Success after IF

Prometrium supp.

If you had an IUI and you took Prometrium..did you stop at 9 weeks? My doctor said to stop them at 9 weeks, which I am today....and BOY am I happy about that!! I hated those things, they made me so sore and gross feeling. But, at the same time I am worried to stop.....does that makes sense?

Re: Prometrium supp.

  • Yep it makes total sense that you're worried!  I stopped progesterone around the same time...your body is producing what it needs now.

  • I don't have an answer but I wanted to say HI!! Where've you been, girl?? You look fantastic. :)
  • I am still on mine, and I'm at 8 weeks.  Glad to hear that I could be done with them next week!?!? 
  • I think I stopped endometrin around 10 weeks or so, so sounds about right. If you're really nervous and have some left, you could always wean yourself. I was taking it three times a day, so when I got the OK to stop, I went to twice a day, then once a day until I completely ran out. I was glad to be done with it!

  • I got the ok to stop at 12 weeks but stayed on until 15 weeks.  I was too paranoid!  Plus my RE and OB both said that too much could never hurt me or baby, so why not?  And those pills were SO freakin expensive that I wanted my money worth - LOL
    But my highest level ever was like 9, so maybe I was a different case...

  • Ok thanks girls!! I will call the nurse just to make sure..I have a few more left...so we'll see.:)
  • My RE stopped mine at 7 weeks and I felt the same way - relieved and worried.  Just remember that they wouldn't tell you to stop if they didn't think it was "safe" to do so and be glad you're done with that ickiness! 
  • With DS, I stopped at 9 weeks and it was heaven!  With #2, my RE changed their policy and wanted everyone to stay on until 10 weeks so I just stopped last Thursday and wow - was I happy!

    Totally normal to be nervous!
