Injection Pen - Not For Me

This cycle I'm doing a couple of booster shots of gonal f. The prescription that came from the pharmacy was the gonal f in the injectible pen. I've only dealt with vials previously. After using the pen I'm really not impressed. To start with, if I have to read the directions more than once to figure out what to do, and squint at the diagram multiple times, the process is already too complicated. It's bulky and clunky and takes way too many steps. It's awkward to inject. Give me a powder vial and saline any day. So much easier, faster, and insulin needles inject it so much smoother. I've already decided that if I ever need more gonal f I'm requesting the vial form. The pen is just an over priced novelty. And the biggest issue I have is that if you draw up a dose that is too much, you're screwed and have to waste the meds. No thank you! I prefer to have more control over my high priced meds.
