Hi everyone. I have been on progesterone since my IUI on 3/10/2012. I took suppositories twice a day from 3/10 until 4/19. I had emergency surgery to fix a twisted ovary and the doc put me on shots once a day from 4/19 to 4/26. I was on shots every other day from 4/27-5/10. I am now exactly 11 weeks. My RE says it is safe to quit now since the placenta has taken over progesterone production and says that every woman has concerns when going off progresterone. I am nervous about but my doctor is very reputable and is excellent in her field, so I guess i need to trust her. When did you go off progesterone?
Re: when did RE take you off progesterone? I stopped at 11 weeks
At 10 weeks I skipped a morning shot and then did blood work, my bosy wasn't quite making enough, so I did the same at 11 weeks, blood work was fine, and was given the go ahead to stop then.
Worked well for me.
I know I am just worrying about nothing. My husband thinks we should trust the doctor and do what she says. The nurses told me they wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't safe for the baby. My progesterone two weeks ago was 41 and is 42 (as of two days ago). The nurse also mentioned that the level they are testing is skewed b/c of the injections and that the baby is internally getting progesterone from the placenta. (if i understood her correctly).
I believe he stopped me at 14 weeks.

I believe that I was taken off progesterone at 12 weeks. My doctor gave me one extra week just to be sure that the placenta had taken over.
I was so nervous to stop, but he was right...I went on to have a successful, normal pregnancy! Hang in there!
