If on estrogen/progesterone when did (or will) stop?

My RE has be on del estrogen injections every 3 days and PIO shots of progesterone every day and are having me stop tonight at 10weeks.  
When are you stopping?  Is 10 weeks ok to stop?

  • I'm not sure about estrogen, but there was a whole thread about progesterone a while back. Here is the link.

  • My RE said 10 too.  12.5 weeks now and all is good!
  • I'm at 10 weeks and just stopped the estrace and weaning off the progesterone.  The doc said my levels were fine and I could stop the progesterone cold turkey and be fine, but keeping me on a little longer to keep the uterus quiet due to some bleeding. Mine were tablets and vaginals.  The PIO injections seem pretty hard core!

    I was on PIO injections and estrace pills. I decreased my dose of PIO to .5mL from 1mL at 9 weeks and stopped at 10. I stopped the pills altogether at 10 as well. All is fine now but my progesterone was at the low end of the normal range after I stopped which really scared me. My doctor let me come back for a couple of blood draws but said he wasn't worried at all and I felt like I just had to trust him.
