Stopping Progesterone

Hi everyone. I’ve been discharged from the IVF clinic today as I’ve had a 7 week scan and everything is fine (actually measuring 1 day ahead at 7w2d!). They’ve said once I’ve ran out of my pessaries I can just stop taking them cold turkey. I did ask if this was safe due to miscarriage risk but she said it was fine. Just wondering if this is what other people were told? I’ve got about a weeks worth of uestrogen left and I take them three times a day

Yep I had the same thing in my last pregnancy and it’s fine by now your body will be producing the right amount or hormone x

If they’ve said it’s ok then they must thing your body will be ok. By week 8 I got told to start cutting down on them, so I went to 2 a day and then 1 and day, then every other day. Until I was 12weeks. But I have heard of some people just finishing them and that’s it done. Fingers crossed mama 🤞🏻 good luck

Yip I was told the same

Was told up until 12 weeks

I took them until 13 weeks for piece of mind but I had to pay more money for extra meds

I weaned myself off the progesterone in oil shots my doctor respected it as it helped with my anxiety from a previous loss. I did this until about 10 weeks.

My clinic said 12 wks since miscarriage rates are still high in first trimester & by then ur placenta takes over but every clinic has it’s different set of rules to follow

Thanks everyone, I think I’ll wean myself off them from 9/10 weeks and order myself some more just in case. 8 weeks seems quite early based on what most forums say

I also did IVF and was on progesterone suppositories. I had the same question but was reassured it’s fine to stop cold Turkey. I stopped cold Turkey at 14 weeks with no issues

I stopped mine at 8 weeks as per my clinic and everythinh was fine 😊

I was on progesterone injections, pessaries and tablets. I stopped the injections at 12 weeks and weaned down pessaries and tablets between weeks 12-14, as per clinic guidelines

I stopped at 12 weeks. From week 10 was only 2 a day then week 11 was one a day. Xx

Did everything work out? I'm so nervous
