Default Follistim: Don't I need more needles?

I just got the pen today and there are only 4 needles in the case! Are there more in the pack with the drug?

Tonight will be my first injection so I am nervous!

Thank you!

I guess that would depend on your dosage, but the pharmacy or your RE can get you more if you run out.

Good luck with that first shot--it can be tough to psych yourself up for, but it becomes a piece of cake (okay, maybe not that easy) after a while.

Yes, you get more needles with the cartridges for the injections. As far as side effects, I was on other meds at the same time so they are just the usual gamut - hot flashes, moodiness, etc.

Good luck!

Hi Baby G:


How was the first shot? Did you get any side effects?

How much did the shots cost you.

My RE says if I don't get pregnant by June, I will be moving to shots
