finished progesterone and nervous

[ecinereb]

I finished my progesterone yesterday. I'm so nervous that I'm going to start spotting and lose this baby any minute even though we've seen the heartbeat on u/s twice.
Has anyone else been here?

Oh yeah, I've been there. I stopped at about 9 weeks I think. My doctors all insisted that the placenta takes over at 8-9 weeks and that everything would be fine, and it has been so far. Every little step in the pregnancy has been terrifying, and only now at 32 weeks am I actually starting to think I might get to take home a baby. There's not really anything to help with the nervousness except time. Fx that everything will go well for the rest of your pregnancy!

My RE wanted me to go to 12 weeks with my progesterone. But, shhh... I was a bad patient, and since my levels were fine, and I was so freaking annoyed at waking up in the middle of the night feeling like I peed myself, I stopped them for the most part around 9 weeks. I wouldn't recommend that, only because I truly believe that people should listen to their doctors, but so far so good at (almost) 30 weeks for me.


Good luck and take some deep breaths!

I was freaked out about it. I was told to stop at 12w but I kept going until I ran out at 13w4d or so. I have seen my babies on u/s twice since then (I'm 17w) and all continues ok. I am still really really nervous, but now its just different things... hopefully it will wear off someday. Maybe not until I do have take home babies.
