My clinic said I would be on them till 12 weeks but told me to stop at 8 after 3 early scans. The nurse told me if you were to miscarry it would happen the tablets may slow it down but if there's blood to come out it will come out. Good luck xx

I am 12 weeks on Tuesday and started weaning off progesterone and oestrogen 4 days ago, will stop completely in 11 days. The placenta takes over the job at around 10-12 weeks.

I have had one dose adjustment so will see how the blood tests turn out in a few weeks. I have been refered to a thyroid specialist for pregnancy .

I'm under a specialist, and now am

Having extra growth scans from 28 weeks as standard, which is good, as it's nice to see my munchkin more often.

Hi there, I was told to stop taking them after my BFP as the body would take over from then, and I'm now 26 weeks pregnant :-) Good luck!
