If you were on Vivelle dots after IVF...

When did you get the OK to stop them? ?

My nurse called today to tell me to cut my PIO to 1cc instead of 1 1/2 (YAY!)...and I'm pretty sure she said to stop my patches. ?Does this sound right? ?I'm totally second guessing myself though because she called while I was in the middle of a class and just had a lot of stuff on my mind. ?I can't imagine I'd totally make up that I can stop them though. ?I didn't even have a chance to ask for my levels (she called during my most unruly class so I can't leave them while I'm in the hall for long). ?

I called the message system - so hopefully someone will get back to me....but what was your situation? And what would you do if you were me and the nurse never called you back tonight? ?

?For example - if I don't hear back tonight, should I go with what I'm almost totally certain she said and take them both off or wait until the AM for a call back. ?Would 18 hours make that big of a difference??

Thanks!?

    My IVF coordinator said I will most likely quit after my first ultrasound tomorrow. I think she said they want to confirm a heartbeat and then I can be done.  Not 100% sure about that, but I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

    That sounds right - I just had to wait over the weekend for my lab results since they submitted all my pre-natal work with everything else.

    I just HATE second guessing myself!

    I stopped pretty early.  I think it was after my 1st u/s when we saw the h/b.  I was 6w1d.

    The day of my first u/s (6w6d) I was ok'd to stop them, but I had just put on a new patch that morning.  I left the patch on for the days that remained in the schedule I had been on.

    I weaned from my patches during week 11.  Honestly, I think it was probably longer than most people go on them - I was just super paranoid.

    I seem to remember being told I could stop the Vivelle after my second beta blood draw.  They tested my estrogen level and it was fine, so I was clear.  You're probably fine.  If it'll make you feel better, you can keep it on 'til the morning.  It won't hurt anything.

    My nurse told me probably around week 8.

    Oh man Sara I am so sorry but I am not exactly sure when Dr. Neal let me stop the Vivelle dots. I think it depends on your bloodwork - if things looked good, they may let you stop. I know that they weren't satisfied with my estrogen levels (and at the 7dp3dt blood draw, they told me later that they thought I wasn't pregnant because my estrogen was so low) but I think I was on them for awhile.
