I had enough to get me to 11 weeks but I was sick of the mess and my levels were good enough that it wasn't needed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-during-first-trimester#post-2825533 Thu, 31 May 2018 09:35:13 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2825533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My RE had me stop at 10 weeks which was also when I transitioned from the RE to my OB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-during-first-trimester#post-2825528 Thu, 31 May 2018 09:28:09 +0000 pachamama 2825528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 weeks and I took it upon myself to wean for just a few days. This pregnancy I will be doing oil progesterone injections to prevent preterm laborat 16w or so, so I never get away from it. Luckily it doesn't faze me one bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-during-first-trimester#post-2825295 Wed, 30 May 2018 04:29:41 +0000 erinbaderin 2825295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped at 9 weeks - I had been told I was going until 12 but at 9 I had my levels tested and they told me I could stop. I didn’t wean or anything, I just quit cold turkey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-during-first-trimester#post-2825262 Tue, 29 May 2018 17:14:54 +0000 bhbee 2825262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10w for me. That stuff was expensive and I was running out. For many it’s a “just in case” thing anyway so I wouldn’t worry unless you have a known issue.</p> <p>ETA pretty sure I just stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-during-first-trimester#post-2825261 Tue, 29 May 2018 16:45:42 +0000 YogiRunner 2825261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped at 12 weeks with both fresh and frozen transfers. I stopped the day I was told to and didn’t phase it out - was so ready to be done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-during-first-trimester#post-2825247 Tue, 29 May 2018 15:14:35 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2825247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: They stopped mine at the end of 12 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-during-first-trimester#post-2825244 Tue, 29 May 2018 15:01:24 +0000 MaryM 2825244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: From the other side, because of my history of loss (one that coincided with me discontinuing progesterone), I had my levels monitored throughout my last pregnancy and continued on it for 37 weeks. </p> <p>Any chance your OB might test your levels before you stop taking it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-during-first-trimester#post-2825242 Tue, 29 May 2018 14:59:52 +0000 LindsayInNY 2825242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: Thats what I figured - some people keep taking it. I think I had stopped by now with DD. I don’t remember when but felt like it was early so maybe 9-10 weeks? I don’t have any side effects it’s just gross and annoying lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-during-first-trimester#post-2825240 Tue, 29 May 2018 14:57:13 +0000 LAZB 2825240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I doubt it, but I’m always so sick of taking it I can’t wait to stop! Although I think I did 12 weeks with my first. I do progesterone shots to help prevent preterm labor starting at like 16 weeks, so I’m sure you’re fine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-during-first-trimester#post-2825239 Tue, 29 May 2018 14:45:47 +0000 LindsayInNY 2825239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: Think there’s any harm in continuing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-during-first-trimester#post-2825238 Tue, 29 May 2018 14:43:58 +0000 PurplePumps 2825238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 weeks for me with a FET </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-during-first-trimester#post-2825237 Tue, 29 May 2018 14:43:11 +0000 LAZB 2825237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine says 10 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-during-first-trimester#post-2825216 Tue, 29 May 2018 13:53:11 +0000 LindsayInNY 2825216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: Yeah I run out tomorrow/Wednesday, have my NT scan and OB appt Thursday (NIPT already came back fine). Would love to be done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-during-first-trimester#post-2825215 Tue, 29 May 2018 13:51:19 +0000 DesertDreams88 2825215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my OBs said it was fine to just stop, but I weaned by taking it every 36 hours for a couple of days, then 48 hours, then dropping it all together. I waited until 13 weeks with my first (after NT scan) and I think 11-12 weeks with my second. Both of them was also when my pills ran out naturally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-during-first-trimester#post-2825195 Tue, 29 May 2018 13:31:14 +0000 KT326 2825195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My RE said I could stop at 10 weeks. I think with my first I just finished what I had and that put me at 11 weeks. With my second I think I stopped at 8/9 weeks? I was so tired of feeling gross and my OB said it should be fine because my progesterone numbers were great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-during-first-trimester#post-2825191 Tue, 29 May 2018 13:24:49 +0000 LindsayInNY 2825191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When do you stop? Did you wean or just stop? I told my OB at my first visit (9ish weeks - post-RE) but forgot to ask about stopping. I see her again this Thursday but wondering what to expect. </p>
