Talk to me about progesterone supplements.

I know this has been posted before, but I can't find any relevant posts. I picked up my prescription of 200 mg progesterone suppositories. From what I gather, I put in one at night, and if this is a BFN cycle, I will get AF 3-10 days after I stop. My question is, when do you stop taking the supplements? Right now I'm planning on testing from 14 dpo to 18 dpo, then stopping if I get BFN at that point. Does that sound right?

I take it until 15dpo. At 18dpo you'd be way past the implantation window, good luck!

I take it until I get the results back from my beta, which is usually 15 dpo and I get my period within 2-3 days after stopping.

I'm one of those who got my period while still on the supps. Hopefully that's not the case for you. I would agree that 15 dpo is reasonable.

My dr says around 15dpo as well - assuming no positive HPT or beta.

My RE tells me to keep taking them until she says to stop. I have my beta's done 15dp iui and on that day she will tell me if I'm pregnant or not and whether to continue them or not. You may want to check with your doc though to see what they recommend for you.
