Hey blueyes1, for down regulation i ended up being switch onto I buserelin injections which didn't require to be refrigerated. However when I went onto menopur for stimulation, these did as did the last injection for the trigger shot. Hope that helps! Good luck!x

Hi,

For me it was just the HCG drug the last injection you take.

Wishing you lots of luck

Don't worry blue eyes, everything will be explained as you go. My top tip is to take a pen and pad to write everything down. .. it is really easy with all the anxiety and emotion to get mushy brain and worry that you have got things wrong/forget things. All the staff I have encountered are really aware of getting the details right. Good luck with it all ... one step at a time.

Hi, when my meds were delivered it was clearly marked which ones needed to be refrigerated. They came in their own bag with a big red sticker. I also got a check list included by the person who had packed the medicine and ticked off on the same list when i had unpacked them. This also clearly said refrigerated item. Please don't worry, I think it is designed for nervous and worried couples so they can't get it wrong.

Good luck xxxx

Hi all my medication for IVF came 2 days ago and was bit confuse even after reading the storage instructions so I called the pharmacist to be on the safer side , she said all the medicine I have can be stored in dark cold cupboard no need to refrigerate . Only should avoid the direct sunlight getting into it . Fortunately I do have a storage cupboard perfectly to store them .

All the best wishes ..
