IVF Progesterone

Catherine • Fri, Apr 16

Hey everyone I need some advice I’m really scared. I was told to stop the progesterone at 10 weeks witch is today I do not feel comfortable as I have had a miscarriage in the past :( I’m not sure what to do I wondering when everyone stoped it did you stop cold Turkey? I currently take 100mg pills x 6 a day. I’m worried it will be to much of a change. I need some advice!? Please ❤️

I stopped at 10 weeks as well. It was scary b it all turned out okay!My doctor/nurse explained it to me that by 10 weeks the placenta is starting to take over progesterone production. The placenta will be what does this for the rest of pregnancy- trust that it will do it’s job!

I was told to stop pessaries at 12 weeks once I’d had my scan. Then the placenta starts to take over, from what I remember.

That’s what I’m going to do! I will continue it until my 12 week scan :)

I finished my progesterone suppositories at 8 weeks. It felt very early but the nurse reassured me that my body was doing what it needed to do and it was fine. 4 weeks later and everything is going strong. Your body will make the progesterone.

I stop on Sunday. RE said at 9 weeks placenta takes over but they give you an extra week just in case

My doctor pulled me off PIO at 10 weeks, then continued/tapered down suppositories until 12, but he said it really wasn’t necessary.
