Cyclogest

Hi everyone. Just wondered how long everyone took Cyclogest for after a BFP?. When i called in my results on test day they mentioned about getting a new prescription so i have enough to last till 12 weeks. However i went for my 7 week scan yesterday and the nurse told me i dont need it and as a clinic they dont prescribe till 12 weeks like some clinics. I had no blood tests to check my progesterone levels. Interested to hear everyones thoughts. I can check with my midwife on Tuesday as i have enough left for 1 a day but nor sure if she will test me or not.

I’m still on tww but my paper work and nurse said 12 weeks I’ve had iui though not ivf good luck I’d double check xx

[Sarah_37]

I was told till 9 weeks and used them till nearly 10 as then I ran out x

[Bridget_rose]

I was initially told I’d be on them until 12 weeks but earlier this week they said I’d stop cold turkey if 8 week scan ok 😬. I’ve got loads so think if I get that far I’ll wean them off a bit! Scared to stop!

My clinic says to stop at 7 weeks as that’s when the placenta takes over making enough but they said if I’m anxious I can switch from prontogest to pessaries at 7 weeks until 10 weeks x

Ps ask to have your progesterone levels checked - mine were only 5.9 on day of transfer so I was switched from lubion to prontogest and my levels went to 93 x

Thanks everyone. Defo going to check with my midwife then

Does anyone know what my progesterone level should be at week 8?

I would go with your clinic’s advice or if you have any left you could take them until you run out. You could also tell them you want a longer prescription. The midwife might not be able to help as it’s not routinely prescribed on the NHS. I took mine until 12 weeks but other clinics stop earlier (I didn’t have my levels checked) x

Hi Tina, I know I am the exception here but my clinic gives pressaries up until one day after confirmated pregnancy and they don't test progesterone level either. x

[Mamaofstevie]
