Storing Fertility Medication

7 Replies

How is everyone storing there fertility medication that needs to be kept below 25 degrees?

I've kept mine in the cardboard box it arrived in and put it inside an asda cooler bag

I'm always worried temperature might go to 25 degrees or above and I don't have a way to lower the temperature

To be mine is just on the side in the spare bedroom! Are you in the UK. I think its really about prolonged length of exposure to the heat so I am sure in the cardboard box it will be fine x

Our clinic recommended putting them in the fridge during the heat wave last week. They are out and in a big dark cupboard under the stairs now. Good luck!

Unfortunately I looked up putting them in fridge but found out fyremadel, clexane and lubion shouldn't go in fridge

On hot days, reusable cooler blocks might help? We put the blocks in the bedroom to cool ourselves down 😂

I didn't even think about the heatwave! Oops. Mine are in a cardboard box in our utility room which is usually dark and cool but it definitely would have been over 25 degrees during the heatwave last week!

Thanks everyone for your comments. Nervous about upcoming heatwave again
