I wonder if that's visible on an u/s or anything? I'll have to ask on Friday... I get my Crinone through my local pharmacy (usually CVS) which makes things easy if I need more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1948560 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 07:45:12 +0000 anonysquire 1948560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice but congrats! Super cute Lil baby!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1948530 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 06:48:39 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1948530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I remember my RE saying two things: one, your corpus luteum cyst (I just spelled that incorrectly!) makes progesterone during early pregnancy and your placenta takes over at about 8 weeks. She told me I could stop once I ran out of my script at my 8w ultrasound. </p> <p>For me, that was closer to 11 weeks just because of the way the prescriptions/refills fell. </p> <p>Are you using Freedom? I'm sure they could expedite the crinone since you're leaving friday, and then you'll have extra for peace of mind! I know using it for a few more weeks felt like a crutch, and I was perfectly fine with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1948512 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 02:14:36 +0000 Ifyoulikepinacoladas 1948512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I'm 10 weeks 5 days and will only start weaning at 11 weeks to once a day, then every other day from week 12 to week 13. I was given a weaning chart. Will also be coming off the estrogen at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1948492 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 23:59:12 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 1948492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped at 12 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1948377 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 21:38:14 +0000 Torchwood 1948377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>13 weeks, but that was just when it ran out. I think they did want me to go to at least 11 though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1948366 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 21:25:34 +0000 babycanuck 1948366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AHHHHH!@#@!#@!

I know that it's hard to let go but our docs do this day in and day out and I jusst had to trust that they wouldn't be telling me to stop if there was any risk at all in doing so.<br /> Though the PIO injections...didn't even question that. I did a jig in the stirrups when he told me I could stop :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1948282 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 20:26:40 +0000 LindsayInNY 1948282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ineebee: That was when I was told...</p> <p>@SweetiePie: I graduated from my RE at 8 weeks. I assume they would've kept me longer of they thought it was necessary? I see my obgyn on Friday before I head on vacation so that makes me feel better. </p> <p>@FaithFertility: I wish I had more left! I literally have enough to go every other day for a week and a half. They said to do that for one week. I'm guessing my obgyn will tell me to do whatever makes me feel comfortable. I wish I knew what the placenta looked like!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1948268 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 20:15:15 +0000 FaithFertility 1948268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on it until a little after 10 weeks it was hard to stop....... when the placenta has taken over that is when baby makes it him/her self... cant remember exactly when that is.....my RE told me I could stop, but I had about a week left and he said if it makes you feel better jut finish it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1947927 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 15:22:14 +0000 SweetiePie 1947927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did my PIO injections till 7 or 8 weeks and continued suppositories (Crinone) till 11 weeks when I saw my OB. RE said to wait till I saw my OB, OB said I couldve stopped when my RE released me at 7-8 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1947910 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 15:17:09 +0000 ineebee 1947910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My RE told me to stop at 8w. (Diagnosis was PCOS, first fresh IVF.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1947862 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 15:03:02 +0000 Snowdrop 1947862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was kept on them till 27 weeks as my levels would plummet when I omitted one dose for a blood test, so right up to the 3rd tri. I would ask if you can just stay on them until after your trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1947840 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 14:57:23 +0000 macintosh 1947840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped at 10 weeks per my RE's instructions. I couldn't wait to get off it actually, cause I was hoping it would help relieve my nausea. It didn't :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1947794 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 14:47:06 +0000 twodoghouse 1947794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on suppositories and PIO shots until 12 weeks. My RE typically has people stop between 8-10 weeks, but I had multiples so he had me go until 12 weeks. I never had my #s checked after initial beta bloodwork and I didn't have any history of progesterone issues (that was my first and only pregnancy). It was just standard protocol for IVF patients at my office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1947683 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 13:58:51 +0000 LAZB 1947683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: No, my progesterone shots now are because I went into pre-term labor with my son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1947602 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 13:24:09 +0000 LindsayInNY 1947602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Eko: That was my thought. I didn't think there was any harm to it. I'm just paranoid now... I'm guessing my ob/gyn will just tell me to go back on it?</p> <p>@Banana330: I wondered if maybe something on the u/s looked good enough to warrant me stopping it? Is the placenta even visible on an u/s?!</p> <p>@LAZB: Maybe that's why they recommended weaning off? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1947541 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 12:58:08 +0000 BandDmommy 1947541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on from 15 weeks - 36 weeks. I delivered at 37 weeks exactly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1947539 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 12:56:46 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1947539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: They stopped me at 12 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1947516 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 12:43:39 +0000 Freckles 1947516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12-13 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1947497 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 12:36:11 +0000 wheres_c 1947497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told to stop at 10 weeks but actually stopped at 14 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1947487 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 12:30:11 +0000 lazypanda 1947487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told by my RE to stop when I was 12 weeks. I was taking the progesterone suppositories twice a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-progesterone-when-pregnant#post-1947451 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 12:19:50 +0000 LAZB 1947451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped at 12ish weeks both times. It is scary stopping suddenly, but the placenta should be taking over by around 10 weeks I believe, so that is a little reassuring.<br /> I am now getting weekly progesterone injections though, started at 21 weeks. Not sure how this stuff all works. </p>
