I get to stop the supps and the patches tomorrow! Woohoo! Although 9 weeks seems a bit early to me. I've repeatedly asked my RE if it's too soon and he assures me it's fine. Scary, though! Anyone else stop around 9 weeks?
Hi Kelly- My RE also told me to stop the supps at 9 weeks, but it makes me nervous too, so I think I am going to finish out my script- I have another 14.

I was told by my RE (shady grove) to stop estrogen and progesterone both at 8 weeks, but I only stopped the estrogen at 8 wks and continued with the progesterone until week 12 which my OB said was fine.
My RE instructed me to stop at 9 weeks 2 days, as in the 9th-10th week your placenta takes over and is producing plenty of progesterone.
I however stayed on them until 12 weeks just to ease my mind.

Hi there- My RE had me stop my PIO injections and estrace pills at 9 weeks exactly. But at that point he had me switch to projesterone suppositories for the nest three weeks, or until 12 weeks.
But I'm sure it's fine, as others have had similar experiences to you! Congrats
