me down. I was totally freaking out the first time this happened...so I feel you.

    I did two rounds of iuis with menopur and this happened to me a few times too. I responded well both times though so I don't think it really mattered. I was worried too at first though. Good luck with the rest of your cycle!

    I used follistim but my vials had overfill and my RE's office will take all the overfill and put it into a separate vial and it collects about one dosage.
