Progesterone/abdo cramps

I'm on progesterone until 12 weeks, currently about 9 weeks I've had abdo pains since I started it which I assumed was a side effect and also makes me quite constipated (sorry tmi) which normally gives me cramps anyway...I wondered if anyone else on progesterone had similar? I have some days it's quite bad particularly the past few days but no bleeding and not all the time.
I had private scans at 6 and 8 weeks and all looks ok thankfully.

Hi love! I could have written this. I'm currently just under 13 weeks, started progesterone at 6 weeks due to previous miscarriage. When I first started taking them I panicked due to the cramps and feeling absolutely awful but I think that's just due to 'inserting' something up there, you know? It definitely eased off and I have no issues with the progesterone now. But yes, I definitely had cramps too for the first, I'd say, 2 weeks-ish. Hopefully it eases for you soon! X

Thanks for your reply! Hoping it will settle (although I have been taking them quite early on as I was under fertility clinic) wishing you the best of luck with the rest of the pregnancy x
