  Every RE seems to be different, but on average it seems like most ladies stay on progesterone until around 12 weeks.  Mine lessened my dose after 8 and I stopped at 14.

  
  
  Me 33, DH 37 -- TTC since Jan'12 -- Low AMH (0.78) & endo, SA w/ low motility
  IUI's 1-3 = BFN, IVF converted to IUI 4/13 = BFN
  IVF 1.2: 8R 6M 4F -- 2 blastocysts frozen, FET 8/15 = BFP!!
  Beta #s = 445;1,098; 9,545  -- EDD 5/2 -- Team Pink!

  I stayed on Progesterone the longest, gradually weaning eventually. around week 12 I stopped and I was a nervous wreck.

  I was on all of those as well even though we conceived naturally. I was seeing an RE at the time and it is her protocol to use those meds. My progesterone wasn't checked either. RE said stop everything at 10 weeks. My OB continued the progesterone until 12 weeks however. Lovenox is typically throughout your pregnancy (until you are switched to heparin before your EDD). However, I saw MFM who decided the lovenox was unnecessary for me so he discontinued that when I saw him around week 14.

  Me: 37, DH: 38: ttc 7 years, dx: unknown
  10/11: after 2 years, saw a RE, FSH 5.4
  11/11: BFP! (surprise after thyroid & normal hsg),
  12/11: missed m/c after 7 week u/s, 1/12: D&C
  6/12 IUI#1-IUI #3: clomid = BFP!, C/P
  IVF #1(10/12) FSH 5.4, AFC: 16 long Lupron, 5R/5M/4F, all 4 made it to 5dt, 1 blast/1-8 cell transferred=BFN
  IVF #2(12/12)AFC 21, MD lupron, 4R/4M/3F, 5dt of 1 blast and 2-8cell. BFN.
  IVF#3(4/13) Natural start antagon protocol, 12R,11F. one PGS normal at day 6 transfer. BFN.
  IVF#4 (11/13) C.CRM (ODW.U normal 8/13 Still no Diagnosis) EPP/antagonist. ER 13R/7M/6F. Only 1 made it to freeze. Abnormal. Looking into options of DE, Fresh vs frozen.
  10/14 new local RE to look into what's next. CD3 FSH 4.7, AMH 0.9. Met with DE agencies and exploring options for feb/march 2015.
  Surprise natural bfp (4 days before donor is signed).

U/S at 5w0d(12/22): one gestational sac with yolk sac. U/S #2 (6w0d)12/29. One little bean measuring 6w0d with HR 124. 3rd u/s(1/4)7w0d: baby measuring 7w2d.

  Baby Will born 8/18. He's perfect.

  I started weaning off progesterone at 8 weeks and completely stopped at 9w+1.
  
  Like everyone else, I was super nervous. I'm almost 12 weeks now.

  I am also on all 3. At first I was on 3 different kinds old progesterone and estrogen. I weaned off the crinone first a few weeks ago. Next was the injections and I stopped those I think two weeks ago, I am still on oral progesterone. One 200mg per day. I weaned off all estrogen and took my last pill last week. Shots and patches were a week before. I started at 40mg of prednisone before my transfer and I am down to 10mg starting today. The lovenox I stay on until the end, but I think they switch to heparin eventually as lovenox has a long half life.
