Meri saas bhi bohot advice deti thi about everything, but medicines ke case mein toh only doctor ki suno! Progesterone kitne time lena hai, ye toh tumhare doctor hi bataenge based on your condition. For me, they stopped it around the second trimester, but everyone's body is different, na?

Progesterone dosage and duration depend completely on your doctor's advice, especially why they prescribed it. Please don't stop or change it yourself. My gynac told me exactly how long to take it, and I stuck to that plan. It's for the baby's safety, so best to be very disciplined.

This is definitely something your doctor will decide based on your specific case and needs. Progesterone is usually prescribed for various reasons, so they'll monitor you and tell you when to discontinue. It's part of the whole medical plan, which includes regular check-ups and sometimes blood tests, so make sure to ask your doctor clearly.

Oh, only your doctor can tell you this for sure, sweetheart! 🧑‍⚕️ It really depends on why they prescribed it in the first place and how your pregnancy is progressing. So just stick to your gynac's instructions completely and don't worry! They'll guide you perfectly. ✨

My doctor had me on progesterone for a few months in the first trimester, mostly to support the pregnancy. My mom was always there to make sure I took my medicines on time. You absolutely must follow what your gynac says about when to start and stop it. They know what's best for you and the baby.
