Accidentally forgot to put the vial back in the refrigerator today after injecting. Was out at room temperature for about 8 hours. Is it still good?
 
Yes it is still good. Don’t worry. HCG is not fragile it can last a while not refrigerated. It might lose some potency. But if room temperature wasn’t extremely high not even that
 
Direct light is worse than room temp . If any doubt squirt a little on a dollar store pregnancy test . Should come up positive . Or after injection , next day you can urinate on a test yourself . In any case I've done both . It worked .

Cmon, man. Pee on it, and it still turns positive??
 
FWIW, I emailed my Defy rep on this just last week cause I left mine out for about 24 hours without realizing and was told: "In regards to the HCG, after 72 hours of not being refrigerated we recommend discarding the medication. If it was since Monday evening, we are still within the 72 hour window. You should still be good to go!"

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
