How did you quite progesterone?

Question

When did you ladies stop taking it? I’m currently 13+4 I took my last dose yesterday (200mg 2x’s a day) and basically going cold turkey. My doctor didn’t specify either or he just told me to stop at 12+3 but I had left over meds and paid close to 100$ for them so I figured I’d finish them off beings that I knew it wouldn’t hurt to do so. I’m just worried about what could happen cutting off cold turkey. I know the placenta has taken over progesterone at this point but still 😭

Answer

My doctor told me to go from taking it every day to every other day in the 11th week, and then being done with it. Taking it beyond then won’t hurt you or your baby, so if it would make you feel more comfortable to go down to every other day now, that is fine. This was per my obgyn when I was pregnant with my son. Of course, I would say call your doctor’s office and ask one of the nurses before taking advice from people on here, but I’d venture to say they’ll tell you something similar. :)

Answer

I know it’s hard but the doc knows best I was so paranoid to stop but everything will be ok. Maybe for your piece of mind ask them if they could do a blood test to reassure the progesterone is where it needs to. I did and my doc was totally fine with it. Good luck& congratulations 🤰
