Now I don't mind taking the shots in public as I did it a few times last time, however, the last (only) two times I've done it - something has gone wrong.
The first day I had a little left in my first Gonal F pen so I needed to bring another one with me. Unfortunately, I accidentally took the wrong Gonal F pen out of the fridge.
Instead of one of the 900 IU pens, I grabbed the 300 IU pen. This was an issue because I needed to take 450 IUs.
I ended up not getting 12.5 IUs. Because I was at work and couldn't just grab another pen I was feeling panicked. I called the Pharmacy right away, but of course it went straight to their recording.
I didn't hear back from them so I rushed home right after work, took another pen out of the fridge and cranked it to 12.5.
Guess what?
It turns out 12.5 IUs is a minuscule amount... But I still took it just in case (even though it was four hours after when I was supposed to take it).
After that I immediately got out a new pen, double checked it, and got everything else ready for the next day. I put everything into one of our reusable shopping bags so it would be ready to go the next day.
Fast forward to 12:50 the next day- I go to grab my meds out of my bag and realize I grabbed the wrong bag!!!! In a panic I jumped in my car and drove as fast as I could to get home.
Murphy's Law I ended up behind 4 dump trucks... Not kidding! Not just one, but four!
Needless to say it was the quickest I've ever taken my shots!
Thankfully both times everything turned out ok.
p.s. I now have a bright yellow bag that I am planning to put my meds in so that I don't accidentally take the wrong bag again!
