Traveling For Easter With Refrigerated Meds? Help!

ellemarie7

Hi! Will anyone else be in the midst of IVF or FET and traveling for Easter next weekend with meds that have to stay refrigerated? DH and I have a 2 - 2 1/2 hour drive each way. I'm worried about the meds (it's really just the Neupogen I have that needs to be refrigerated) losing potency or anything during that drive, and we also are stopping at a family party on Sunday for a couple hours so it might have to be left in the car. It is SO expensive and crucial to my protocol that it "keeps" so I need to make sure I don't ruin it. Should I pack it in a mini cooler with ice? Will that be too cold? Plan on asking my nurse as well but value the opinions on here/real-life experiences.

TIA!

Hi, I was traveling in London and had the same problem. I had a little bag of ice and put the vile in another bag on top of the ice. It worked for me. I’d do the same but put in a small cooler if you can. Good luck!
