I’ve seen so many different variations when I was researching this for myself last year. Looks like all docs do something different. I went to 12 weeks before my RE let me stop. I did stop cold turkey. She stopped checking my progesterone levels after 8 weeks and just said keep going to 12. Let me tell you about the misery! I actually started to feel numbness and tingling from the swelling compressing my nerves. It was like that terrible feeling you get when you switch positions after your legs fall asleep when you sit on them for too long. AND it did not go away until after I had my baby! Lucky your doc is having you switch to every other day soon. Hang in there! Try all the things to help the pain and swelling like low heat and massage. Wishing you all the best and congrats!!!!
PIO Shots- what level?? How Long??
My doctors been monitoring my progesterone weekly and at daily my levels stay between 14.5-16. They haven’t gone up. I’m 8w6d pregnant, and really hoping my body picks up and gets making the stuff because my booty is getting soreee. They said once it looks good I can go to every other day, which would be great.
How long was everyone else on daily shots for? Did you stop cold turkey or just do less frequently? And what level did your doctor seem fine with??

Agree, doesn’t seem like there is a standard protocol! I appreciate your detailed response! I just keep telling myself that this journey has put my body through a lot worse! we are also trying to switch up the spots to avoid the big knots and bruises which helps some days! Appreciate all your advice!
I was on 2ml of pio daily at week 10 I was told to stop cold turkey. My poor hips still have knots and itch currently 28wks

I’ll be 9w4d tomorrow for my next bloodwork check in! Hopefully that’s close enough to 10 that things get working! I know what you mean about the knots! I’ve got them and track marks up and down both sides. Hopefully they resolve for you soon! Best of luck in the rest of your pregnancy!!
