The answer is: NO

I called the Pfizer help line this morning and spoke to the on-call weekend nurse. When Miles the nurse taught us how to do the injections he took us through from when you attach the meds cartridge to the Genotropin pen all the way through the injection. This made sense, since it was our first time, the cartridge was not attached, etc. 

After that, you're on your own. You are left hanging about how to do the injections on a daily basis. Where do you pick up in the string of instructions? The DVD/website is not helpful on this, because it too begins when you attach the meds.

Cut to the chase: I have been giving Natasha injections but no meds for the last two nights. 

The good news is that she is getting more used to the shots, and they hurt less without the meds, which could sting a bit (according to the on-call nurse), gradually reducing the fear factor. 

The bad news is, of course, three days of injections wasted. I definitely felt no need for a dress rehearsal of these. Oh well. At least I know now. And am prepared in case she feels the sting tonight.
