Pills, and needles, and syringes! Oh My!

I had been prepped by the nurses of what to expect with my new medications, had instructions on how to use them and was told I should do inventory right away to make sure I had everything. The medications were ordered through a specialty pharmacy and were delivered so I immediately opened up the box to make sure everything was in there. As I started laying it out on the counter, I realized I wasn't prepped for how much there would be!

Welcome to Barrett Pharmacy.

In five of those boxes were vials of medication and also vials of saline since I would now be mixing my own injections. Two other boxes had my progesterone supplements. There were three smaller boxes with pre-filled syringes of who knows what and an even smaller box of my "trigger" medication (to induce ovulation). The bag was filled with syringes and smaller needles, since the syringes came with needles much to scary to dare stick in my belly. And I now had my own hazardous waste receptacle! Oh and pills, lets not forget the five bottles of pills with labels I can't even pronounce.

Good news was all the medication was there and now I needed to find a place to store it all! And this is all for only Cycle One? Oy!
