I am no stranger to Menopur and its ways.
Back when we did IUIs #4, 5 & 6 Menopur was one of the medications I was on.
Menopur contains follicle stimulating hormones and luteinizing hormones. These hormones stimulate healthy ovaries to make eggs. Like all drugs there can be side effects such as: OHSS, headache, stomach pain, hot flashes, bruising or redness at the injection site, it may cause you to become pregnant with 2 or more babies at the same time and other serious health problems which are rare.
All injections must happen at the same time each day so I had to pick a time that I could be extremely consistent with before beginning any injections.
Menopur Day 1: take out sterile needle and draw 1 ml of saline solution into the syringe then inject the saline into 1 vial of Menopur powder, once mixed draw up the mixture into the syringe making sure to tap all air to the top. Change the needle to a 27 gauge and push the air out of the syringe. Prepare the injection site with alcohol wipe then inject the mixture into your upper thigh or abdomen. Cap the needle and dispose of it in a sharps container.
Follistim Day 1: 225 iu injection (I will intro that drug tomorrow)
