Cetrotide injections - tips needed for drawing up the solution!

[Minniemouse88]

Hi all,

I've had a bit of a wobble today (more like full on meltdown if I am being completely honest).

It's my second day taking cetrotide and I am really struggling with drawing the meds up into the syringe after mixing. I've tried it so many different ways... slowly pushing out the air bubbles, holding the vial on an angle, drawing the needle in and out. Ended up having to throw a dose away this morning because it was just taking too long.

Am I missing a trick? Really want to get this right!

Thank you

hey, I found this drug the hardest of all to draw up and I also ended up throwing one away - I think it was slightly better if I let it reach room temp before I mixed. I understand you’re stressing though! it’s such a fiddly drug!!!

Thank you! I finally cracked it and managed the gonasi trigger injection yesterday so ready for Egg collection tomorrow xx

good luck! Hope it goes well - the sedation is honestly the best sleep ever (i found) so i always weirdly looked forward to it 😆

Great, thank you for the assurance - I could do with some good sleep 😊
