No Mixing Needles for Menopur

[sundaybrunch]

So I'm getting everything prepped for starting stims tomorrow and realized I don't have any mixing needles for Menopur.  All I have is the 27G 1/2 inch needles.  I'm trying hard not to get mad at myself for not realizing this sooner and am trying to figure out if there is a way to work with what I have.  Dr. Google isn't helping at all!  Is there a work around here or am I screwed?  

ETA: I do have three 3ML 1.5 inch syringes I'm supposed to use with HCG.  IS there a way to use those at all?

They didn't give you Q Caps either separately or in your Menopur boxes?

Go to your local pharmacy and ask to purchase BD 3mL syringes with 22g x 1 1/2 inch needles. Most states do not require a prescription to buy sharps, and if they do you your RE can call them in.

Ditto on the Q-caps. They came with it. That's what I used to mix. Call the pharmacy back and have them send you something. You should she gotten either Q-caps or mixing needles with the med shipment.

Nope, no Q caps. I just sacrificed one of my 3ml syringes for HCG and the injection needle for Menopur does fit on it. Totally didn't look like it would work by eyeballing it.  I have enough to work with tomorrow. Holy shit I was freaking out! Alexander Twin WILL be overnighting what they forgot tomorrow

Yep, you should have Q caps.

Interesting that the Qcaps didn't come in the box, which should have had that temper-proof box strip (you all know what I'm talking about?) This is true for both Menopur and Bravelle.

But if you need the needles in a pinch, def give your RE a call and head to your local pharmacy. They shouldn't give you any trouble.
