Success after IF

Anyone stop progesterone and estrogen at 9 weeks?

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?

Re: Anyone stop progesterone and estrogen at 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 stopped at 9w6d (10w) cold turkey.  The clinic measured my levels 24 hours later and they were fine. I had no problems at all.  GL!

  • 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. 
  • Yes, I stopped at the end of my 9th week.

  • 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.

  • Congrats on this milestone!  I got to stop PIO and estrace @ 8 weeks and all is still well.  Good luck!
  • 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 :)
