Afraid to stop Prometrium this week!

I am suppose to stop taking it this week, but I have missed doses along the way 4x's a day was hard to manage, so I think I am going to finish whatever I have left. But the thought of stopping it scares the crap out of me. I wish they would test my prog levels before they took me off of it. I'm just scared my body isn't going to do what it's suppose to. I will be happy to be done with those yucky suppositories though!

    4x's a day is a lot!  I was taking Endometrin 2x's a day.  The RE told me to continue until 10 weeks but I ran out early.  I decided not to freak out about it.  I think your body will do what it's supposed to!

    It's terrifying isn't it?? You'll be okay though. You're body has been making it's own progesterone for a while now.

    After I got over the fear, it was nice to feel like a normal pregnant lady.

    I stopped taking Endometrin at around  7wks.  I was getting irritated by it and was spotting and RE said to stop. He said that earlier in his career he felt patients needed to be on it longer, but now he's found research that proves it doesn't make a big difference for very long after BFP because your body starts making enough progestrone.  I have been fine - I was worried too, but once I stopped taking it I felt much more comforable.

    I was scared to death to stop my meds.  RE had me stop after my 2nd beta.  I was scared to death....but figured that she knew that my levels looked great and wouldn't steer me down the wrong path.

    Your body is making plenty on it's own by this point and you should be fine.  But, I do know that it's nerve wracking....like so many other things with a pregnancy after IF!
