IVFers - when did you stop progesterone?

My doctor wants me to stop one method this week (on PIO and suppositories) and stop the other method around 8 weeks.  I feel like that's too early.  Thanks!
After 2 years and 6 IUIs, we did it with IVF w/ ICSI!
BFP with no treatment!

    I stopped PIO at 6 weeks then was on suppositories until 10 weeks.  I was soooo happy to stop the progesterone. I know it is nerve wracking to stop but I am sure if your doctor thinks you are safe stopping at 8 weeks I would trust him/her.

    I cut my dose in half (PIO) around 7w5d and then was off totally at 8w2d.

    I stopped PIO the day I got my BFP (and started suppositories).  I stopped the supps at 10 weeks.  Did not miss either for a second ; )  However, I just felt like if I started spotting afterwards I'd go back on them, so I wasn't worried.

    Supposedly the placenta is making more than enough P4 by 8 weeks so you really don't even need it after that.

    Good luck!!

    I think I stopped PIO around 6 or 7 weeks and then prog around 10 or so.  I was nervous about stopping, but I realized that he wouldnt tell me to stop them if my levels were'nt high enough on their own.

    I've been on prog sups since my er. I will continue them (now 1x day) until I am 9wk and then we will retest. I've been told I may need to go back on them which is fine w/ me.
