Progesterone supplements- when to stop and has your pregnancy been okay without it?
Hi, I’m currently 11W5D and I’ve been put on the progesterone supplement since 7w as the baby was measuring smaller than it should have at that point. I had a repeat scan at 9W and the baby was fine so my doctor prescribed me to continue the progesterone supplements until 12W and then stop it.
Did you guys stop it at 12W and the pregnancy was fine ? Do you get a test to confirm that the pregnancy is going fine and you don’t need the supplements anymore ? I’m just very worried to stop and have it be the most detrimental thing I’d have done for my pregnancy.
I was in India during the scans and when my doctor prescribed the supplements and I’ve now moved to the UK and not sure on how to go about these here ? Please help.

Hey I completely understand the fear. I was told to stop after 12 weeks as well as the placenta starts to produce enough for the baby but because I was so worried I continued taking it until 16 weeks
I was told to stop at 16 weeks xx
I took them from 6-7 and then 10-16 weeks

I stopped progesterone at 12 weeks and I’m currently just over 33 weeks :) I had 4 miscarriages prior to this pregnancy so I totally understand the fear, I was scared too. My fertility doctor said to contact her if I experienced any bad cramping or bleeding after being off it but nothing happened and I’ve been having a very textbook normal pregnancy!
