Coming off meds 12 weeks

[PrincessGurn1984]

Hi everyone, I’m going to be 12 weeks on Monday which means I’ll be taking my last lot of progesterone that day (on 1 pessary in the morning and 1 pessary in the evening). Did anyone else feel nervous coming off them cold turkey? I know by that point my body should be able to do everything itself (I had a fresh transfer) but it’s scary coming off when you’ve basically been on them for such a long time and even throughout the whole treatment process too. They’ve sort of become like my safety blanket. Anyone got any tips or reassurance about it? X

I feel the same. I’m 11weeks today and starting to wean off the progesterone this morning. I had a frozen transfer and I am probably more nervous about this than I have been about anything else. It’s definitely a safety blanket. I feel like the progesterone is holding the baby in 🤦‍♀️ Xxx

It is scary but you'll be fine. I was on PIO and pessaries and was told just to go cold turkey at 10weeks, which felt very abrupt and early. But everything was fine, I'm 20 weeks now.

I stopped abruptly on OTD, I was worried but all has been perfectly fine

No tips but I’m so worried about this! I have a history of miscarriage and have my scan at 12w3d and the clinic said just stop at 12w (2 weeks to go). Might ask the clinic about reducing more slowly. Feel like there is so much to worry about already!

Obsessive googling tells me that the vast majority of people are absolutely fine so keeping everything crossed.

Best of luck and you are deffo not alone in your anxiety!
