What’s your PIO plan?
My clinic has me stopping PIO and estrogen patches cold turkey at 9 weeks 5 days. Thought it’s odd timing. Why not 9 or 10 weeks exactly. Also I hear some people “wean off” of synthetic hormone treatment? What does your clinic tell you to do?

I stayed on PIO everyday until 10 weeks then every other day until 12 weeks. Same dosage. Then nothing. Baby was fine last check up at 14 weeks.
Hi… I am 9 weeks tomorrow…I was first started on 1ml every night, last week after bloodwork I was weaned to 0.75ml, and when I went 2 days ago I was weaned to 0.25 ml. I have also been weaning off of estrogen pills as well. By next week I should be fully off medication

Hi, at 8 weeks I was discharged from the ivf clinic and just referred to regular NHS, the ivf clinic told me to use whatever progesterone I have left, and then just stop completely. I did, and then after 3 days I started bleeding. We contacted the early pregnancy unit and they got me in for a scan at 9 weeks 3 days. All was absolutely fine, but having suffered miscarriages before, I was very anxious. They prescribed me progesterone until 16 weeks, apparently the research only shows that taking progesterone lowers risk of miscarriage UP TO 8/9 weeks. But there is no harm in taking it for longer.
