Did you just stop progesterone?

NvmbrBride · November 2008

If you were on progesterone, did you just stop at 10 weeks? I'm on suppositories and the dr said to take them until week 10 but do I just go cold turkey or go off slowly? The dr did say just stop but it makes me nervous (I know, he's the doc).

I'm on progesterone injections and they told me to stop at 9 weeks (which is tomorrow). I'm going to continue until the vial we're on runs out, but yes, I'll stop cold turkey. Last pregnancy I was on 2x a day then scaled back to 1x a day for the last week then stopped altogether and never had any spotting or anything.

My doctor has prescribed progesterone through week 11 and I guess I will be going cold turkey after that.

I would talk to your doctor if you are concerned but I think it is around week 9-10 that the placenta starts to take over so your levels are somehow no longer as crucial.

I do supps 2xs a day and will stop at week 10. No weaning off.

My Dr is having me stop at 12 weeks, cold turkey. I only have a few days left and I'm freaking DANCING over that.

I did injections until 6w5 days, then the RE changed to Crinone supps till 8w0d, but I'll just use them till the box runs out, which is only 5 more days.
