Lupron left out on the table

Hi ladies!

After I did my Lupron shot tonight (only 2 more to go, wahoo!!!) I spaced and left my vial of Lupron out on the table. It was out for just under 4 hours. 

I am going to call the pharmacy in the morning, but just to calm my nerves this evening....

I have an "old" vial in the fridge that I started using about a month ago...do any of you know how long Lupron lasts for once its been open? And how long can a vial stay at room temperature for before I have to toss it?

BFP #1 - chemical pregnancy, natural miscarriage at 7 weeks on 2/11/12 BFP #2 - u/s at 8 weeks showed a tiny fetal pole measuring at 6 weeks, heart rate slow at 94bpm. Natural miscarriage a few days later on 4/15/12 August 2012- Diagnosed with pancreatic divisum, September - ERCP w/stent placement. Fingers crossed this was the issue! Doc gave the go-ahead to start trying again. BFP #3 - Chemical pregnancy ending a few days after Thanksgiving 2012. Clearly my pancreas was not the issue. Doc told us to try one more time. BFP #4 - Chemical pregnancy ending in January 2013. Now I'm pissed. February- meeting with RE. Test results show I have a low egg reserve and DH has severely messed up sperm. Docs are quite confused as to how we're getting pregnant to begin with. Let the IVF games begin!! April - stim time!! 7R, 6F via ICSI, 5 made it to day 5, 3 look "good enough" to be sent for PGS testing. We are now the proud owners? Parents? Of 2 healthy frozen embryos. June - ugh. Lupron. So much Lupron. And Aygestin, and Estrogen, and Progesterone suppositories. Things are going in to my body every way possible! July 25- scheduled for our first FET. Aaand huge fail. All of the estrogen gave my pancreas a good old fashioned hissy fit. Long story short, moving on to gestational carrier.

    My nurse told me once opened, it could stay out...I always kept mine in the fridge, but I think you are ok. 

    I traveled (by plane) twice, and I know it didn't stay at fridge temp. and it was fine.

    I wouldn't worry.

    I worry too, I thought I was going to run out of Lupron, but ended up having more than enough! 

    Thanks for the luck! :)

    This, definitely! Also, is it Leuprolide Acetate or "Lupron"? I learned that Leuprolide acetate does not need to be refrigerated, while Lupron does. Either way, you are fine for a four hour period. No worries.

    Thanks ladies!!!!

    Just got off the phone with the pharmacist - 4 hours out of the fridge is okay. Once it has been opened (and refrigerated) it is only good for one month. For reference, I'm taking Lueprolide Acetate.
