IVF girlies - when did you stop taking your IVF medication after a successful pregnancy?

[BellaRosex]

My clinic has told me to stop everything at 12 weeks but I'm curious what guidance other people had. I'm on Lubion, Crinone and Progynova.

Hi @BellaRosex i was asked to stop Oestrogen at 12 weeks and progesterone (Lubion and Progynova) at 16 weeks. Currently 23 weeks. Hope that helps! And congratulations 🥳 xx

Started to taper from estrogen from 10 weeks until 14 weeks when I stopped everything. That was after a medicated FET so I was reliant on meds until the placenta was established.

14 weeks, will continue aspirin untill 36 weeks

14 weeks for oestrogen suppositories and aspirin until 36 weeks, same as previous poster.

Oestrogen tablets at 12 weeks, progesterone pessaries at 16 weeks, aspirin at 37 weeks. Currently 29+5 after a medicated FET

Stopped estrogen , lubion and crinone at 9 weeks after medicated fet. Stopped aspirin at around 14 weeks. I thought it was early to stop but everything seems ok at 30 weeks.

I was told by my clinic to stop progesterone at 7 weeks but then I had a very heavy bleed at 11 weeks so I went back on it. Not sure when I will stop now.

It seems like the majority were told 14 weeks. I'm a bit nervous about going off cold turkey at 12 weeks. I was a fully medicated FET. Anyone else go off at 12 weeks and everything be ok?

Bump.

Sorry @BellaRosex i was told to stop progesterone at 16 weeks which is maybe a little longer than others so don’t think I can help with your question. I stopped Progynova at ten weeks as instructed (I looked back and checked). Haven’t been on aspirin but will starting blood thinner injections from 28 weeks, currently 25. Can’t wait for more injections…not!

Thanks for your response! Were you a fully medicated FET? X

Yes fully medicated short protocol. Progynova tablets and Cyclogest pessaries twice a day (I know some people are three times) x

Oh and Lubion injections after I had a bleed until 16 weeks as well x

I had a FET and I was told to stop both oestrogen and progesterone cold turkey around 10 weeks. I was nervous so talked to the clinic and they said there is no harm in continuing if it made me feel less anxious and so I continued until 12 weeks and then tapered. All was fine with the pregnancy.
