Can I ask a stupid question. Just done 1st Injection and the pen looks empty after. Is this right? Really worried overdosed despite dialling to 1!

It's OK. The plunger is still at the top so it is full - or nearly full.

KrankyKumquat · 22/09/2024 13:24

It's fine. The clear bit is full of your other doses- it's a clear, colourless liquid

Rm2018 · 22/09/2024 13:25

Oh thank you! Totally scared myself lol

No that looks correct. There will be liquid in the clear part under the plunger still but you can't see it as it's clear.
I'm trying to attach a photo of what pen looks like after each dose but it's not working at the moment.

TheShellBeach · 22/09/2024 13:28

It looks completely full to me. Are you sure you've even had one dose?
Can you post a picture of the other side of the pen, where the gradation marks are.

Snozzlemaid · 22/09/2024 13:30

Here you go.

Yes, I agree. Doesn’t look like you’ve had any yet.

Rm2018 · 22/09/2024 13:31

Thank you. I'll compare that to mine then as still looks full potentially. Not sure what pen done lol

Yes, it's still full.
Put a new needle on, prime the pen again, turn the top up to the 1.
Then inject. Push the plunger right in till it won't go any further. Then count to ten then remove it.

Rm2018 · 22/09/2024 13:35

Thanks I'll Try again doh

No stop- you’ve done your dose/ the picture above is correct.

if you put the needle on, twisted to 1 and plunged until it was back to 0 then you have successfully administered one dose.

do not do another!

That's a full pen. She hasn't used any of it yet.
There are four doses plus the bonus in that pen. You can see that the plunger hasn't moved yet.

Snozzlemaid · 22/09/2024 14:12

Here's a new used pen that looks just like yours.
No dose has been taken yet.
Please read through all of the instructions before you try again so you know what you're doing.

How are you getting on, OP?
Post a picture of the pen again, now you've done the jab.

Rm2018 · 22/09/2024 14:15

Thanks for all the help. It looks like the picture of 1 dose gone now. No idea what happened but worked now. Really appreciate the help ladies
