WWYD? (re:meds)

in Success after IF

so I'm calling it, FET 2.0 is a bust. (I'm 8dp6dt with NO signs of life or 2nd lines. None.)  Drinks on me tonite ladies, I'm throwing one HELLUVA HAPPY HOUR!

RE insists on betas, of course. They originally said I could bump from their next mon/wed plan to MY tues/thurs plan, so I could get "AWESOME NEWS!!!" on 'me bday. What a crock THAT notion ended up being. het het.

So I make the lab for mon am.

Front desk girl calls back and says "nope, your sheet says tues/thurs."  Yeh, I know, *I* made that change.  "Well, that's what we have to do, even though you say things are negative."  OHFORFECKSAKE.

So now I'm expected to stay on these fecking hormones (estrace AND 2 kinds of P4)  until THURSDAY???!!!!!!

Helltotheno.

What would you take? Or not? I'm not pretending for a moment that something could still happen, I just don't want to piss off Dr. Sassy. (who's OOT, btw)

While I realize this is pretty chump stuff in the game of life right now, it's what my life revolves around, and I'm sick sick sick of it.

ps - Hemo Doc #1 just called me back with the latest round of blood tests... yeh.... they're normal.  I have no words. Wait, I have four...

I DO NOT BLEED !!!!!

    I had the same issue when FET#2 was a BFN.  I was told to continue taking the meds until beta.  I took the "easy" ones- and only if I felt like it.  I took only half to a quarter of the amount of progesterone I was supposed to take...it actually worked out though because I ended up with AF by the time beta day came and I was able to get betas in as well as day 2 blood work and u/s.  This really helped my mind because I was in at that appointment thinking, I am supposed to be here bleeding because I am doing my day 2 b/w and u/s.  I knew it was over, so I took matters into my own hands. 

    This is probably not the right answer to tell you, but this is what I did.

    I'm sorry my friend.  This sucks really bad.  Have you thought any more about this next cycle and doing it the way I suggest?  Like coming off of EVERYTHING.  I mean everything.  Why the hell not?  Just do one more FET with nada in your system.  Pretend your blood flows like a river.  Pretend your body doesn't attack anything but a virus.  Just put those babies in there with nothing on board.  I don't know...I just wonder what would happen.

    I know it sucks but personally I would keep taking it until the beta... but that's just me.  I always have a small amount of hope left until that beta and would be too nervous to mess with anything.

    Sorry :(

    I'd love to, but Sassy wasn't even open to a modified "natural" FET. And since we're under "warranty" I seriously doubt he'd even reconsider it. I'm going to email you something in a sec...

    ps - love the idea about having me ready for cd3 bloodwork at my second beta. Score!

    Ok- I'll be looking for it.  But I didn't mean off of FET meds.  I don't even know what a natural FET entails.  I was just thinking about getting off of everything.  Your prednisone dose is probably too high to wean quickly, but I just meant get off of all of the other stuff you are doing.  Just you, those embies and some estrogen and progesterone.  Is this possible even?  Are you normally on any of these meds for other medical reasons??

    Damn!  That just sucks and I am very sorry!   I am always jealous of those who have the ability to take their own betas or have a friend who can.  I guess you "should" stay on the meds...just in case (although that seems silly).  That is a hard call, but believe me, I understand about this stuff being what your life revolves around.  (((HUGS))))
