Rx question...

Ugh, so I picked up my Rx for this cycle (clomid and my HCG injectable vials).

I couldn't find any info on storage of the HCG. So, I just kept in my my bags while we were traveling.

Today I left the HCG in the car for 4 hours today it was about 45-50 degrees out. Of course, on the way home I read to keep the vials stored between 57-86 degrees.

Big deal, no big deal? I will probably call the Pharmacist to check tomorrow (Or, am I just being paranoid?).

Thanks girls!

I'd call just to see, but I'm sure it isn't a big deal.

Teece...which type of HCG? I always had Profasi at the OB's office but I'll be using Ovidrel for my IVF cycle.

Here's a link to the Ovidrel info:

Don't know if that will help or not...

.

I'd say it's ok so as long as it wasn't frozen or too hot (like above the 90's)...if that happened, I'd be concerned but I think you're ok.

I'll check that link out. It was only a few hours and about 7 degress lower...

Any other thoughts are welcome, but like I said, I think I'm being a little paranoid.

Kelli: PS, it's not Ovidal. I did ask the Pharmacist (when I picked up) if it needed to be refridgerated and she said no.

Thanks again!

I know my hCG is always stored in the fridge at the pharmacy...but does it really matter? I didn't keep it in the fridge when I got it.

Its probably fine, I never stored mine in the fridge and just a few degrees is probably no big deal.
