Is that weird? Maybe I'm wrong. It's been so long now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneestradiol-use-after-beta#post-2456145 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 03:44:46 +0000 jaguar 2456145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For this medicated FET (early positive here) I'm told to stay on E2 and P4 until 12 weeks. x</p> <p>Fresh cycles you shouldn't need additional support (though I stayed on progesterone for 12 weeks to be safe) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneestradiol-use-after-beta#post-2455825 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 19:16:32 +0000 bloved 2455825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For both my fresh and frozen transfers I stayed in progesterone for 10-12 weeks. My estrace I think I stopped after the first ultrasound each time (around 6 weeks).</p> <p>Eta- that seems like an awesome progesterone number! Even supplemented mine was only ever in the 30s or so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneestradiol-use-after-beta#post-2455784 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 18:35:00 +0000 BSB 2455784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: Oh, your response reminds me. I did have some SCH bleeding at 8 weeks so my RE told me to increase my PIO injections to twice a day. It was fun. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneestradiol-use-after-beta#post-2455740 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 17:42:21 +0000 agold 2455740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amorini: My doctor said that placenta will have already taken over by the time I stop, so 10 weeks seems about on par with what I've been told. </p> <p>I don't know if a fresh vs. FET cycle would have made a difference with what I was on, except that I do know fresh cycle would have only required one PIO shot a day, whereas FET required two PIOs a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneestradiol-use-after-beta#post-2455738 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 17:39:04 +0000 TeamJH 2455738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks ladies for all your responses! I wonder if it's because I conceived during a fresh cycle vs FET, like how @agold mentioned?</p> <p>At 11dp5dt, my estradiol was 1835 and progresterone was over 120. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneestradiol-use-after-beta#post-2455730 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 17:33:00 +0000 Amorini 2455730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TeamJH: I wonder if it matters that some of us here did medicated FETs. I know for myself, I had Lupron suppression with BCPs before the FET so there was no way my ovaries were producing anything to support the embies. Maybe it is different for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneestradiol-use-after-beta#post-2455725 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 17:30:34 +0000 Amorini 2455725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: You're right, they are all so different!</p> <p>My lead RE says until 9 weeks, also when I graduate from the RE to the OBGYN. That just seems soooo soon and also the other RE who I sometimes consult with on gray areas thinks that 10 weeks is best because that is when the placenta takes over ... so I am finagling enough of both (Estrace and Crinone) until I'm 10 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneestradiol-use-after-beta#post-2455709 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 17:20:36 +0000 agold 2455709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am on PIO and estrogen injections until tomorrow(!!) - which will be about the 12.5 week mark for me. My RE keeps me on it all the entire time I'm with him. The timing he uses is based upon when he says the placenta takes over for itself. But all doctors do all IVF things differently so I couldn't say that one way is more right over another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneestradiol-use-after-beta#post-2455708 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 17:19:29 +0000 Mrs. Pinky 2455708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm to stop at 10 weeks (PIO and del estrogen injections). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneestradiol-use-after-beta#post-2455702 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 17:16:26 +0000 BSB 2455702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on PIO until 11 weeks. I forget when I stopped putting the estrace pills vaginally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesteroneestradiol-use-after-beta#post-2455699 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 17:12:37 +0000 TeamJH 2455699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey ladies, had a quick question- how long were you on Endometrin (progesterone) and Estrace (estradiol) after a beta? I had my 2nd beta at 11dp5dt, and my doctor told me to stop both medications. I was happy to stop both at first, but now I'm a little worried since it seems a lot earlier than most ladies here on the boards. Does anyone know what the estrogen and progesterone lab levels should be before we should stop the meds? A little nervous since I'm still in the early stages of the pregnancy and want to make sure my embryo has all the cushioning/support needed. </p>
