Hi all-graduated today to the regular OB. No more weekly us and bw for me. RE said to stop PIO next Wednesday, but I'll only be 8+5. What's the earliest you stopped? I'm a little concerned, it thought most women take it up to wks 10-12?

    Congrats on your graduation! Our RE planned to have me stop pio at 10w (we went to 12w due to bleeding issues).
    Did you ask why they are taking you off so early? Perhaps your numbers were really great without the progesterone and they just had you on it as an extra precaution.

    My RE said PIO doesn't hurt those who don't need it and that's why the prescribe it. But for those that don't need it and pregnancies are progressing normally 8 weeks is fine to stop. I ended up using the rest of my vial into 9 weeks I think!

    I actually stopped at 7w2d. My RE stops everyone whose blood levels are fine and whose LO has a strong HB at 7 weeks. Best wishes to you!

    My RE wanted to stop at 8 weeks. I asked if I could go to 12 weeks. He said that he thought I was crazy to want to, but that I could if I wanted.

    I stopped at 10 weeks. I am planning to have a blood check done in couple week to see if my body is producing enough on its own. Let's see how it goes. All the best to u.

    Thanks all. I stopped a week ago and am doing well (I think!). Glad to be off the PIO, but there was some comfort in the nightly ritual. Hoping everything is going well.
