Fridge or room temp after use?

[Futurethinking2026]

DH started today.

It says can be kept at room temp, but do you all store yours in the fridge or room temp?

Always assumed fridge but now this has thrown me.

I personally keep mine in my fridge door, just because its easier and I feel (without justification, its in my head!) it keep its safe to use and never gets too warm.

I keep it in the fridge, I prefer it to stay cold even if it doesn't have to be kept cold.

Thanks both. I’ve put it back in the fridge as that’s what my gut was telling me!

It needs to be kept in the fridge and 1 pen can stay out of the fridge for 2 weeks.

It actually says it can be stored at room temp at up to 30* for 30 days.

Yes, it should be kept in the fridge before first use and can be kept in the fridge before use for as long as the expiry date marked on the pen. Once used it must be used within 30 days and can be kept in or out of the fridge.

@anon202420252026 where the heck have you got that from?!?

Stays in the fridge until you use it.. Then I keep mine in my chest of drawers in my bedroom.
fridge or drawer, once its opened the instructions say use within 30 days.

I tend to keep mine in a fridge all the time. I know you don't have to, but it gives me an extra reassurance especially that I use the bonus dose. It is also out of reach of toddler 😅.

Mine lives in the fridge. Besides possible access issues or privacy for those who don't want others seeing theirs in the fridge, I don't see any other reason for it being stored outside the fridge. Seems like the best place for it, especially with consistent temp and all.

I store the pen in the fridge until I start to use it then I keep it in my ensuite along with the needles and wipes as that is where I use it.

Before starting I read that using it straight out the fridge can cause bruising in some people.

I never experienced any bruising but then again I inject in my tummy and there are layers upon layers of fat there 😅.
