Progesterone - bleeding- diarrhea

Hello, I am looking for a bit of advice/any similier experiences.
I started taking progesterone vaginally two weeks ago however I had a huge bleed with clots and assumed the worst. My previous loss was in May this year. The nurse scanned me and couldn't find any reason for the bleed however suggested it could be the irritation of the pessery vaginally. I then switched to rectally and I do still have spotting mainly when I wipe but nothing heavier, does any one else have this and also have awful diarrhea on them too! Most other side effects mimic pregnancy but jeez these are rough! 🧡🌈

Hello,

Just wanted to say I had the exact same side effects, but they did settle down after a couple of weeks. Ive been on these a lot as had failed IVF cycles and now a successful one and the side effects did stop thankfully!

Amazing on your success! Did you have the bleeding as well?
I struggle to find similier stories and I'm on every group there is so you just want someone to say yes I've had same!

I was on these for 12 weeks, advised to take rectally from the start.

I didn't have any spotting, but the diarrhoea and constipation was awful. Only went away 2 weeks after I stopped taking them.

That are rough, but stick with them!
