Tapering endometrin after BFP?

[Anonymous]

Hi- after a second positive beta, my SGF nurse advises I can switch from endometrin 3x/day to 2x/day for the next however many weeks. From what I have read on other forums, it seems like people continue the same dosage up until 8-10 weeks and then do a cold stop. Has anyone else tapered their endometrin/progesterone support this way? It makes me a little nervous. Thanks!

I think I tapered that way too. Don’t worry!

I was at CCRM and I tapered starting at 8 weeks before finally going off of it at 10 weeks.

From what I recall, 8 weeks is when the placenta has most definitely taken over the necessary hormone production, although they think it may actually happen a bit before that. No one really knows.

I had some spotting as I started to taper and was worried it was related, but RE said at 8 weeks, my body was definitely doing this on my own.

Not sure how I'd feel about tapering after 2nd beta...

I think that’s too soon to taper. Can you email your RE?

It seems too soon to taper to me too. I’m at Shady Grove and all communications goes through the nurse. I never really see the RE..... if I could ask her directly, I would.

This is OP. I spoke with my RE and she said if I’m more comfortable, we can keep the three doses/day until after the ultrasound if I prefer. That does make me feel more comfortable so I am going to do that!!
