When did 2nd tri begin, according to your OB?

[cherryvalance]

I forgot to ask mine, but I'm 13 weeks today!

I'm not sure what the real answer was but I went with 13 weeks. But I didn't feel "safe" just because I was in second tri.

[cherryvalance]

Immediately deflated, lol.

I was going through a barrage of tests and scans just about every week at that point with A (plus was still so, so sick), so I'm not sure I even noticed whether or not it was 2nd tri. But I think 13 weeks is a good time to declare yourself in 2nd tri! Congrats!

I went by 13 weeks. Don't remember what OB said.

For 3rd tri starting, the doc told me congrats at 27 w, but they start every 2 week appts (and other Ob in practice goes by) 28 weeks. I like the first doc better

[oneslybookworm]

congratulations!!! i would consider 13 weeks a good mark for 2nd tri!

13.3333333... weeks. 40/3. I think my OB said second trimester started at 13 weeks, and third tri started at 28 weeks (27.6666... rounded up).

I know some things online say making it THROUGH week 13, but my RE said to do my progesterone shots through first tri, and told us our last shot would be 12+6 - So I considered 13+0 to be second tri.

CONGRATS! It's a great milestone <3

I hit 27 weeks a few days ago and decided that counts as third tri I also counted 13 weeks as second.

14 weeks. Progesterone the whole damn time. Ugh.

You poor thing! I finished mine at 10 weeks and my butt is just starting to lose tenderness.

ugh, my ass was literally falling apart for weeks. It must have been the alcohol pads every day. My skin was just falling apart. I should have been smarter and lotioned it up each day. But thankfully a few days of Neosporin really helped. If I press hard on the area, it's still a little sore. These kids better appreciate all we do for them

I don't know own but I get to stop estrogen and progesterone at 12 weeks! Yay!

[pooh8402]

My RE and OB told me I could stop progesterone when I ran out, which was 11 weeks and change. It was vaginal suppositories too, which rocked.
