AF before OTD - when to stop pessaries?

[Scottishgirl85]

I'm 12dp5dt and have started bleeding today. I've known the cycle failed for several days now and would just like to move on. My OTD is Tuesday at 14dp5dt. Should I just stop the pessaries now, or should I dutifully continue until OTD? And do you reduce them gradually? I'm on 400mg twice a day vaginally.
My clinic is abroad, and I prefer email contact with them, so won't hear from them until tomorrow afternoon. So would love advice from anyone who has gone through this. Thanks x

I'm so sorry about the result

I've always stopped as soon as I start bleeding. That's a sign the progesterone has already dipped too far to maintain the lining and it felt to me like adding insult to injury to have to carry on with them

Hope you get your bfp soon

Thanks so much for your quick reply. I didn't think I'd start to bleed whilst still on the pessaries. Do you think I will need a bigger dose next time? Or if I'd been pregnant my body would have been producing it's own and the pessaries would just be providing extra support?
Just want to focus on a FET now. How quickly did you you move on to next treat?
I hope you got your bfp

My clinic's OTD is 9dp5dt so I think by now you would have had a + hpt. Sorry that it hasn't worked this time. I've had failed cycles as well and the disappointment is fierce. I just stopped the pessaries cold turkey on clinic advice and it was fine.

You can ask your clinic to arrange progesterone blood tests for you if you are worried about the dose
You can get one done for tomorrow if you want, but you'll have to stay on the pessaries between now and the test if you do

Glad to hear you've got frozen embies and really hope the next cycle works for you.

I've done a FET back to back after a fresh cycle, but some clinics prefer you to wait a month in between if you overstimulated on your fresh cycle, to give your body a chance to get hormone levels back down.

Good luck

Thanksgiving for the advice, much appreciated. I haven't tested since Thursday as knew I was out. Thinking I'll do pessaries tonight and then do frer tomorrow so I'll be absolutely sure.
When you say back to back, do you mean you had your AF after failed cycle (ie what I'm having now) and then did a FET on your next cycle? Think that's what you my clinic will do but hoping my body will be recovered by then...

Thanksgiving = thanks!!
