progesterone insert question

[LisaRG]

Hello Ladies,
For anyone that has taken progesterone suppositories 200mg.  How early did you experience symptoms of fatigue , breast tenderness and shortness of breath.  I am 5 dpo and already feeling it.  Skin looks great though!

Hi Yvette,
Yes its the progesterone - weather your body makes it naturally or you use suppositories.  That's the hormone that we have so much of in early pregnancy.  It helps sustain the pregnancy until the placenta has time to grow and take over - about 3 months into the pregnancy.
If your pregnant then all you can really do about it is rest.

Do you think it's the progesterone that makes you feel so fatigue?   I felt the fatigue pretty early on...at least 14 days past egg retrieval.  I've also got shore breasts.

I do have a short LP.  I took them for low progesterone in my last pregnancy, which ended in m/c anyway.    I did have nausea with them, but didn't notice any skin problems.

Did you get heartburn , nausea and sore skin as well ( skin had looked good, but now I am getting red spots ans some soreness.)?
Did they help you ttc?  Did you have a short LP.
Thanks,
Lisa

i felt it within two days of starting them, and they wiped me out, made me so tired.  i did not get breast tenderness, but i think that is a common side effect.
