When to stop progesterone.

Question

I got a positive on my blood test this week after two IVF cycles. Only just over four weeks now and nurse says I can stop Crinone gel but I'm scared to! Any similar experiences?

Answer

Thanks ladies. After reading your comments and doing a spot of research (can't stay away from Google!)  I contacted my doc directly and looks like I'll continue for the first trimester. It will cost me though - expensive stuff!! I wonder why the IVF clinics don't thoroughly check all this for you?!?! Frustrating. Makes me feel like a number, not a person.

Answer

Did IUI, and have been told to take it until 11 weeks with a BFP (or to stop when you get a negative beta).

Answer

Mine has me on it till first tri is done

Answer

I was stopped mine at 6 weeks and I sadly lost my baby. Taking it for the first trimester is what I would advise taking it will not harm the baby so keep on it! IVF stops the body from producing progestogen that's why we are giving it in the first place I wish I had asked more questions Instead of coming off mine

Answer

I just did ivf and I have to stay on my estrogen and progesterone until 10 weeks. I've never heard of stopping at 4 weeks, but your doc must be confident you will make it on your own.  Are they going to monitor your levels once you stop?

Answer

I thought if it was a full IVF cycle and not an FET that progesterone is continued till at least 8 weeks and usually to the end of the first trimester. Though I know many drs do different things.

I'm doing an FET in a few months but it's an HRT cycle so I'll take progesterone and oestrogen and I've been told if it's successful I'll be taking both likely till the end of my first trimester 😊
