  I always took mine at night (I can't remember if they told me to take it at night, I don't think so though). I think it's more important to take it at the same time every day

  I'm instructed to take mine between 6-8 am every day

  
  

  Me: 32  DH: 33  Married: March 2004
  

  
  

  July 2006: started TTC
  2008: HSG (normal), couple rounds of clomid through gyno
  2008 - 2010: dragging my feet out of fear and procrastination
  October 2010: first consultation with RE, dx PCOS and fibroids (DH slightly low count/motility)
  Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012:  In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
  January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly
  February 2013: second HSG, fibroids pushed on tubes which blocked them somewhat
  March 2013: MRI to determine what type of surgery may be necessary
  July 29, 2013: fibroids (5) removed via robotic laparascopy
  August 2013 - Nov 2013 : benched due to recent surgery
  

  
  

  IUI #1, Dec. 24, 2013, BFN 
  

  IUI #2, Jan. 25, 2014, BFN
  IUI #3, Feb. 25, 2014  BFN
  IUI #4 canceled due to lack of response to letrozole
  IUI #4.1 April 28, 2014, BFN
  May 16, 2014: wtf consult, start prepping for IVF in June and add injects for one last IUI in the meantime
  IUI #5 started letrozole and bravelle but canceled after HSG led to new diagnosis
  May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??
  

  June 11, 2014: consult, approved to move on to IVF because the hydro is not completely blocked therefore allowing fluid to move through slowly rather than backwards
  IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN
  September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!
  October 2, 2014 - started metformin treatment
  November 14, 2014 - blood work, brought A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5
  November 26, 2014 - RE finally back from vaca and reviewed my chart, no more IVFs for rest of calendar year
  December 1, 2014 - Right after Thanksgiving, I called a new clinic and got in right away! Plan for IVF
  December 17, 2014 - ER! 29 retrieved (!!), 16 mature, all 16 fertilized (ICSI)
  IVF #2 December 20, 2014 - 3dt of 3 embryos, BFN

  I have a question. Does everyone keep it in the fridge or on the counter? When I google I get mixed reviews. The box says 68-77 degrees but I see where so many are putting it in their fridge. So I'm confused. I just started taking it last night and I just keep it in it's box so far.

  Fucking bump!!!!

  I think it depends if you have lupron or leuprolide Acetate ( the generic version). The leuprolide acetate does not need to be refrigerated at all

  That's what I have. They really need to be VERY clear on the box. This is stressful enough to not question if I need to keep cold or not.
  
  @GrailSeeker14‌ during stims I keep my Gonal/follistim in the refrigerator the whole time. My house stays between 72-75, I live in the Deep South and it's hot so we love our air conditioner. I've heard some people warm it up but I never did and it didn't hurt.

  Fucking bump!!!!

  I take mine in the AM (usually around 7am), while I stim in the PM (usually around 8-9pm).

  
  

  As for temperature, I have the Leuprolide Acetate and keep it at RT. If the box says to keep below 77degrees, and you experience a day of really hot temps, I would probably put them in the fridge. For these types of drugs, colder is typically better if given the choice of either cold or hot. Heat degrades and denatures, so if we want our full dosage strength we've got to keep our meds active!!

  
  

  I specifically keep all my meds (even the non temp sensitive ones) in a closet in my house that I know stays really cool, and we have A/C. But if our A/C broke or we lost power, I would quickly put the temp sensitive stuff in the fridge to make sure that it never got too hot.
