I go in today for cd3 ultrasound and bloodwork. I am supposed to start follistim injections tonight. I am really nervous about the injections and going to the new RE. I am sure they will make me feel welcome, it is just a change.
The serum
came in a styrofoam container with an ice pack in it. It says to refrigerate. When dh was reading instructions last night, he said it needs to be at room temperature
but you have to use it within 90 days. if you leave it in the refrigerator, it could last for 6 months. Mostly we will use it all so either refrigerator or room temperature
Is this your first time using it? I am very nervous about the pen and doing it correctly. The medicine costs so much darn money that I do not want to waste any!!! I brought the medicine with me to work in the styrofoam and ice so that I could take it to my appointment. I don't usually get all ancy about stuff like this. I am just nervous.
this is my second round of follistim. If you put in the refrigerator and take it out and put it back. i am not sure it's a good idea. You take it out of refrigerator 30 minutes before your shot. the best leave it on the refrigerator since this medicine cost alot. just for safe
