Everything was fine after that, and after I had my baby the midwife commented on how big my placenta was. I wonder if it was because of the extra progesterone I was taking? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wereare-on-progesterone-when-didwill-you-stop#post-2436906 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 22:08:22 +0000 Zbug 2436906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, ladies! I'm just over 10 weeks. I know the placenta takes over, but I'm still nervous to stop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wereare-on-progesterone-when-didwill-you-stop#post-2436707 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 19:13:03 +0000 winter_wonder 2436707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped at 12 weeks, cold turkey.

So after my fresh IVF cycle, maybe 9-10 weeks? Cold turkey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wereare-on-progesterone-when-didwill-you-stop#post-2436381 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 14:49:48 +0000 meadow 2436381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on Endometrin (suppositories) with my fresh cycle until about 10 weeks pregnant. I stopped cold turkey. I had more pills but my levels were good and I was SO over the leaking, so I ended when the doctor's said so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wereare-on-progesterone-when-didwill-you-stop#post-2436256 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 13:56:01 +0000 fancyfunction 2436256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped cold turkey around 12 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wereare-on-progesterone-when-didwill-you-stop#post-2436136 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 12:59:31 +0000 bloved 2436136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on progesterone from an FET for 12 weeks.

Also, I weaned off by taking a dose every other day, sometime like 12.5 wks - 13.5 wks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wereare-on-progesterone-when-didwill-you-stop#post-2436035 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 11:39:39 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2436035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to a half dose during week 10 and was off completely during week 11. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wereare-on-progesterone-when-didwill-you-stop#post-2436020 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 11:28:22 +0000 Alba4 2436020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on progesterone suppositories.

That's when the dr told me to stop. So glad I could because progesterone makes me super constipated and tired! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wereare-on-progesterone-when-didwill-you-stop#post-2436000 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 11:16:40 +0000 erinbaderin 2436000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told I'd be taking them until 12 weeks but at 9 weeks my doctor told me I could stop cold turkey and I didn't question it - I'd had bloodwork done so I assume that my levels were high enough that I didn't need it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wereare-on-progesterone-when-didwill-you-stop#post-2435996 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 11:12:01 +0000 BSB 2435996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on progesterone shots from FET transfer until 11 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wereare-on-progesterone-when-didwill-you-stop#post-2435986 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 11:06:05 +0000 BandDmommy 2435986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am on progesterone shots and I started at 15 weeks and will go to 35 weeks.

I've been told I'll stop at 12 weeks. Not sure if I'll do it slowly or all at once. I have an appointment tomorrow. I'll ask and try to update you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-wereare-on-progesterone-when-didwill-you-stop#post-2435926 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 10:30:52 +0000 Zbug 2435926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't talked to my dr yet, but the nurse practitioner mentioned 11 weeks. I'm curious if there's a consensus on when to stop. Also, did you stop cold turkey or wean? </p>
