Silly ? (I think) IVF related
Do you reuse your sub-q needles? For example, I'm taking 2 different meds at night, but I've been using new needles for each injection. The reason I'm asking is becasue I can't figure out for the life of me why they would have only prescribed me 13 sub-q needles. I have a refill for 13 more, but that means Kraupners has to come to my house just for needles???

Re: Silly ? (I think) IVF related
To my knowledge you do not want to re-use needles, it would dull the point on the needle ...Sounds like perhaps you were shorted some needles

Re: Silly ? (I think) IVF related
I have to agree with PPs. Needles should only be used once. Once it touches anything it is no longer sterile.

Re: Silly ? (I think) IVF related
Maybe check your calendar and script. Maybe you stop something while you still take another. If you need more just ask your RE. If not, FM me. I have a ton of needles, it's almost ridiculous!!

do not reuse the needles, just order more or get some from your doc.

Re: Silly ? (I think) IVF related
Thanks everyone! Turns out I guess I made a "rookie"(?) mistake. When I was given my intructions for my meds I wasn't told that I could mix one med with the other and only have to do 1 shot. I got some more needles from the RE.
