So when you're done mixing, it IS a bit less than 1 cc. ALSO, the nurse said that UP TO 6 VIALS OF MEDS can be mixed in 1cc of water. you may want to ask the nurse about that.

Some of my water would evaporate too when I mixed my menopur powder with the saline to dilute and I only had to do one vial. I would definately throw in a little extra dilutant..but if you have questions and are able to stop by the RE's do so. But as shitty as it sounds, another option is to divide your dose into a few syringes, dilute a few vials with the dilutant instead of as many as you are doing and that may help. I know it's more syringes and more needles and shots but maybe it will help your peace of mind. Don't worry, whether your cycle works or not will not depend on a lost tenth of a cc (ml) of drugs in a shot. But it is easy to beat yourself up over it..but try hard not to. You're doing everything right...if in doubt put those nurses at your office to work! Good luck girl..hang in there...I'm thinking of you :-)<BR/><BR/>hugssarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816972200056579468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042835492478818568.post-83888751252126083342008-03-18T10:43:00.000-04:002008-03-18T10:43:00.000-04:00Im trying to think back--b/c I know that I had iss...Im trying to think back--b/c I know that I had issues with making sure I could get all the liquid out--but I think some of the water evaporated too. Hmmm, Im just spinning wheels here, and not helping much--is there a way you can go into the RE's office to show them? Not sure how much of a pain that would be for you. But just some assvice-make sure you get the answers you want/need from your RE's office--you deserve to have all the attention you need during this time!JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027548058304720360noreply@blogger.com
