The Best Way to Wean Off IVF Meds

The Best Way to Wean Off IVF Meds

IVF clinic in Hyderabad can do the needful as far as IVF procedure is concerned. Patients can also visit the top 10 IVF clinics in Hyderabad for detailed information.

Couples are thrilled when IVF works and the woman gets pregnant. Naturally, couples are curious as to know when can meds be stopped? To start it is better not to stop completely at once; rather weaning is better. Tapering the IVF drugs, at the right time and in the right manner is indeed critical.

It is better to get complete information about the weaning of drugs as far as IVF is concerned about visiting the IVF clinic in Hyderabad.

How to wean?

How does the weaning process begin? Is a question that arises in the patient’s mind.

Most IVF patients do take progesterone after embryo transfer. In case the patient has had donor eggs donor embryos or a FET, then the patient will be taking estrogen as well. The pregnancy test, two weeks after the transfer, is positive. It is advisable to keep taking the meds. It is way too early at this point to start weaning. Some patients, unfortunately, tend to make this mistake. In fact, the top 10 IVF clinics in Hyderabad can guide well.

When is the best time to wean? Eight weeks it appears so. No sooner and of course no later. A few years ago, fertility patients happened to be routinely instructed to rather start their weaning at 11 weeks and also stop at 12 weeks. But newer research does indicate the earlier so it is also better. The body is indeed producing sufficient progesterone as well as estrogen itself by eight weeks, and probably earlier. Weaning from that point is no doubt the optimal way to transition from synthetic to natural hormonal support.

When we say eight weeks, it implies being eight weeks pregnant. Not week 8, or even the eighth week of pregnancy. Those terms are indeed very confusing. But the phrase eight weeks pregnant is clearer for IVF patients. Here’s why? If a person has had a day-five transfer, count back about five days. On that day, a person is officially two weeks pregnant. This is prior to one’s transfer. A week later, the woman is three weeks pregnant. From there, counting to eight weeks pregnant is rather easy.

Every IVF patient is no doubt different. IVF clinic in Hyderabad caters to the specific needs of the patient. Talking to the fertility clinic about how and when to wean does help. But weaning from eight weeks pregnant does mean halving one’s medication from eight weeks as well as stopping altogether at nine. So if a person is taking 8 mg of estrogen as well as 800 mg of progesterone daily, the person can reduce to 4 mg + 400 mg at eight weeks and then stop all meds a week later.

The same seven-day weaning timeline does apply to extras such as Prednisolone as well as low-dose aspirin. Few studies do claim that taking baby aspirin for longer may benefit certain patients.) If you’re taking a stronger blood thinner such as Clexane, then a person can stop at nine weeks without reducing, unless and until the patient has had a hematological issue that does require the patient to keep taking it. It is better to ensure that precise drug weaning advice is taken

from IVF clinic in Hyderabad. It is easy to worry about weaning oneself off IVF drugs. But the science does show that reducing one’s medication from eight weeks is rather safe. It is a good idea to have a progesterone blood test done on the same day as the HCG pregnancy test if a person so desires and a weekly test for a relaxed mind. But the high-dose progesterone format that a person is taking, plus the estrogen intake, will almost certainly be working fine. A safe, as well as stress-free weaning process, can begin.

The top 10 IVF clinics in Hyderabad will do the needful. It is worth visiting them for a detailed consultation.
