Miscarriage after stopping IVF meds

I just completed my final dose of progesterone and estrogen yesterday. The meds almost felt like a safe blanket for me, and I’m terrified that my body might not be able to keep my levels where they need to be… does anyone know the chance is miscarriage at 11 weeks 6 days when stopping IVF meds? We’ve seen and heard the heartbeat and baby is measuring on track, I’m just really scared.

I was exactly the same and I was really worried but once the baby has a heartbeat, they’re developed past the riskiest stage. Try not to worrry too much, I did go for a couple of extra scans in the early days as I was worried so maybe do that if you’re concerned? I’m 22 weeks now with my first transfer and I stopped meds at 10 weeks 🤞🤞 good luck!!

I stopped cold turkey at 10w with both my successful full term pregnancies.

I felt the same way but trusted my doctor and so far all is well! The reason they have you stop around now is the placenta takes over hormone production so your body will no longer be producing those hormones anyway. You got this!

I totally get how your feeling. I felt the same way. I stopped around 12 weeks. The doctor explains that is when the placenta takes over creating the hormones needed to hold the pregnancy. I’ll be 25 weeks tomorrow with my ivf baby.

I was scared as well (I think it’s common feeling) and stopped mine at 11 weeks and I am now 18w2d and baby is continuing to grow well.

Is your doctor tracking your levels? It’s super nerve wracking but what helped me was the process my doctor put in place. We slowly weened off and tracked my levels to make sure everything was fine.

I just want my son to know that I was the only one that showed up everyday since the beginning while his dad was being avoidant, inconsistent, fcking off, doing the bare minimum and blaming "being the provider" as an excuse for all of his behaviors and gets the most praised for it. 😣
I'm also not keeping him away from no one as his other side of the family can't make the effort to come and see my son since he's been born, give any gifts, or check up on either him or I. Rant of the morning

Can someone help me? Please read 😭💔

I'm looking for someone to help me decifer some awful news that I received from the Dr's. I had a fit test that came back positive for blood in my poo. It was 15

They wanted a repeat test and it came back four times higher than the previous result last week, it's now 61.

I have a horrible feeling I know what the cause is. I've experienced a lot of weight loss and vomiting these past few months. I've got an urgent appointment with my Dr next week but I can't wait that long. Can someone eitheir be honest with me (I know there's lots of medical professionals on here, myself included) or reassure me. I'm in peices rn 😭💔

I’m so confused! Please help

Yes I am delulu but I can see a very faint line in all of these tests apart from the bottom one. But these were taken between 8-11dpo & no change. I think I’m probably not pregnant but why are they positive?! All lines were apparent within the timeframe.
I had a mmc in January & have had one period since.
Please help!
