So my doctor wants to stop the shots and Im worried its too early. I  feel like I should keep taking them until placenta takes over. Im 11 weeks now. Any thoughts?

    I was nervous when I stopped at 8 weeks.

    But... the placenta had been confirmed on u/s.

    And all was fine.

     

    At 11 weeks you really should be fine to stop it.

    If you're uncomfortable you could ask to continue another week or ask for blood level monitoring for a few days after you stop.

      

    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.

    RE had me stop the progesterone shot and supplements at 10 weeks after he confirmed my numbers and felt I was good to go.  Also at 10 weeks I had my first appt with OB (which RE recommended I scheduled to see at 10 weeks once hb was confirmed).  Most people stop a week or more before you.

    2nd ectopic resulted in loss of tube. HSG revealed remaining tube is "severely torqued".
    IVF #1: ER 03/29/10; ET 04/01/10: transferred 2 embies; Beta #1 (9dp3dt)- 45; Beta #2 (11dp3dt)- 91= BFP
    FET#1: ET 04/18/12: transferred 4 embies; Beta #1: >2 = BFN
    IVF #2: ER 06/20/12; ET 6/25/12: transferred 2 embies; Beta #1 on 7/5/12= BFN
    8/16: hysteroscopy for polyp removal
    11/11: hysteroscopy #2 for yet another polyp removal
    FET#2: ET 12/15/12: transferred 3 embies; Beta #1 (9dp5dt): 12/24/12: 426; Beta #2 (11dp5dt): 845= BFP
    u/s 1/9= triplets!; miscarried all three on 1/10/13...

    ditto this.   I went down to a half dose at 8 weeks and stopped all together at 9 weeks.  

    good luck to you!

    Around 11 weeks is when I stopped. It was scary, and I asked the nurse a ton of questions, but she explained that by that time my body was producing the progesterone itself. I've actually heard a lot of ladies say they stopped earlier than me.

    You should be fine :)
