Gonal F 900 IU pens - do they have more than 900 in them?

Hi All,

This is my first cycle using Gonal F 900 pens and have used 3 of them so far. I have read instructions several times and triple checking the dosage before injecting but after each pen is completed there is more left than it should, around 80-90 IU more for each. I am really confused if there is something I am doing wrong or if there is always more in each pen? Any feedback will be appreciated xx

In my experience with Ovaleap, there was more than I expected in the vial. I’ve sent you a message. ☺️

I found this with gonal f and checked with my clinic who said it is normal. I was worried as I thought I had given myself too low a dose but all was fine 😊

Don’t worry, there is extra in the pens. Xx

You can use the "overfill" too. I used to set the pen to like 200 and press, that way you can see how much you inject (subtract the number remaining when pen empties completely from 200).

It’s normal for the pens to have a little extra in, in my experience 👍
