Pregnant after IF

When you stopped your meds, such as PIO, estrace, crinone

Did you double check with the RE if you had already graduated? I have one freaking week, 6 days to be exact left of PIO. I see my MW this Friday and got released from the RE after my 7wk. u/s and haven't been back to the fertility clinic since 5 weeks. Do I just stop everything when they initially said or should I call? I assume they don't check anything so I was thinking no. If they told me to continue the PIO like they changed their mind on the Crinone I think I'd seriously cry.

  • I wasn't released until off everything and they monitored with b/w.
  • hmmm...well i was released yesterday and was switched to Crinone for the next 5 weeks...but I assume my OB will agree with this plan?? ha! I HOPE so though! For you too!

    my thought is your MW may have her own plan/ideas? Ok I'm rambling.

  • I was taken off of PIO after my second beta and progesterone check.  I was taken off the suppository a week later when my progesterone was still through the roof.

    I am surprised they still have you on it.  Wasn't your progesterone super high too?

  • I stopped estrace and PIO at about 9w.  They cut me down at 8wk.  They reduced my doses and did b/w to check levels.  Then when I was released at 9w they did the same thing to take me off totally.

    Oh yes. First one was 230, second one was 295, and I didn't get the value of the 3rd because the clinic didn't give me one, just that it was over 40.

    Def. high! I am so surprised they kept you on both.  By now the babies placenta def. should have taken over.  I hope you get to at least end the PIO soon hon!

  • I had my last official scan on Friday and they told me then to stop taking my endometrin and estrace yesterday and today and to come back on Monday for bw to check the levels and if everything checked out that they would release me at that time.  They also told me to make an appt with my OB for this or next Friday.

  • I am a few days ahead of you :) I am stopping estrace, PIO and delestrogen on Wednesday when I reach 10w! (Not sure if that includes Wednesday or if Tuesday is my last day?) I have to continue the crinone until 12w- blah! I am kind of nervous to stop taking anything though!! I am going in tomorrow to my OB, so I will ask them about re-checking levels tomorrow.
