I'm on progesterone since the start because of some early spotting. Now in 13th week and wondering till when this continues. Doc didn't say a clear date so thoda confused. When did you all stop?
Usually, progesterone supplements are stopped around the 12th to 14th week because the placenta begins producing its own hormones by then. However, every pregnancy is unique and some might need it longer. Please don't stop it on your own; always let your gynecologist make that call.
Actually, most gynacs ask you to stop progesterone around the 12th week or after the NT scan. I was so relieved to stop those daily pills, yaar! But seriously, don't stop them on your own, wait for your doc's green signal.
I had to take progesterone support up to the end of my first trimester, around 12 weeks, when the placenta took over. Now my baby is a busy toddler running around the house! Trust your doctor, they will tell you exactly when your body is ready to stop it.
During my first trimester, I was on progesterone tablets and I felt so terrified when my doctor finally told me to stop them at 13 weeks. I felt like the tablets were keeping my baby safe, but everything went completely fine. It is normal to feel nervous, but your body is stronger than you think.
I understand how scary it feels to think about stopping any medication when you're pregnant, especially progesterone. I used to panic and think my pregnancy would fail if I stopped. But trust me, once the placenta is formed, your body takes over beautifully, so just follow your doc's plan.
Generally, doctors suggest stopping it once the first trimester is successfully completed. Just keep your mind peaceful, stay positive, and do your daily prayers. Everything is in God's hands and your little one will be safe.
