Medication in fridge

I got my meds delivered Monday and put a thermometer in the fridge. The temp is going from 1 to 10 degrees. The medication says should be stored at 2 to 8 degrees. I'm obsessing about the temperature and probably not helping opening the door but panicking about spoiling the medication. Do you think a degree or 2 over would damage it? I know the cetrotide can be stored outside for up to a month or something but the Ovitrelle comes with specific instruction to even take home from pharmacy in a cool box

I didn’t even think about what temp my fridge was tbh and it all worked fine, I don’t think they’ll spoil that easily. I’ve carried ovitrelle home on the tube for over an hour, then used it at home a bit later and it’s worked fine. Can you just set it a bit lower and ditch the thermometer? Try not to worry too much, lots of people like me will not be worrying about the specific fridge temp at all and had no issues.

Thank you for the reassurance I did a cycle in November and i didn't have a thermometer. I'm just driving myself mad cos it seems to go up and down I'm guessing on when the heating is on. My fridge is old and just worrying. I'm sure most people don't check it
