Weaning off FET drugs

Sunny BSunny B member
in Pregnant after IF

I'm currently 13w and my last full day of FET drugs was on Tuesday. Since then I've dropped to 1 ML of my PIO until it's gone (Saturday) and I've taken 3 Estradiol a day instead of 6 (today will be my last day taking any). Did anyone have increased nausea when dropping their drugs? I'm not sure if i'm just in a yuck right now or if it could be related to the drugs.

Any insight is appreciated :)

    You know, I think I did get a resurgence of yucky!  I was pretty good weeks 10-12, I weaned off the estrogen by week 12 then progesterone in weeks 13/14.  My MS picked up again after week 14!

    Although you know correlation is not causation :)

    How long was the resurgence? Thanks for the response!

    Great question! I'm 9 weeks and was told to stop the estrogen patches on Monday. My e2 level was 1100 and they want it over 400. I weaned myself to one patch over two days. As of today I am patch free. I stop progesterone at 12w but will probably wean myself off after that mark.

    I had a massive headache yesterday but not sure it's tied to the lesser amount of estrogen. Knock on wood, so far so good today! I'll keep you updated.
