After 14 weeks: Supplemental Progesterone is often continued until 12 weeks past the last menstrual period. It does not need to be weaned. These quesationsz should be reviewed with your OB doctor, who decisions are the most relevant to you, not online.

Talk to your doctor: This is too individualized a problem to be answered safely and correctly over the internet. Talk with your prescribing OB for a specific and personalized opinion. Don't change anything until you talk to them.
