Yes--was supposed to stop at 10 weeks, but I had extra meds and weaned the dose down ego make it to 11 weeks.
If you wouldn't be fine, your doctor wouldn't recommend it. |

| Yeah, I'm such a rebel. (Actually I told her that was my plan--she laughed and said it was fine.) |

| Was this for an FET? My RE has me stopping at 11 weeks for the FET but taper started at 9 weeks. Is 11 weeks early to stop for FET? |

I stopped with my FET at 10 weeks. Was completely nervous, but so far so good. Still cautiously expecting and 21 weeks 6 days.

| yeah, I stopped about 11 weeks, too. Not much happened. I expected nood swings, etc. But nothing - except things just got easier and I started to feel like a "real" pregnant person, not an IVF person. |

| Did any of your RE's test your bloodwork after you stopped or you just stopped with no follow up? Did you taper to 10/11 weeks or just stop cold turkey? |

| PP, this is OP. I feel less like a real pregnant person is the weird thing- my nausea has basically stopped this week, so I feel LESS pregnant, which concerns me. |

I went off all the meds at 11 weeks also. It did feel a little scary to sudden be flying without a net but it was fine.
It gets weirder (at least did for me) when you graduate to routine obstetric care and don't get all the ultrasounds and constant scrutiny - I felt suddenly deprived of all the support and info! Good luck to you OP. |

| I was nervous and also stopped at 10 weeks as my RE directed but I requested labs and they were happy to run things to be sure all was ok. |

| When did you get the labs run??? |

I had them run right before I stopped meds and then a few days after to be sure my body was producing enough on its own. |
