Hi ladies I finally got my BFP after years of TTC. First attempt at IFV was successful. Now I am 6 weeks and my RE wants me to stay on endrometrium (progesterone) and estrace (estrogen) until my second trimester. I'm 100% OOP so these meds are 1,000 a month I can't afford. At what point can I move on like a normal pregnancy?
I was taken off my meds at 6 weeks. It really does depend on blood work. My progesterone level was 190+ so my RE felt confident in taking me off the meds.
*** Child & current pregnancy mentioned ***
Me - 41 (PCOS), Hubby - 43 (healthy)
7/2013 - Sweet baby girl born (Clomid + TI)
3/2014 - TTC #2, return to RE 7/2014
12/2015: IVF #1 transferred two great looking embryos - BFP!
First ultrasound: TWO beautiful little heartbeats!!
Harmony: negative; level 2: babies look great and are boy/girl!
Hi gals! Thanks for the info and advice. I went in yesterday (I don't remember what my levels were) and they have cut my doses in half. I go back in 3 weeks (I'm 6w5d) and they will wean me off completely. Thanks to @Piperella she gave me a great tip - I reached out to my OBYGN and my insurance covers it now that it's to maintain a pregnancy instead of IVF treatment.
