Left Cetrotide Out :-(

in Trouble TTC
I got all my meds last night!  I put them all away and then decided to make sure I was organized.  I put everything on the kitchen table, went through the prescriptions, needles, etc.  I made sure I knew what to take when.  Then I went to bed.  Oops!  I left my low dose HCG and cetrotide out on the table (not in the fridge).  Called the pharmacy...low dose HCG okay.  F'd with the cetrotide.  I just wasted $260 worth of meds.  I had a complete meltdown this morning. Luckily, DH was super supportive and reminded me that I just found out yesterday that I got a raise.  Not the point...but I'm trying to have a better outlook that money isn't important.  I still hate how f'ing expensive IF is!  And still mad at myself!

    What's your dosage?

    I found this on a pharmacy website:

    Cetrotide 0.25mg - Store refrigerated (36-46?F). Store in original box. Use immediately after reconstitution/mixing.
    Cetrotide 3.0mg - Store at room temperature (68-77?F) excursions permitted to (59-86?F). Store in original box. Use immediately after reconstitution/mixing.

    It's exactly what my meds storage sheet from Caremark Specialty says, too. (I just got meds delivered on Thursday). 

    Even if you do have the lower dosage, I would talk to your nurse and explain that it was delivered refrigerated and then accidentally left out for ~8-9hrs and see if it's still ok.

    FX for you!

    Thanks! I do have the smaller dosage and called the pharmacy. I spoke with a pharmacist and they confirmed "no good." It has to be continually refrigerated. I thought about calling the nurse but I know the pharmacist knows better than RN. DH and I decided we would not like to chance it not working and potentially mess up the whole cycle. The money is minimal in the grand scheme of things. Lesson learned! :

    I'm so sorry. Ug, I would have felt the same and reacted the same. It sucks when insurance doesn't cover the meds and they are so spendy.

    I am glad that DH was sweet about it. That always helps.
