Great info, Gene...thanks. I have an unmixed/unconstituted vial of HCG that I thought was safe to store at room temperature until reconstitution. I've had it in the back of a dark cabinet at room temperature for about 3 weeks. Based on what you are saying, I only have about 5 weeks left before I would need to use it; is that correct?

I won't be ready for that vial yet as I still have a good amount of reconstituted HCG (stored in the fridge) left. Would transferring the unmixed/unconstituted vial of HCG into the fridge or freezer extend its life or should I count that vial as a casualty of inexperience?
