View Profile | E-Mail | Menopur burns « on: 03/13/08, 11:05 » | Reply with quote I'm really having a tough time with the menopur buring as I inject.  The belly is the least painful and the thigh is near-impossible.  The dose is strong - on diluent for two vials of menopur.  perhaps thats why?  Is this normal? Thanks! Report to moderator   Logged lyly14 Gold Member Offline Posts: 717 If at first you don't succeed try and try again!

Good luck.
