I got an email today from the nurse (which was really hard to understand, so I had to call them anyway).
1) Estrace - 1x/day for 4 days (I'm now taking 2/day), then stop
2) Vivelle - reduce by one, every other day (I'm now taking 4 every other day), then stop
3) Endometrin - 2x/day for 4 days, then 1x/day for 4 days, then stop (I'm now taking 3x/day)
Then they said, let us know when the baby is born. No more monitoring of levels!!! WHAT? That freaks me out to no end. The nurse said, that Dr. G says I'm far along enough and he does this all the time and that it's fine. FYI, my E2 is at 2000something (supposed to be ~500) and progesterone is at 36 (>20). I'll be off of all the drugs 2 days before I'm 10 weeks along.
Since I see my ob/gyn on Tuesday, I may ask her to check the levels, so I'm sure they'll be taking my blood anyway.
Anyone who has had experience weaning, please reassure me!!! I feel like they just ripped off my training wheels and are saying, "Good luck in the Tour de France -- let us know if you finish the race!"
Hmm, they still had be check my levels everytime I weaned off something which was a pain in the arse, because I had to drive 2 hours roundtrip everytime I did a lab. My labs always came back normal though. I weaned off at 11 weeks, but probably could have at 10. Your progesterone levels were higher than mine were, so you are probably good to go!
ReplyDeleteI have to start weaning but I can tell you your numbers are way, way higher than mine so I am sure you are fine.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that it too would freak me out. Good luck!
