Refrigerate HCG??? Refrigerate FHS?
Am I supposed to keep the HCG shot refrigerated?
What about the Bravelle? I read the package and it does say to either keep it refrigerated or at room temperature. 
What do you think I should do?

I have always used the Ovidrel trigger and that got refrigerated. All of my injections get refrigerated.

You were on Bravelle too right? So you refrigerated that one too?

I was never on that one. Try google 
All I know is, Gonal-f and Ovidrel both get refrigerated.
Also, my first time around I took them out of the fridge and used them right away. This time (meaning, post-loss) I noticed in the instructions it says to leave it out for a few mins to let it get more to room temp- so I would just leave it out for 10 mins or so. I mean, I DID get pregnant the first time around without doing this, so I hiiiiiighly doubt it makes any difference! Just thought I'd throw that out there.. .read the instructions!
ETA: In case you were wondering, gonal is FSH.

OK thanks! I did read the instructions  the Bravelle said room temperature and refrigeration are both good, but wanted to get someone's opinion.

Yea figured I'd be a good team player and did a google search for you. How frustrating, I see what you mean about the room temp OR refrigerated!  How annoying that they can't be more clear!

I know I googled it as well. I know a couple of the ladies here have taken Bravelle and I was wondering what they did.
The HCG and Lupron are refrigerated. I guess I will put the Bravelle there 2! Why not? Either way is fine! I am worried to leave it out since the heat is on in our house. Is not really hot...but is it really room temperature??
How can something so simple be so difficult???

Re: Refrigerate HCG??? Refrigerate FHS?
Honestly since it says you can do either, I'd just put it in the fridge and find out more info tomorrow. I'm sure the board will be more active during the day.
Also, did it come on an ice pack?

Yeah! I agree Thanks for the info
It didn't come with an ice pack.
The only one that came with the ice pack was the HCG.
The HCG and Bravelle came in separate bags but same delivery

Re: Refrigerate HCG??? Refrigerate FHS?
if its ovidrel HCG it gets refrigerated, if its novarel you dont have to.
i think bravelle is the same as FSH, no? if so it PROBABLY needs refrigeration.

Thank you Flower Wife
Yes, it is Ovidrel and since it came with the ice pack I refrigerated. 
Bravelle is follicle-stimulating hormone, but the package said either refrigerate or keep at room temperature
After much research last night I decided to leave at room temperature.
Thank you once again
