When To Stop Estrogen Patches??

[loveforanother]

We saw a HB today !!! This has been a real battle-beta hell and I am afraid to stop ANY meds. My Doc says to stop the estrogen because we saw the HB and I want to know if anyone else has stopped right after seeing HB?

Thanks
Karen

It's so scary to reduce support drugs once we've come so far. I'd also like to know the answer to your concern about E2 patches. My numbers have been strong, but past losses still haunt us which is sad. I'd gladly keep using the patch and PIO as long as possible if it could only help get me through the early critical stages of pg with added support.
