Progesterone suppositories

[kallieJ]

Anyone on progesterone suppositories? Just wondering what side effects you have had.

Currently feeling so bloated, I look about 3 months pregnant when I'm only 5 weeks! The fatigue is intense too, I could sleep all day.

Yup, all of these and then for some reason, it also increased my anxiety but the worst of it is the constipation. You have to load up on fibre!

That's funny you mentioned anxiety, I never even put two and two together but I have been so anxious. I just put it down to normal early pregnancy anxiety but it does feel a lot more intense.

The bloating is making me not feel hungry at all. Very unlike me!

The pregnancy bloat while having these is ridiculous! Im 6 weeks and 3 days and one of the girls was like omg you've got a bump! Like no im just v bloated😂
I csnt get over how bad these make you bloat!

I had some bloating at 9-10 weeks, especially in the evening, I looked quite pregnant but a few weeks on and it's eased off and I'm still in my usual jeans and don't look pregnancy any more

Good to hear others are in the same boat! Have you lost your appetite too? I just feel so bloated and full all the time I don't fancy eating.

I'm just tapering off these now.

I would say I was quite irritable and more emotionally volatile than usual (anxious, but also periodically raging angry), which I really hated. I have also got loads more acne/rosacea than usual.

Now that I'm tapering the dose, I've had a grim headache all week, but not sure if this is related.

I had some bloat initially between 7-9 weeks, and had a lot of food aversions in this pregnancy, but not sure if the progesterone contributed to that. I’ve had no appetite whatsoever since I found out I was pregnant.

I’ll (hopefully, please God) be on it until 36 weeks, so I just accept the long slog and hope it brings my baby, alive and full-term, to my arms.
