Stopping progesterone and feel low!

[Chattycatt]

Hi all,

just looking for some reassurance I guess. I started progesterone pessaries twice a day at 7 weeks as I started bleeding (had a previous miscarriage). I was EXHAUSTED and so bloated on them and was super excited when I took the last one at 17 weeks.

What’a taken me by surprise is that since stopping them I feel really low and down. Totally different to when I was on them. All my physical symptoms are tremendously better but I’m walking around in the day wondering why I feel low! Very apathetic and irritated. I’m 18 weeks this week.

anyone experienced this?

thanks

I'm at 14 weeks and still on mine, biut i dropped down to one a day at night becaiuse i wasn't able to stand the tiredness any more. I'm also less bloated now, but since dropping down to one a day I've been really really low too! I have been really surprised by it, but it must be the hormones somehow

Congratulations! The tiredness is horrendous on them - I’m not napping anymore since coming off!! wow good to know - it must be a side affect
