-: Hello, I'm Sarah Williams.
Thank you for watching this instructional video
for the Pregnyl injection.
We wish you success with your IVF journey.
You will need the following:
vial of Pregnyl powder,
vial of Pregnyl solvent,
syringe with attached needle,
subcutaneous needle, alcohol pad wipes,
gauze, and sharps container.
(soft music)
Remove the cap from both vials
and disinfect the top of the vials
with the alcohol pad wipe.
Open and attach sterile needle and syringe.
Insert the needle into the center
of the Pregnyl solvent vial
and push the plunger down
until all of the air enters the vial.
Invert the syringe so that the vial is upside down
but still attached to the syringe.
Make sure that the medication submerges the tip
of the needle.
Pull back on the plunger of the syringe
and measure the proper dosage.
Remove the needle from the vial
and place it into the vial of Pregnyl powder,
and release the solvent by pushing the plunger.
Mix the contents of the vial
by gently swirling the vial
until all of the powder has been dissolved.
Invert the syringe so that the vial is upside down
but still attached to the syringe.
Pull the plunger back until all of the contents
from the vial reside in the syringe.
Remove the needle from the vial.
Gently twist and remove the needle from the syringe.
Dispose of the needle, placing it into the sharps container.
Open and attach the subcutaneous needle and remove the cap.
Don't let the needle touch anything, including your hands.
While holding the needle upright,
gently tap the side of the syringe
until the air bubbles migrate to the top.
Apply slight pressure on the plunger
until a drop of liquid appears at the tip of the needle.
The injection is administered in a subcutaneous site
specified by your physician.
The most convenient site for the subcutaneous injection
is in the abdomen around the navel.
If your physician has specified
that you are to administer this injection differently,
for example, intramuscularly,
please proceed as directed by your doctor or nurse.
Wipe the injection site with an alcohol prep wipe
and allow the skin to dry.
Take the syringe in your preferred hand.
Pinch a fold of skin between your fingers
and insert the needle in a slight angle.
Release the skin
after the full length of the needle is inserted.
Push the plunger until all of the medication is administered
into the injection site.
Gently remove the syringe and apply pressure with the gauze.
Dispose of the used syringe
into the designated sharps container.
Thank you for watching this instructional video
