    Meds after ivf - can anyone help?

    Hi, so we've recently had our bfp from 3rd ivf I'm on a lot of meds that were prescribed prior to ET and told to stay on them for first few weeks of pg. My fs is on hols since my bfp so I haven't had a chance to ask him some questions about meds I'm on as I've read some of them are unsafe in pg.
    I'm on
    Clexane
    Prednisone
    Feldine
    Aspirin
    Oestrodial
    Ralovera
    Just wondering if any of you ladies have taken these after ivf and your experience?

    Haven't been on these specifically. But it looks like a very specific list of drugs for possible immune/implantation issues so you need to stay on them until your baby is well and truly settled in. Wait for your FS to get back and talk to him/her.

    I agree you need to stay on them. I was on clexane and progesterone after my ivf transfer. That cycle didn't work, and the following month I got a natural BFP and as soon as I got it my FS put me on clexane and progesterone again as I had some blood clotting factors.
    Congrats on your bfp and just keep doing what you are doing xx

    Thanks Joeve. Yeah I'm only concerned about the Feldene and Prednisone as they're Cat C & D and deemed unsafe in pregnancy. Ill call my locum fs on Monday and double check. Thanks for your help x

    Just wondering how the original poster is going on these drugs?
    It sounds like you are/were cycling with the infamous 'wazza' in brisbane? - I am currently ecovering from EPU yesterday and have just started on the same regime... How long are you on them for?

    Hi Blinky

    I'm currently 10 wks and I start weaning at 11 weeks up to 12 weeks. He told me to stop Feldene at 7 wks. Good luck with your cycle
