Pregnant after a Loss

Progesterone supplements

If you took them - did you automatically get off them after 12 weeks?  Or is there ever a reason to continue?

 

Re: Progesterone supplements

  • I took them and stopped at 13w3d (when they ran out).  My doc told me I could stop at 12 weeks, but told me that it wouldn't hurt anything if I took them longer.

    I know that some people do progesterone later in pregnancy also, but as far as I know, it's not very common.

  • I stopped around 12w. My doctor said the placenta was taking over so it wasn't necessary to continue.

    Ditto! I was told to stop at 12 weeks because your placenta will totally take over by then and they are no longer needed. 

  • my doctor had me take them to about 13 1/2 weeks, he said just to be on the safe side

    Same here.  Though I did just start with the pro shots at 16w through 36w. 

  • I took Crinone until I was 13 weeks.
