So I have been on progesterone since 4dpo, I am 7+3 weeks today. My OB put me on progesterone after my early miscarriage because I have low progesterone and a lpd. The suppositories helped my cycles A TON. The third cycle of taking them I got my BFP. My OB has mentioned twice now that she wants me to stop them at 8 weeks which I found odd.
Everything I've read say the luteal placental shift begins between 8-10 weeks. And that the placenta has fully taken over by week 12. I feel like 8 weeks is too soon and that I should atleast go to 10. Of course my biggest fear is that stopping too soon could be too drastic of a drop in progesterone and that it could potentially cause a miscarriage. I've also read that there is naturally a dip in progesterone between 8-10 weeks while the shift is happening.
My OB is young and has only been practicing for two years now. So I don't know if she is just arrogant and uneducated or if being fresh out of school and residency she knows something that I haven't found in my research.
Do any of you have experience with stopping progesterone suppositories? How early, was it cold turkey, and what was the outcome?
Do you have any advice for talking to my OB about this?
I already love my baby so much and would do anything for them to be safe.
