Hi Dr. Q and Ladies!!
I will be doing IVF and received all my meds. I have a few questions. I was out of town and my meds were all sent in a cooler to a family member's house. They placed everything in the fridge for me. I just took everything home and I am looking over everything. I know two meds: follistim and Lupron must be kept in the fridge but I also have progesterone oil and the novarel powder to mix with the solution. Since everything has been in the fridge should I keep it there or should I leave the progesterone oil and the novarel out of the fridge until it is mixed?
Need your opinion on this too please ....after meeting with the IVF nurse and given two choices of how to now use follistim for this new cycle, I decided that I would continue using the follistim pen as I did with my IUIs and NOT have the follistim in vials and mix with the menopur. Thought it would be easier than mixing and the follistim pen is so easy to use. When I received my meds I have a ton of small 75IU vials of follistim instead of the cartridge for the pen as we discussed. I will be taking 150IU of follistim and 150 menopur each night. Should I just deal with it and try to change it out?
Sorry for so much, THANKS!!!
