My OB put me on prometrium at 5wks and just told me that she'll have me stop taking it at 10wks. I was a little surprised since I thought I'd take it atleast until I'm in my second trimester (or later). When did your OB's have you stop?
I'm having another U/S on friday so hopefully a healthy report will make it easier to trust my OB.
Thanks,
Suz

I'm on prometrium until 16 weeks, but my progesterone plummeted at the beginning of the pregnancy and I've had two early miscarriages. I also have a thrombophilia mutation.
If you're taking prometrium as a "just to be on the safe side" measure, I don't think it's too weird that you'd stop at 10 weeks. The placenta is formed around then and it'll start taking over that job.
if you don't mind me asking, which mutation do you have?
