Bemfola Injection gone wrong

14 Replies

Hello,

Currently on day 3 of Bemfola and Menopur, injected at 8pm but when injected Bemfola don't think any of the liquid went into me as a lot of liquid went over my stomach, will it effect treatment?

Also my period finished Wednesday but bled a little bit today and yesterday,is that normal?

Try not to panic about the injection, hopefully you will have had enough but I would suggest contacting your clinic for advice to be on the safe side. Ive had a bit of a mare with my menopur tonight so will be on the phone to them when they open in the morning! This process is stressful enough without extra problems!! Good luck with the rest of the injections xx

Thankyou for responding,theres just so much to take in isn't there, completely forgotten what the nurse showed me and it was only Thursday!!

What happened with your Menopur? Think I had too much air in mine!

Good luck with yours too,how many days in are you? Xx

Im on day four so just one day ahead of you. This is my third cycle so I should know what im doing but every time the injections are slightly different! Is this your first cycle?

I was sure id measured the menopur correctly the last 3 days but found more than should be left in the vial tonight so started panicking that ive obviously not given enough at some point. I then went to make my next vial up and injected the solution into the old vial with the extra in and not the one with the powder in! Im hoping I can just transfer it across but want to check first. Even more stressful when I know how much we spent on the vial!

Hopefully our clinics will give us both some reassurance! Xx

Its my first cycle so just getting to grips with all of the terminologies and stages!

I know what you mean about the Menopur being confusing!

When are you going in for your scan? I'm booked in for Wednesday and Friday xx

Im booked in for wednesday aswell. Hopefully we will both have lots of follicles growing!

I know what you mean about the terminology and stages, before doing ivf I had no idea what was involved, its been a steep learning curve!

Let me know how it goes weds xx

Hey :) oh i feel ur pain, this happened me, also on day 3, if u see my previous post from a few days ago & lovely advice from ladies on here. I would ring your clinic when you can to inform them and seek their advice but my consultant told me not to worry and continue as normal with a new injection the following evening. He said he would check me and see what was going on at my scan on day 8. We got about 3/4 of liquid injected. Some of the ladies had suggested the only thing that might happen is potentially being on meds for slightly longer. I had my scan on day 8 and i was told things were looking good so try not to worry. I went into complete panic unnecessarily xx

Its just an awful feeling i totally empathise! Im sure we arent the first and certainly wont be the last. We have tried since the mistake to have the injection facing so that we can see the nozzle going down so we know when its properly finished, seems to be working 🙈

Im getting on ok thank u, anofher scan tomorrow & all being well egg collection on tuesday! How r u feeling on the meds? Xx

in reply toTTCs

Hope all goes well with your scan tomorrow and fingers crossed you will be all good for your egg collection :-)

I'm not doing too badly,feeling tired and was having hot flushes/sweats but nurse said means its working and should disappear once Menopur kicks in.

Keep me posted on how you get on xx

Thank you!

Yes i had the hot flushes, muscle pain, headaches etc. Alot of it has now subsided though im still exhausted and have a sore head. But like i keep telling hubby i refuse to complain about these symptoms, they will hopefully all be worth it for both of us 😘 i look forward to hearing more of ur updates xx

Don’t panic, I’m sure this won’t have a detrimental impact. Ring your clinic in the morning and discuss this with the nurses. They will have a sensible solution for you, I’m sure of it xx
