Fridge off & medication

Hiya - I’ve just got back from work and noticed my fridge has been turned off at the plug (it’s next to our air fryer plug so think one of us clicked it off by mistake) 😭

My gonal f & ovitrelle pen is in there, I haven’t opened any of them as my period is due in the next couple of days. Obviously they’re the most expensive out of all my medication - I’ve emailed my clinic but they’re closed now so just wondering if anyones had anything like this happen & has had to replace it all?

Meant to say - nothing in the fridge is cold anymore so not sure how long it’s been off, we haven’t been home for a couple of days.

I had similar happen to me, my clinic told me that as long as it is used within 30 days it is actually fine. My fridge would have only been off maximum like 7/8 hours before I noticed.

Thank you @AnnieStar12 !

Update for anyone else incase they’re in similar situation. Clinic were fine with gonal f and said didn’t need to go back in fridge - just had to replace the Ovitrelle as this does definitely need to stay in the fridge.
