Hi there

Just wondering if anyone else when they stopped taking there progestorone (mine was 8% crinone gel) at 12 weeks felt any side effects?? I asked clinic if i should wean myself off it as i have read that people do this with the cyclogest but they said no just stop at 12 weeks.

I was ok for the first day as i expect it was still in my system, but after that i have had a constant headache that wont budge whatever i try , i am tired all over again which i was for the first 10 weeks & then got back to normal. I ache all over & i keep getting hot flushes. Maybe it is just pregnacy syptoms which is fine i was just interested if there is anyone else out there that have experienced this at all after stopping the drugs??

Thanks for listening to my ramblings

well i was on cylogest twice a day on a 400mg dose.i started to wean myself off at about just under 11wks and have had bleeding and spotting since 11wks+2days pg which i am still having now.i dont know if this was the deffinate cause but it all happened around that time but could have been due to the placentas taking over.

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know I was on 400mg (if that is what they measure in - can't remember) of progesterone twice a day until 15 weeks. I asked my doctor about weaning off and he said to just stop which I did and never got any side affects.

Good luck,
Lilo

Thanks for your replies

Hayley - I hope your bleeding & spotting stops soon hun & you have a trouble free & worry free rest of your pregnancy.

Lilo - Thanks for letting me know you had no side effects.

I hope these damn headaches of mine go soon.

Hi

I found that by 10 weeks pg I was really moody and tearful and wondered if this was caused by cyclogest. I was told it would be okay to just stop at 11 wks but began to wean off instead.  I had a bleed then and have been spotting on and off ever since too but dont think this is due to cyclogest although they can't find a cause.  I think the cyclogest could well be causing your headaches although I have also found that my headaches increased in the first couple of wks of second trimester but seem better now.  Not sure if this any help at all!
