IVF Day 13: update to mixing drugs

My concoction of a shot wasn't too far off.  Though from now on, I don't have to use all the water with the centrotide, she said use half the water into the centrotide powder and then put the follistim/menopur mix into it and draw it all out and inject!  Also, it doesn't really matter which needle you use, but it is kinda gross to think about the 3 drugs all together and you can see its not just water its oily looking.

If you are mixing follistim, menopur and centrotide here is the fast easy version:

  1. Inject follistim amount into menopur powder (if less than 225 of follistim you will have to add some other liquid to the mix as instructed in the video posted here)
  2. Put half of the centrotide water into the centrotide powder
  3. Use q-cap to withdraw the follistim/menopur mixture and insert into the liquid centrotide 
  4. withdraw and inject using the SMALL needle not the 2" crazy scary needle!
Tip: use an ice pack to numb and cool the red itchy skin!
