Hi ladies

Back in 2017 I had two chemicals back to back our first times TTC.

The next cycle we tried progesterone pill/baby aspirin combo and we conceived again. I had my healthy baby boy in October 2018. I took the progesterone and aspirin until 37 weeks with him because I was too scared to go off! My docs said it was a safety blanket and it didn’t matter if I was off or on. They said if I went off nothing would happen and if I stayed on it was such a small amount can compared to why the placenta was making it wouldn’t really matter. I went to almost 42 weeks with my son before they induced me though! 😅 I wasn’t dilated at all and had no signs of labor. My induction was pretty easy though so no major complaints.

I’m now 29 weeks pregnant with my daughter doing the same thing with the progesterone/baby aspirin. What I’m wondering is - if I go off the progesterone at like 30 weeks, would it increase my chances of not going so late again this pregnancy?

I don’t have a history of preterm labor or anything I just took this to prevent another chemical preg but now I’ve created a monster and I’m worried to go off of it but I’d love the opportunity to go into labor naturally this time but not so late bc I was dying by the end with my son and he was 9 lbs at birth! He was so big and I tore so bad.

My doctor said this time they’d induce me at 39 weeks as long as my cervix looked ready. We moved so I’m with a new doctor and practice this pregnancy. I’m worried the progesterone will make my body hold off labor and give me no signs to get this baby out!

Scared going off will make something terrible happen like the baby dying but also part of me is like just stop taking it there’s no reason to.

Any advice/insight? My doctor doesn’t seem to care much.
