Can progesterone make your eyes swell up?

I started on 40mg on the 21st Dec.

It is a reducing dose by 5mg a week.

By the end of the first week I could see a difference in my eyes and face. My eyes a very puffy as are my cheeks. I look awful!

Everything I have read just refers to ‘moon face’ which apparently happens after a couple of months not weeks.

I have had the same treatment a few years ago and this did not happen. I am starting to worry there is something else going on.

Has this happened to anyone else?!

You should probably go and speak to your doctor about that. I've been on 800mg (+25mg through injection) for weeks now and while I've got nausea, my face hasn't swollen.
