Infertility

beta #2

just got the call, beta #2 is 716 and progesterone is 72.8.

i go in for an u/s next thurs.

my nurse said i could stop taking the endometrin twice a day and just do it at night.  part of me wants to do that (mainly b/c than i could go back to my non underwearing days) and then i worry that it's not a good idea, so wwyd?

Re: beta #2

  • I am way to cautious to stop - so I would stay on the same dose until after the u/s.

    I am so glad things look good!!!!!

  • Congrats! 

    I am not sure about the endometrin because I was always on PIO, and I stayed at the same dose until 11 weeks.

    So happy for you!


    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

  • Yay for a good beta!
  • no advice about the endometrin...but wanted to tell you Congrats...best wishes for Thursday!
  • Congrats...that is a great number!  My RE doesnt like to lower the progesterone dose until it's up over 100, so i'd probably keep the same dose until your appt next week.  YAY...CONGRATS!!!
  • Congratulations- what great numbers! I always took PIO as well but I always take what my RE recommends.

  • Congrats on the great beta rise.

    I am going to ignore the non underwearing comment and say, if you feel comfortable stopping maybe they can run another blood draw when you go in for your us.  If your progesterone is still through the roof stick with one, otherwise, get back on them twice a day.

  • Wow, what a great beta!!!!

    I would probably stay on the progesterone until after the u/s, which is just a little over a week away. You've done it this long, you can do it for another week, right? :)

  • Congrats !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Woohoo great beta!!

    I'd keep taking it twice a day until I saw a HB, just so I wouldn't worry.

  • Hooray!  I had a good feeling about this beta for you.  I'd probably stay on the endometrin if you feel nervous coming off.

    Congrats! 

    I am not sure about the endometrin because I was always on PIO, and I stayed at the same dose until 11 weeks.

    So happy for you!

    congratulations!!

    i had a similar experience as kimarino13 w/PIO until 10 weeks, but i did do endometrin, as well.

    you could do a taper, in that you could go every other day for a while w/the 2x/day dosing and then 1x/day on the off days. that way when they tell you to go off all together you can go straight to the 1x/day and then to none.

    that said, your doctor should know what is safe and i wouldn't have a problem following their advice, if it were me.

  • Congrats!  If it were me, I would stay on it for peace of mind.  At least until the u/s.
  • Woo hoo!!!!! That is awesome news! Congrats!!! I was taking Endometrin 3x per day, and with my first beta my nurse told me to drop to 2x per day and I didn't hesitate. (Oh, and my RE doesn't even check progesterone levels - said they give us so much it's not necessary.)
  • Awesome news...Congrats!!!

    I would probably still do them 2x's a day until the U/S...Good Luck!!
