Pregnant after IF

How soon is too soon to stop PIO?

My dr. told me I could stop PIO today.  But it seems so early to me.  I know this has been asked before but would you please indulge me and tell me when you stopped PIO?

Thanks!

Re: How soon is too soon to stop PIO?

  • Not too soon - My RE told me to stop when he released me at 7.5 weeks.  Of course I knew better and begged to stay on it until I saw my OB at 9 weeks.  Both of them basically laughed at my glutton for punishment.

  • Different REs have different protocols.  My RE's protocol was 10 weeks.  But if your progresterone levels are high enough, then I think you're fine.
    2nd ectopic resulted in loss of tube. HSG revealed remaining tube is "severely torqued".

    I stopped at 10 weeks but my dr was kind of indifferent about when I stopped.  It felt a little arbitrary -- the date they chose.

  • I had to stay on till 12 weeks but it was b/c I had some bleeding.  My RE's normal is around 8 weeks. 
  • My RE told me I could stop it when released - 6.5 weeks. I stayed on it for another week until I saw my OB.

  • I was on endometrin instead of PIO but they stopped me at 4w2d because my progesterone levels were off the charts.

  • Do you think this is different with ivf and fet since my ovaries weren't involved in the fet?
  • My RE kept me on until 12 weeks.
