Ladies who were on progesterone supplements

I had IVF and I'm currently 11 weeks. My infertility doctor called me a little while ago and said that this morning progesterone level came back at 11.2 and he told me to stop taking the progesterone suppositories. I'm so nervous to stop thought because my levels have typically been around 8. I feel like 11.2 is still low. They said anything over 10 is acceptable. I'm thinking of just continuing the supplements until I see my OBGYN on Monday. How high were your progesterone levels around this point and when did you stop taking your supplements?

Crashing-By now your body is making it more. I remember stopping at 11 weeks with my girls also.

I would gradually slow it down for the next couple of weeks. Reduce to two times a day for a week, then once a day for a week.

Mine was around 15. By that point the placenta takes over. I stayed on it until I was 13 weeks bc I was on vaca and couldn't be monitored. I was on pio. If you're on a supp, then it's not reflected in your blood anyway.

I was on them with DS and stopped them completely at 12 weeks and did the same for this pregnancy. I wouldn't worry, the placenta really does take over

I have no idea what my levels were but I stopped at 8 weeks. I read a study where they stopped progesterone at 5 weeks and there was no increase in miscarriages.

I am not sure of my levels but I stopped at 11 weeks. I was nervous about it too. But it's probably time.. The nice thing is once you stop your no different from every other preggo.
