IVF medication storage ideas / suggestions

[luthien]

Really weird, but what does everyone store their IVF drugs in?

The card boxes are taking up loads of space , both the ones in the fridge and the ones at room temp. I'm happy to take them out of the packaging, keeping one flat-packed box and instructions for each type of medication. If they're meant to be sterile they'll stay in their own packaging of course.

It's things like the needles for the stims pen; they're in their own little sterile packet but I don't need 5 card boxes with a few in (so much card), so they're going in a tub of their own. Also those don't need to go in the fridge, just the actual meds.

Then there's things like pessaries which aren't in the fridge but still in a huge cardboard box.

Has anyone sorted theirs into storage boxes so they have a nice little organised system? What size boxes did you use?

I'm a super organised person so hate the waste of card boxes and plastic pieces when it's not needed.

Nothing to recommend other than I feel your pain! I've been on 450 of menopur (so just under 3 doses per pack - and about 20 syringes and needs per pack. The waste makes me annoyed! We have a tiny flat and our bathroom looks like a pharmacy and if we have people over I have to try and stash the sharps bin and drugs out of sight.

Ah no, I'm starting out, first cycle. I'm thinking something like the organiser drawers or a sewing box thing so that it's all in one place.
