Progesterone side effects

I’m on my first week of progesterone and I feel horrendous. Zero energy and terrible bloat. Does it get better? The estrogen was side effect free.

Research taking it vaginally. Commonly prescribed in this way in other countries.

I can’t take the Usterogen at all.

I’ve tried taking it vaginally. I’ve tried taking it 2/12 weeks.

im recovering now from just 5 days on it. My energy plummeted, im exhausted, bloated, crampy, very depressed.

i don’t recognise myself on progesterone.

I don’t know what to do.
