Those who stopped progesterone at 12w

in Pregnant after a Loss

Did everything turn out ok? I'm so scared to stop taking it...I know you can't "help" the placenta, but I've just tapered down from 2x a day to 1x a day, and in 2 weeks, I totally stop my prog suppositories and am scared.

Pls make me feel better.  Scared 2

    My RE made me stop progesterone at 9 weeks when he confirmed the placenta on u/s with my first.

    I was TERRIFIED.

    If I could have found a dealer on the street to sell it to me illegally I would have bought it behind my doctor's backs.  That's how scared I was. 

    He's now 3.5 and totally healthy.

    You really don't need it anymore and may find that you feel better once you're off it! 

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.

    My situation was a bit different, as I was on the progesterone injections, due to IVF, but never the less I was scared $hitless to stop them because I was afraid of negative impact.... I was doing them up until 12 weeks.  Actually, my RE told me to stop at 10 weeks and I continued on until I finished my supply.  Everything turned out fine for me :)

    I stopped at about 14 weeks (I just figured I'd use up the prescription) and so far so good!
