Hcg storage when you have no refrigeration

[Body_weight02]

Ok, so the title is a little misleading but I could think of how to word it. I’m currently mid cycle and leave Sat for a weeks family vacation. My in laws are coming with us so I can’t leave my pre-loaded insulin syringes in the freezer. Well, I don’t want to explain or lie about what it is, be easier to avoid. With the short half-life I don’t know that taking a higher dose before I leave will do me any good, but I’m equally unsure about it’s effectiveness at room temp for several days either.
(All my stats and cycle info are in my cycle log under “3rd cycle T/EQ”)

No go bro. You should never freeze/unfreeze and freeze again.

I know it doesn't help now but in the future, just buy empty sterile vials and reconstitute into the vial.
Then just put the vial in a script bottle or similar. Easy to hide.

The only other option would be to use one of those beer coolers storage and just make sure to replace the icepacks regularly.
At least this way it will stay at fridge temp.

Maybe there's even an electric version if you are lucky.

I preload my slin pins immediately after reconstituting and keep them in a foil coffee bag in the freezer. Rather not explain to the kids why there are dozens of needles in the freezer haha

I constituted the hcg, drew it all out and froze it all I n the same day. So, if it thaws out but I keep it in a cooler it should be fine?

Yes, if you used bac water it should stay good for the whole week no problem. At the very worst case it'll degrade slightly but you can just up the dose 50iu or whatever.
Just make sure its between 2-8c (no idea what that is in Fahrenheit)

Make sure you transfer it directly from freezer to cooler, so it gradually thaws and wont go "warm".

Just to make it clear, you should not freeze them again later, ice crystals can form then. Cant remember why its bad but its bad.

Copy on that, thanks for the help.

Yeah, at home their hid in a box of broccoli. Total kid repellent, but with my father-in-law poking around trying to maintain his size 44 pants not sure they’d remain hidden.
