I'm in Middletown, NJ and staring down the barrel of Hurricane Irene. If I had to evacuate (thankfully, I am on high land and don't have to) my fertility meds would definitely be the first thing I put in the car! :)

    Me too! I told DH do not open the fridge!! Maybe I need to buy a cooler tomorrow from costco in case.   We are in Long Island and our county is already considered a hurricane zone on good days.

    I talked to the pharmacist where I work, and he said that the literature states that Ovidrel is good for 30 days unrefrigerated. If that's the case, then why do I have to put it in the fridge at all??? Because I usually use it within two weeks of picking it up....anywho...just going to keep the fridge closed as much as possible.

    It's good for a great deal longer refrigerated- and if your cycle gets canceled during monitoring the extra time would enable you to use the trigger next cycle instead.
