I used ukmedi.co.uk for mine

@biscuitsndtea can you purchase them from your clinic? My clinic recommended Asda due to the price but said they can provide the needles? X

Thanks for the replies :)

@Lebe14 Yes my clinic said I can buy the needles from them. I was just concerned about the cost as my clinic is very expensive.

Asda said they will not be provide any needles at all. Were you able to get needles from Asda ?

@biscuitsndtea No I wasn't able to get them from Asda either - my clinic had already made me aware though and said they could provide. I did look online to purchase them (just because I like being organised haha) but I couldn't for the life of me work out which ones to get. They don't seem expensive when trying to look online though - not compared to meds anyway! X

There was a very helpful poster called gardenlady I think, if you search her posts she gave advice about where to buy needles and what size.
i didn’t buy any medication from Asda, mine always came with needles provided from Ferrility2U.

@LongerthanMrTicklesarms lol I was just randomly clicking on posts and saw this one!

@biscuitsndtea I buy my needles and syringes from medisave, your clinic should be able to tell you what you need to get. If you tell me the meds you'll be on I can try and help.

Anyone got advice on which to buy for lubion? I've been advised to get the following, but can't actually work out which ones to get online to ensure they're definitely right:

1.	2ml syringes
2.	B/Braun 0.30x12mm BL/LB (30G x1/2)
3.	Blunt Fill Needle W/5 Micron filter 18G x 11/2" (1.2 mm x40mm

@Lebe14 I got all mine from ukmedi - you should be able to search by the info you have. This is the first one - ukmedi.co.uk/bbraun-sterican-hypodermic-needle-30g-x-1-2inch/?sku=4656300-10&dfw_tracker=133979-1585-0000

Gardenlady543 · 12/10/2023 18:25

@Lebe14 that's what I used for lubion.

Lebe14 · 12/10/2023 19:04

Thank you so so much @Gardenlady543 and @kirstysmbc - will take a look tonight. I guess it just needs to be the right size and should be okay?!? I'll make sure I take what I buy to my appointment with the nurse to check all okay before I need to start.

Thanks again! X

Thank you to everyone on this group for the recommendations. Purchased them online and they arrived today, so I'm all set! Purchased more than I needed so double checked that the needles fit the syringe and they do!! Thank you again xx
