Ivf med hiding

I have see all the posts about hiding in the house, that is not my issue. Mine is how to hide em from people outside the house.

Backstory: dh and I are not telling our family and friends when we are going through our ivf. Won't be announcing until I'd be out of 1st trimester. We don't want to get people hopes up. Well we spend a lot of time hanging out with his family, like 10-13 hours a day, every weekend and some week day evenings.

So what are some ways to hide my fridge meds? I can't really put them in my IL fridge and most days we are out doing activities and traveling with them.

    I'm not sure I understand... Are you living with your in laws? Are they looking in your fridge? Are you planning to be out and about when it's time for your meds and not at a fridge? Are you doing your injections at your in-laws? A little clarity can help get some suggestions...

    It might depend on the med, but I believe any that need to be stored in the fridge can be at room temperature for some time and still be safe to use. Gonal-f for example can actually be at room temp for a few months before it goes bad.

    We didn't tell anyone we were going through IVF either. I put all my meds and needles in a small cosmetic clutch any time I was out and about during the time I'd need to give myself the injections. That way if I took it with me to the bathroom it gave the impression I was on my period and changing my tampon/pad.
