Progesterone - when to stop?

Question

I'm on my third pregnancy - 2 prior MCs. This time my Dr put me on Progesterone (Crinone) when I went in for my 10 week scan on Monday he told me to stop the progesterone at 12 weeks. I know I should listen to him, but I'm really scared to just stop one day. If you were on progesterone before did you ween off of it or stop "cold turkey"?

Answer

I was on suppository I think it was like 11 weeks

Answer

I was supposed to stop it at 12 weeks but I continued until almost 14 weeks with one less dosage and so far so good. I still worry but I am trusting that everything will be ok.

Answer

I stopped at 10 weeks, and I'm 20 weeks now. All is well!

Answer

I stopped at 14 weeks cold turkey as my doctor instructed. I had previously losses so I was nervous too, like yourself. However, nothing happened. I went on to give birth to a beautiful baby boy. It'll be okay!

Answer

Cold turkey! I was scared to stop too but was assured by my RE that it would all be ok. Once it's stuck, it's stuck. Your placenta will be making enough progesterone.

Answer

I was on progesterone suppositories and stopped at 12 weeks. I had some spotting which my dr said was normal but if it made me feel better I could ween off. So I took it every other day for a few weeks then every 2 days, then eventually stopped. I probably took longer than necessary to taper down but I was scared. My dr said it was fine, it wasn't hurting anything, just not helping either since the placenta takes over at that point.

Answer

Cold turkey at 12 weeks with all 3 kids.

Answer

Same boat here! Just had my 13 week appointment on Wednesday and previously she had mentioned stopping at 12 weeks but I figured I would just wait until the appointment to ask again. She had me stop, so Tuesday was my last dose and I already feel 100 times better. I was so scared to stop also and that night I had a horrible dream about losing the baby but I haven't had any problems and I feel great! It's hard though - it totally felt like a security blanket for me. Good luck ❤

Answer

I was on it and stopped the day the doctor told me to. I had some spotting afterwards so don't be too alarmed if it happens to you too! Just let your doctor know

Answer

Stopped cold turkey at 12 weeks, now 39+6 with our rainbow baby. Congrats mama
