Low Progesterone

Before I conceived, my progesterone levels were always extremely low, so I have been on Crinone.  I am now 13 weeks and my doctor says that it's ok to get off of it, but I'm so worried about my levels plummeting down even though I know the placenta is supposed to be taking care of that now.

 

For those who have had progesterone issues and have been on progesterone, when did you get off of it or when are you going to get off of it?

I lost 2 babies because of low progesterone, imo.  With this one I went off of it around the same time as you and everything is fine!  GL!

I was on crinone too and my doctor told me to go off at 11 weeks. I wasn't comfortable with that and I had enough to get me through week 12. My doctor said it doesn't hurt anything so I used I all and I was still nervous. I'm almost 16 weeks now. No worries. You will be fine.

I went off at 12w. Your placenta is producing the progesterone your body needs now.

I went off Crinone at 10w4d because it was causing so much irritation I was bleeding.  Crinone (according to my doc) won't show up in bloodwork and when they tested me at that point my level was 30 (pretty much right on for that time period).  I was under 6 at 4 1/2 weeks.  You could always ask for a blood draw before you come off - they should have the results in 24 hours!

Thanks everyone!  I think I am starting to feel better about coming off of it, in that you just have to trust your body to work correctly.  My doctor originally told me to get off of it at 10 weeks and I said no way.  I have enough to take me through almost 15 weeks, so I'm just going to do that!

I went off at 13w3d and I cannot tell any difference at all.  I was afraid that I would have some spotting when I went off, but luckily it was not an issue at all for me. It was hard to stop taking them though.  I considered those little pills my security blanket.  It feels good to know that things are fine now even though I'm no longer taking them.
