Hey Ladies,
I am due to have my trigger tonight at 8pm and I just went to look at the syringe and relaised the spare fridge (where I was keeping it) has the plugged knocked out and nothing in there is cold anymore! I have called the nurses at Fertility Plus but they are after hours so I'm freaking out! I read the box and it said that it can be stored for 30 days at room temp and it hasn't been 30 days yet. I don't know what to do!? If the nurses don't get my message should I take it? Anyone know much about it?

I've no experience or knowledge but I wonder whether you could get an answer from the nurses on Healthline?
Good luck chick! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

Hey Parki
I think it will be fine, Im guessing you have only had the trigger for a few days and if it says it can be stored at room temp it should be fine. Also being that it is coming into winter then the outside temperature is not as hot as say Jan/Feb. Hope your ok Parki  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Thanks Ladies,
Great idea, I would never have though to call them! Healthline agreed it should be ok to take. I googled it too (desperation here!) and it seems as long as it has been under 30 days and under 25 degrees it should be fine. I have had the syringe for since April 23rd and one would assume that before that Fertility Plus kept it in a fridge? Oh Lordy, I think I'm just going to take it. As if things weren't stressful enough! Bleh!

HI Parki,
I would definitely still take it. In this current weather it is unlikely that it has reached over 30 degrees. It may pay to just call the nurses tomorrow to let them know, I have heard of some people doing a double trigger for various reasons so if they thought it was defective for someone then maybe they would just ask you to do another one tomorrow. Good luck with the upcoming EC and I look forward to hearing how you go on the IVF forum.
