IVF girls, when did your doctor take you off of PIO and did he switch you to the prometrium pills? I go on Thursday for another ultrasound but I just thought I would ask before then. I don't know if my behind will ever be the same, lol! Deanne
My progesterone was always through the roof, so I was taken off of it at 8 weeks.
A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

My RE said I could come off just shy of 7 weeks. I stayed on for another week until I saw my OB. She also said I could come off of it. So, I was shy of 8 weeks. I never switched to another form of progesterone. The babies look great and my boobs still hurt so all looks fine!

I was offered to switch to vag supps at 6w1d when we saw a heartbeat. I refused for a number of reasons. I was taken off of PIO, estrace and baby aspirin at 12 weeks exactly.
Dx: MFI, DOR, 9 Fibroids and homozygous MTHFR

I'm on both right now - PIO dropped from 2 to 1 cc/night after first u/s last week. I'm also on 200mg of prometrium, 3x/day. Starting tomorrow (7w3d) I get to drop the PIO to 1 cc every other day and expect that after next u/s, will be off completely. The prometrium...not sure how long before they wean me off that.
I'm one of those weird freaks that has had ZERO s/e from PIO though - no pain or welts whatsoever - so would rather be on it than the gross prometrium supps.
