Your post would have freaked me out.<br /> My levels were a 9 before supplements. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-progesterone-supplements-during-the-1st-trimester-when-did-you-stop#post-338595 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:47:22 +0000 MamaG 338595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>13 weeks. It was my first pregnancy and I wish I would have called. I refilled my prescription about 5 days prior. The refill was a waste. </p> <p>My understanding was after 13 weeks the placenta takes over and the progesterone is no longer needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-progesterone-supplements-during-the-1st-trimester-when-did-you-stop#post-338499 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:22:46 +0000 emg86 338499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Congrats on the due date! Hope your LO is ready to make an appearance soon! :-) My levels were fluctuating from around 17-21ish, the last couple of weeks they jumped to over 25 and the last lab they did on Wednesday came back at 28.2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-progesterone-supplements-during-the-1st-trimester-when-did-you-stop#post-338217 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 11:38:01 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 338217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine declared me perfectly fine at 11 weeks I believe but I had a bunch left over so I continued until they were gone.</p> <p>Do you remember what they said your levels were? Because mine were the lowest my OB has ever seen in her office and here I am at 40w exactly:) with a big, healthy baby who doesn't want to come out:)<br /> Mine were like.....14.8? and in her records she has never seen a pregnancy with anything less than a 14.6 survive.<br /> Progesterone supplementing rocks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-progesterone-supplements-during-the-1st-trimester-when-did-you-stop#post-338174 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 11:26:50 +0000 tororojo 338174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my OB said to quit around 13? He didn't seem super concerned about the exact date, and the pharmacy screwed up and gave me a lot of extra pills. I started taking them less often around 11-12 weeks because I was tired of swallowing pills. (This was progesterone only based on low levels at an appointment I had about 6 weeks in) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-progesterone-supplements-during-the-1st-trimester-when-did-you-stop#post-337874 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 09:28:03 +0000 Freckles 337874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was also done by 12-13 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-progesterone-supplements-during-the-1st-trimester-when-did-you-stop#post-337845 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 09:17:49 +0000 wheres_c 337845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told to stop at 12 weeks by my OB.<br /> Like you, I had some of my prescription left, so kept taking it to 14 weeks, and weaned myself off it slowly.<br /> 31 weeks now, and so far, so good </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-progesterone-supplements-during-the-1st-trimester-when-did-you-stop#post-337824 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 09:08:42 +0000 JessiBee 337824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told to stop when I hit 12 weeks. No weaning, no blood tests, just stop taking (or rather, inserting) it. I was terrified! It's now 10 weeks later, and so far, so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-progesterone-supplements-during-the-1st-trimester-when-did-you-stop#post-337817 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 09:07:27 +0000 rattles 337817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8-9 weeks, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-progesterone-supplements-during-the-1st-trimester-when-did-you-stop#post-337746 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 08:36:17 +0000 blackbird 337746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Week 13, then I was off </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-progesterone-supplements-during-the-1st-trimester-when-did-you-stop#post-337698 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 08:16:00 +0000 Mrs. Bee 337698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think i was done by 12 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-progesterone-supplements-during-the-1st-trimester-when-did-you-stop#post-337689 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 08:13:19 +0000 MamaBehr 337689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I got two prescriptions of it, so maybe two weeks. I think I was weaned off of it about the same time you will be done. I remember being really nervous about stopping too, but it wasn't a big deal. And now, I have a healthy baby boy who is making a huge mess with his big sister! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-took-progesterone-supplements-during-the-1st-trimester-when-did-you-stop#post-337659 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 07:58:32 +0000 emg86 337659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor put me on progesterone and estrogen around 4.5 weeks. I was weaned off of the estrogen a few weeks ago and had no issues. Yesterday I was released from my RE's care and was given a schedule to wean off of my progesterone...and I am terrified! I'm only 10 weeks + 5 days today. The idea is I would be completely done with it by 11 weeks + 5 days. I still have a few extra pills left so I'm thinking it of pushing it off just a few more days. </p> <p>If you were on progesterone, when did you stop taking it? I guess I need some reassurance! </p>
