Injections timing

[gobucksoh]

Question for you ladies on timing your daily injections.

I know you are supposed to take them about the same time every day, or as close as you can get. Our time has been 8:30pm. However, tonight we have plans with friends to go to dinner and a movie. We will be leaving the house at 5:30pm and won't return until around 11pm or so.

Is it that big of a deal if I just take all 3 injections before we leave the house or when we get home? (Gonal F, low dose hCG, and Lupron). Or is it really important to stick to the time and therefore we would need to take the injections with us and figure out a way to get er done while we are out and about? If it helps, today is day 7 of stims.

TIA!

So, IDK how critical it is, but when we were in similar situations we would sneak off to a bathroom to do my shots. We felt like drug addicts, but I felt better knowing I was staying consistent with my meds.

Our nurse told me that I needed to choose a time between 5pm-midnight, but then stay within a 2-hour window for the whole cycle. I've done shots in a coffee shop bathroom, the car, my grandma's house, my mom's house, and most recently in my classroom while chaperoning a dance. So I would suggest just taking them along to relieve any worry, or if it's stressful to deal with then call and ask the nurse?

I'd honestly just do them before you leave.

I think you are fine either way..... But if it were me again, I would choose to do them before I left that way I wouldn't feel rushed to get home within a certain window of time.

My clinic says to stay in a two hour window. That said, you're toward the end of your stimming, I'm guessing, so it's sort of up to you. I'd probably just take it with me and do it in a bathroom. I've injected myself in a bunch of random spots, no biggie. I wouldn't hold off until after you get back though -- I'd either do it before or during - not after you get back. If you do decide to do it while out, don't forget the alcohol wipes!
