Might be worth asking about... ask them what they REALLY think, not what they have to tell you. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/injectible-meds-and-expiration-dates#post-2638096 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 19:02:37 +0000 MaryM 2638096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They expired in September...so not *that* long ago. Hrmmm... </p> <p>I'm thinking I might ask the pharmacy, but also thinking they'll of course want my money for a new script. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/injectible-meds-and-expiration-dates#post-2638025 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 16:17:45 +0000 MaryM 2638025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: I was getting a month supply at a time, so I wonder if the way it was packaged was different (so it would be good for at least that long). </p> <p>Someone in another group said they couldn't use theirs past the expiration because it like, evaporated and there wasn't enough there. </p> <p>Now I'm really wondering what I'll see when I look at them tonight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/injectible-meds-and-expiration-dates#post-2638022 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 16:13:10 +0000 PurplePumps 2638022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The compounded meds only had a 9 day shelf life once I received it I believed. It sucks that it's so expensive, but I wouldn't use it... there's no really knowing what happens to it and if it's makeup changes when it sits for that long past expiration. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/injectible-meds-and-expiration-dates#post-2637980 Mon, 17 Oct 2016 14:49:25 +0000 MaryM 2637980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with compounded hormones? </p> <p>before and during my last pregnancy, my doctor had me on HCG because of low E and P (before) and RPL (during). </p> <p>I have some leftover pre-filled syringes in the fridge, but I'm sure they're "expired" (I think I got them in July)</p> <p>But they're also expensive! Has anyone asked their doctors/had experience with injectible drugs, expiration dates, and what the expiration dates really mean?</p> <p>I mean, if it at all looks odd I obviously won't use it. </p> <p>We're not TTC yet, we're just trying to normalize my cycles. So even if it's a "strength" issue, I don't think that would matter as much. But I don't want to inject myself with something that will obviously harm me. </p>
