    I cant remember when i stopped my pessaries but when i stopped them i than went onto progesterone injections as apparently they are far more effective - i had regular blood test to check my progesterone levels, and finally at 24wks i think it was i got too stop the injections!!!!!

    I think it may also depend on whether you did a fresh cycle or a FET.

    I think the placenta takes over P4 (progesterone) production from about week 10, but I am sure there are others with more concrete info.

    Congrats again on your pg!
    Feel free to jump in the Pg after LTTTC discussion thread and share your journey with others in similar circumstances.

    Hi everyone,

    Thankyou all for getting back to me and sorry for the delay in replying. Work is crazy and I am going to bed at 7pm every night! Thankyou for putting my mind at rest. It is good to know that 10 weeks is normal. I was worrying for no reason!

    I stopped mine at 10 weeks also - mine was a FET transfer. I believe that the placenta is taking over hormonal control at that time. It is scary finishing them - I found they were like my safety blanket.

    At 10 weeks dropped from morning and night to just night for a week, then every second night for a week, and that was it. We conceived naturally after years of IVF but FS kept me on pessaries just to be sure

    Janie - I hear you. Today is the day I stop and I am very nervous about it!
    Ellie - congrats to you on a natural after all that IVF. What a great success story!

    Thank you again for everyone's feedback. I will be neurotically taking my temperature every morning for the next 30 weeks looking for a drop. I hope this anxiety drops off eventually!
