When to stop progesterone?

[daydreamer89]

Hiya ladies. Just wondering when you was told to stop taking your progesterone pessaries after finally having your bfp ? Was it 10 or 12 weeks ?

My would have been 12 weeks on my last attempt but I think it varies from clinic to clinic x

Thank you x

i weaned off at 12 weeks (when the placenta takes over) and stopped completely at 13 weeks. Xx

Thank you x

[embiemomma in reply to daydreamer89]

also, this varies from fresh to frozen transfers - frozen is longer because you haven't ovulated and the womb lining isn't thick enough without. I was on 3/day then weaned to 2 then 1, then stopped. Fresh cycle was much shorter, just till test day i think... X

Hi

So I was taking these twice a day until 12 weeks and was told to take one a day from 12 weeks to 14 and then I stop

But maybe everyone is different x

[daydreamer89 in reply to Emmad781]

I'm on 1 a day so I will just be stopping completely. A bit nervous about it x

Hi, I got my bfp 2d ago and I was told I have to stop my Utrogestan at week 8 when I go for my 1st scan (if I make it for the scan that is). Good luck.

Congratulations on your bfp 😀 12 weeks I have been told to stop but heared so many different times so wanted to see what the average time was because I'm so nervous about coming off them x

[Ninirk in reply to daydreamer89]

Thank you. Looks like most of the clinics say 12w except mine. Even I'm unsure of coming off of it abruptly at week 8, but it's a long way away and will handle it when I get there. Try not to worry about it now and I really hope everything goes well for you.

I stopped mine at 12 weeks- I was on progesterone injection rather than pessery though x

My daughter has been told she will be stopping at 6 weeks. I’m gonna tell her to check on that xx

[daydreamer89 in reply to Gillyc1]

Each clinic seems to be so different but I would double check. No harm is asking xx

[Gillyc1 in reply to daydreamer89]

She says she has enough for 8 weeks because I told her to check. She has got her viability scan next Tuesday so she will doubly check xx

[daydreamer89 in reply to Gillyc1]

Same as me then. I had enough to get me to my viability scan but once I had my scan I ordered more to get me through the next few weeks. Hope your daughter is well wishing all the best for her scan xx

[Gillyc1 in reply to daydreamer89]

She can’t wait for next week. She is actually now though beginning to think this is for real and starting to settle down a bit and relaxing about it xxx

[daydreamer89 in reply to Gillyc1]

Every bit of it is so nerve wracking. I'm 10 weeks tomorrow and I'm still on edge once I had a scan I was on cloud 9 for a few days but then worry would kick back in. It's natural I think from what we have been through to get this far to be concerned. So glad she is starting to relax and enjoy being pregnant..She deserves to be be happy and excited xx

[Gillyc1 in reply to daydreamer89]

She is doing a blog on fb and she is being so true about her feelings. She is hoping to educate ppl about infertility and all that it entails xx

[daydreamer89 in reply to Gillyc1]

Such a fantastic thing to do xx

Hi hun. I was told to take the progesterone pessaries till 12 weeks ( but miscarried early) i took 2 a day. i don’t know if different clinics have different policies xoxo

[Hidden]

My US clinic said up to 10 weeks pregnant I’ve always gone to 12 weeks according to my UK Consultant x

[Lynnr54]

My clinic differ between fresh or frozen cycle. For a fresh they stop you after your viability scan (mine was c7 weeks) but the nurse there did say that you could stop after BFP and keeping on to the scan was just a precaution. For frozen they keep you on it until 12 weeks. No idea why the difference.

[Purpledazzle27]

I was told to use for 12 weeks but had had enough of them by 11 weeks and was starting to get itchy so stopped a week early they gave me the worst constipation

[daydreamer89 in reply to Purpledazzle27]

Same here ! The joys ha x

[Lizzielizzielizzie]

Mine is ten weeks after transfer date. Check with your clinic x

[Tezzabell86]

Mine was 10 weeks but double check with consultant xxx

[Hidden]

On both my fresh and frozen I had to carry on til 12 weeks x

[daydreamer89]

Thank you, you would think all clinics would be the same. I'm 10 weeks now so only 2 more weeks of them. Once I have my 12 week scan I'm sure it will make me feel better about stopping them once I know everything is ok x

[Yeasmin786]
