I must have been really tired when I gave myself my lupron shot last night because this evening I found the Lupron in the box in my bedroom. I'm worried because I've been keeping it in the refrigerator and the box says that it should be stored below 77 degrees. I'm guess it's probably around 80 degrees in the room I left it in. Does anyone know anything about this? I'm wondering if I should call my RE. I already gave myself tonight's shot. I'm guessing it was out of the fridge about 21 hours....ugggg...

I think it should be fine. It's not like at 77 degrees it's fine and at 78 degrees it's ruined. It should have a 5-10 degree buffer zone on it.

You know the Freedom Pharmacy told me that it did not have to be refrigerated. I called my RE and she wanted it refrigerated but I don't think it had to be. When my box came the Gonal-F was on ice but the Lupron wasn't.

Hey they like you to refrigerate after opening but it has the ER dr. told me 30 Hours. Because i went to er one night and my husband and I were trying to keep it on ice to keep it cold and Er dr. said oh you have 30 hrs before it would go bad off ice. But i would call my RE and let them know what happened so they can notate it.

My RE told me only my follistim needed to be refrigerated. I never ever refrigerated my lupron and it worked for me:) So please don't worry at all. ITs fine!!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
