  • My progesterone was 5.64 the first time it was taken. I was on an oral supplement 3x day and a suppository 3x a day. They weaned me around 11 weeks.
  • I did IVF both times so I was on it with my singleton until second tri but only with the twins until 6 weeks because my level was 324 when tested at that time.

  • I did PIO until this week (12 weeks). I actually started on suppositories but I was switched to PIO week 5 due to a SCH that bled from weeks 5-7.

    IUIs #4-6 (injects) = 3 BFNs
    IVF #1 = BFN
    FET #1 = BFN
    FET #2 = BFN
    IVF #2 = BFP, b/g twins lost at 20w due to partial abruption/PPROM

  • I've been told to stop taking my PIO at 12 weeks. Honestly, I can't wait! :P

  • 12weeks..at that point the placenta starts making it on its own.
  • They took me off at 14 weeks, the NP told me my doctor was particularly conservative with that.  Ask me how much I hated using it.  A LOT.  It really killed the romance standing in the bathroom yelling "hey are we gonna have sex tonight or should I put this stupid cream in now?"  I probably could've figured a better method of ascertaining that information...

  • I was taken off progesterone at 10 weeks.
  • I was taken off between 12-13 weeks. We saw the placenta on the ultrasound & my levels were up to 27.
  • I was on PIO until I was 11 weeks, I was nervous to stop (even though I was already sore and had knots in backside....that I still have by the way). I had one more ultrasound and bloodwork at 12 weeks and then was released from RE to OB.
    Me: 32, DH: 34.
