Hi Lisa Yeah they do need to be kept in the fridge, I was advised by my clinic to make sure they was kept in the fridge so I would say yeah. Hope all works out for you. Love Shell. 22wks 4d pg xx

Hi Lisa P My instructions from clinic were Buserelin injections room temp the others in fridge. I think there are different types of drugs used for IVF depending on the person so if your unsure give your clinic a call to put your mind at rest. Good luck.

Hi Lisa, I wasn't told to keep any of my drugs in the fridge!!! I know it says on the information booklet that they should be. I'm quite sure though that they are not kept at the pharmacy in the fridge so I suppose it defeats the whole object. Also you may not always be at home by your fridge when you do the injections, especially if its the pen. I really don't think it can be that important unless you live in the middle of the desert - room temp will do. But ring your hosp just to put your mind at ease and then you know you're doing the right thing. LOL Kate xxx ICSI Ist try test wed!!

Hi, The only drugs I was told to keep in the fridge was my pregnyl - late night injection prior to ec! Which of course I hadn't done so ended up having to buy more when we were down in Nottingham for treatment! All other drugs are just kept at room temp - the patient information lealet will give you info on correct storage. Di

hi lisa, puregon and pregnyl need to be fridged! they arrived to our house in a cool box with ice packs!! the 1st lot of drugs I took didnt, cant remember what they were....menapur or menagon...mena something anyway!all the others were room temp! if they need to go into the fridge they would say on the box and the clinic would have told you. if in doubt phone them! all the best with your tmt! kathryn x
