Everyone talk me down! I am a little nervous now that I have stopped PIO injections! I stopped on Friday when I was 13 weeks! Now of course I am worried my progesterone levels will drop and I could lose the babies... I know I have read that both placentas should be making enough to support our twins but I am still scared! Has anyone stayed on them longer than 13 weeks?? I am calling my Midwife in the morning to see if I can get my levels checked!

Thanks everyone! Your comments really helped! I did ask my midwife if I could get bloodwork and she told me that progesterone isnt as important now that my placenta has taken over. I will just say extra prayers and take all your words into account sooo everything will be okay : )

-- HAVE FAITH; LET GO & LET GOD --
it is very nervewracking! i stopped pio at 8 weeks due to an abscess and they didn't check my levels then, or when i stopped crinone at 12 weeks and i was paranoid. it's hard to trust our bodies to do what they are supposed to when for so long they haven't been very agreeable with us. but it does work!!!!
Me (37) DH (39); PCOS changed to Unexplained, changed to DOR in 2012 (finally a correct diagnosis!);
Started TTC 2009 with RE after 6 months.
Clomid + Trigger x2;
IUI + Femara x1,
IUI + Follistim x2;
IVF #1 (MDL) February 2013- BFN.
IVF #2 (antagonist) May 2013, First BFP of my life.
Identical twin miracle BOYS (!!) headed our way- due date is technically 2/4/14 but c section is scheduled for 1/7!
It is nerve wracking stopping PIO & trusting that those placentas have taken over & are doing their job. By 10 weeks you should be fine & at over 13 weeks you have a nice cushion. No harm in checking your levels if it gives you some peace of mind.
