    Menopur doesn't need to go in the fridge.  Mine was a powder that I mixed with saline.

    Pharmacy told me that refrigerating the follistim was very important. They said the menopur is OK at room temperature, but not warmer and it is better off in the fridge.

    Menopur should be kept in temps less than 77 F. So depending on where you live, if it gets hotter than that, you will need to keep it in the door of your fridge or in your basement (if you have one). Should not be keep in places that warm up like a bathroom (depending on whether you take hot showers and for how long) and kitchen (if you cook a lot and heat up your kitchen).
