A member asked:

20 weeks pregnant, my dr adviced to stop the progestrone supplement (dubagest).is it ok to stop?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Darrin Cunningham answered

You can stop: The baby will produce its own hormones to support itself by about 7-14 weeks. I usually will stop Progesterone therapy at 14 weeks with infertility patients.
