Coming off Prometrium

in Pregnant after IF
Hi ladies!
I have been on prometrium since a few days after O as a precaution due to my loss in February. I saw my RE a couple weeks ago and he said I don't need to be on it and I can go off. I now have only a few pills left and it is very expensive so I am thinking of stopping. I did not ask though if I should stop cold-turkey or if I wean off of it? I take 200mg vaginally 2x per day. Anyone know what to do?

    How far along are you? My RE instructed me to stop all meds at 10 weeks, cold turkey. He said the placenta will produce all the estrogen and progesterone the baby needs at that point. If you saw him a couple weeks ago and he said you could stop then, then you should be okay to stop now. But he should have given you explicit instructions!

    TTC #1 since 2011

    Me: 36, anovulatory PCOS; DH: 34, fine

    I was weaned off, but at 14weeks. Weaning eases the mind, methinks.
