Dr, Q- quick follow up questiong

May 13, 2008

I read in another post where you wrote that most docs discontinue the use of the progesterone supplements after the 10th week..

Mine said I could stop anywhere from week 10-12. Is there harm in continuing until week 12? When is it safe for anyone to assume that the placenta has taken over?

Lori, you are still doing progesterone shots? Holy smokes. I know I have to do them 14 days for sure after ivf transfer..but if pregnant..wonder if I will continue it too? I know my progesterone isn't an issue..and its all just for precaution..hmm.

yes kelli, if you are preggo with most IVF transfers they will make you continue to take them until you are 12 weeks preggo! How use to those shots are you lori? Are you takin 2CC's a day?

lucky! we are takin intermuscular shots! My butt was numb last time with them but i will gladly take them for 12 weeks if it means a baby!! :)

OUUUUUCH! Sorry yall! Its not so pleasant shoving a little capsule up "there" twice a day- but not painful- just gross!!

yeah, actaully i took those when i had my IUI's and i would rather take the injections. Really, sounds silly but i hated that stuff leaking out every night! lol :)
