Weaning estrogen and progesterone

Post by Wishingandhoping »

Hello everyone! I have a quick question for you all. I had my FET on 7/21, and am pregnant with twins :D My RE is starting to wean me off of estrogen and progesterone. I've started decreasing my estrogen patches, and will be done with them by 9 weeks. My question is, when did you start weaning estrogen and progesterone after FET? They are my safety blanket right now, so I'm nervous! Thanks!

With my fresh cycle, 8 weeks. No weaning, they just had me stop. With this fet, we'll see. I'm getting my levels tested this morning, and I'll let you know what they tell me!

my cycle wasn't frozen but was comparable since we did donor egg. I stopped everything around 8 weeks.
