Re: Oh Boy

I'll let you know. According to Caremark it was 20 vials and each one cost close to $90 retail.

The whole shabang cost about $3K for this cycle.

Re: Oh Boy

What meds do you have?
They told me not to refridgerate the menopur. I don't think any of mine got put in the fridge actually...
When I used gonal-f (in pen form) that was put in the fridge, and when I used lupron that was to be left at room temp.
Are their instructions w/ it?

ETA: I see you don't get them til tomorrow so you won't know about the instructions yet.

Re: Oh Boy

I get it all tomorrow so I'm sure I'll have 'structions.

My cousin had the pen in the fridge from what I remember.

Ganirelex, Gonal-F, Menopur and something else I can't remember.

Re: Oh Boy

Ok, to my knowledge menopur and ganirelix stay out at room temp.
Gonal-f if it's in vial form I have no clue- if it's in pen form I've always been told to put it in the fridge.

BTW I'm SO excited that you're finally getting to start!!!!
for you!!!!

Re: Oh Boy

my IVF nurse told me nothing had to be put in the refrig i kept my gonal -f and menopur out and my lupron was in the refrig

best of luck!!!

Re: Oh Boy

I kept Menopur (powdered form) in the fridge (instructions said 37-77 degrees) and my Ganirelex out. I think the menopur can go either way but once refrigerated, it has to stay that way (or so I was told by the nurse...)

Re: Oh Boy

I put my Gonal-F in the fridge... my doctor says it lasts up until the expiration date that way - otherwise it only lasts about 1 month.
