OMG...Help... I think I messed up my medication - Gonal - F

So today I went in for my U/S and labs and the nurse called me back and I thought she said "Dr Lu wants you to do 125 and come in for an U/S tomorrow" well I got all worried because I have work tomorrow and Friday and we hung up the phone for me to fix my schedule. So I managed to switch my Thursday for someone Saturday. Call office and going in for U/S and labs tomorrow at 9:15.

Here's my problem I went to take my injection (Gonal F) and the pen doesn't have a 125 mark on it. So I figured she probably said 112.5 and I was going to do that, but what if she said 225. What should I do this is what I've done so far:

7/17 = Gonal F 75
7/18 = Gonal F 75
7/19 = U/S & labs office called said do Gonal F 75
7/20 = Gonal F 75
7/21 = Gonal F 75
7/22 = U/S & Labs (I had several small follies , like 9 on each side {I have PCOS} my largest one measured 8)
office called back said Gonal F 150
7/22 = Gonal F 150
7/23 = Gonal F 150
7/24 = U/S & labs (slow growers she said largest follie 10 with two more that are 8 and the others are smaller than 8)
Gonal F ????? U/S & labs tomorrow morning what should I do?

Does your clinic have a nurse on call? My clinic has a nurse on call around the clock during cycles. If you're not able to reach someone just repeat what you've been doing and be sure to let them know when you go in because if they were wanting a different dose than what you used they would also be expecting for your bloodwork to have different results

They probably did not say to go lower than you have been especially since growing slow. Just my input. Is there an on call doc you can verify with? Thats what I would do call the office and talk to the on call person thats why they are there! Good luck hope you figure it out.

Thank y'all. I didn't think there would be an on call. I talked myself into just taking the 225 (just looking at the progression thus far). This was the first time he said to do a certain dose and come back the next day. I feel so foolish, but I can guarantee it wont happen again.
