IVF with Prednisone/Lovenox/Baby Aspirin, when to stop meds?
We are 8w5d pregnant now. Our RE recommended Lovenox/Prednisone/Baby Aspirin. How do you know when it's safe to stop each med? Nurse said it's usually through 12 weeks. But I have seen other people say online they took Lovenox until 36 weeks. Since this protocol worked, I'm scared to stop any of them. Thanks.
Hi sobechicky,
How many attempts you have had before this successful one? And did you go for IUI, IVF or it was natural?
What dose of prednisone, lovenox, apirin did you take throughout?
Do you have any autoimmune issues? Sorry for so many queries but I have also started prednisone after my latest Fet. I have hashimotos.

Hi there,
Any drug is prescribed by a doctor based on the indications and potential side effects expected if any. Usually Prednisolone is no longer used than the first pregnancy test. The heparin, aspirin are usually continued till your 10 weeks gestation is reached. But the exact treatment can be suggested only by your treating infertility expert since she knows best about your medical history. This is merely an advice and not a substitute for clinical examination. Keep me posted with more queries.
Best luck and regards!
