Follistim cartridges
I have 300 iu Follistim cartridges. I used two 150 iu doses and it looks like there is still medicine in the cartridge. I know it says that they are over so that you can check flow, but is there enough in there to start tonight's injection with? If there's 25 iu or something in there I don't want to waste it.

You can certainly use whatever's left but you will have to stick yourself twice. When you go to use it tonight, however much you can get out of it, just subtract it from the next cartridge... but just know that it will throw that amount out of whack with the next cartridge.
Hey, those drugs are expensive... liquid gold... don't waste anything you don't have to!

I'm glad I used the left overs! There was 125 iu left! I did have to stick myself twice so I could get to 150, but no big. I can't believe that there was so much left in there. I knew that they overfilled a bit so that you can check flow, but that seemed like a lot to me.
