Has anyone taken or taking these during pregnancy, if so how was you & your symptoms. Thanks :)

On it now. It is hard to tell what’s a symptom of pregnancy and what’s a symptom of the Cyclogest but:

headaches
shortness of breath
fatigue

@SomeMonstersEatTellyThank you, I have just started taking them today, even though it states symptoms are mild I just wanted to know, sounds just like pregnancy symptoms maybe? How many weeks are you if you don’t mind me asking? Thankyou for your feedback x

Yes I took them from 6 weeks until 16 weeks. No symptoms that I noticed other than I broke out along my jawline and down my neck. Didn’t associate it with being on progesterone until about a week after I’d stopped it I noticed my skin had cleared up and has been fine since. But other than that nothing else!

Took them for 12w each on both pregnancies.
My symptoms from cyclogest were extra gas and bloatedness. 2nd time round i also got a bit of itching so moved to rectal insertion instead.
