I am on del estrogen shots every 3 days and PIO shots every day. My dr is having me stop the day I turn 10 weeks. They said by then the placenta has fully taken over and no need for the meds then. They said I could stop even earlier but they like going until 10 weeks just to be safe.
Curious about others because I see a lot of people go until 12 weeks I think.
Hi! My last day was 9+6, so at exactly 10 weeks I stopped with both. Both my clinics (I went to get treatment in Denmark, and had all my check-ups in Norway...legal issue) said that's the way it is done as indeed placenta is taking over. They also told me that with a frozen cycle it is just a precaution as basically I had ovulated so my ovaries were doing their jobs. (As all my prior tests have been great levels) Today I'm 11+1 and saw full action on my us at 10+6. I was worried too, yet over the moon to stop taking them
Today, at 10 weeks, is my last day for PIO shots, Crinone and estrace! Like you, I'm concerned about stopping, but our REs know best, right? They are the experts and do this all the time. I asked my midwife yesterday about the placenta and she said it should be taking over now. I still have two boxes of crinone left, so I'm thinking about continuing it for another week or so but stopping the PIO shots and estrace.
I was on estrogen patches, which they had me stop right when I got my BFP. I did PIO until 10 weeks. I felt nervous too but heard from others on here who also stopped at 10 weeks.
I stopped estradiol and estrace after my 3rd beta. I believed I stopped PIO at 8 weeks. I asked to remain on crinone for an additional week because I was nervous to just stop everything.
I'm an outlier. I stopped estrogen patches AND crinone by 6 weeks. I questioned my RE and they assured me they knew what they were doing. I was nervous but my progesterone level was 190 or so, so I stopped. I guess they did know what they were talking about. Both my little babes hung around. I took Prometrium until 13 weeks with my clomid cycle (1st pregnancy), so it surprised me - but my lining was also ultra-thin after clomid.
