When to stop progesterone ?

Hey guys I’m currently on 400mg of Progesterone which I was told to take until 16 weeks. When do you stop using it ? Dead on 16 weeks or did you wait till you past 17 weeks ? I’m almost apprehensive to come off it as I feel it’s been a bit of a comfort blanket to reach this stage in my pregnancy.

Has anyone used this contraception before? How did you find it? I’ve tried a few different pills and they’ve not really worked for me, but a friend from Lithuania recommended this. I thought it was a bit strange as I’ve never been offered this as an option from my GP before, but you can get it on the NHS. Any extr...
