Feeling poorly on progesterone? 7weeks

Hi ladies. So I'm 7 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I've had quit a lot of symptoms leading up to this but I started progesterone on Monday, I take 400mg twice a day and have to insert the capsule into my lady parts!

Since Monday, I'd say starting on Tuesday, I've just felt awful. I have no colour in my face, I'm so fatigued and just feel down right run down. I know these can just be symptoms of pregnancy in general but I was wondering how progesterone made others feel?

I'm so emotional and just feel overall really strange, like kind of anxious, kind of overwhelmed but very low energy, nauseous, not sleeping great, headaches... sorry to go on!

I'm more than happy to be taking the progesterone after a loss and I know it's a huge blessing to be pregnant and feeling these things... it's just a bit pants when you're not feeling too grand

Anyone else?

I have just stopped progesterone and I felt exactly the same! As soon I’ve stopped them all the symptoms went away. It’s definitely hard going whilst you’re taking them, but so worth it in the long run. Hopefully it starts to settle once your body adapts to all the extra hormones! Xxx

I can remember feeling super tired, I wasn't sure if it was down to the standard pregnancy symptoms or if the progesterone was making me more tired. It probably was looking back!

Definitely nap when you can, I napped and went to bed at my toddlers bedtime, was shattered. But improved once I hit 2nd trimester x
