Thread: Progesterone Suppositories side effects

I honestly am not sure why he put me on it this time. lol I did have b/w at 10DPO last month b/c I thought I had a faint BFP. My progesterone was super low at only 4.6 so maybe they're thinking I have low progesterone. Just hoping it helps me get a BFP!!

Lauren, I didn't see that you asked me a question until today.....for some reason I didn't get notified, my apologies.? I started my progesterone on CD 16 which was Sept. 20th.? I've been using it for 6 days and my side effects are: weird dreams and feeling tired.? I can't even stay awake to finish watching my shows at night and usually I don't have any problems with this.? How long have you been taking it for?

I took them for the first 14 weeks of my last pregnancy and they made me really sick.? I was so nauseous, had a ton of headaches, very tired.? Since I was pregnant, I don't know if it was all pregnancy, or all progesterone, but my dr told me that the progesterone would amplify the pregnancy symptoms and make them worse.? I believe the suppositories saved my pregnancy, and I have heard that they do help people conceive if they normally...

A friend of mine took them...I don't know about her side effects, but she had triplets!!? Two identical boys and one girl, so the suppositories evidentally allowed her to drop two eggs, and one split.? Best of luck to you!

They make you tired... but, again, that could just be from actual PG! :)

Can I ask why your doctors put you on progesterone? My OB offered it to me to take after O, and I am trying to decide whether to try it or not. He doesn't believe that testing P before you are PG tells you much, so I don't know my levels are low. However, I do have old age, a shortish LPs and spotting pointing in that direction. Thanks! (I took P from about 4.5 weeks PG last time and didn't notice any particular side effects,...

I took them for 14 weeks when I was pg with my son. I just remember having to wear a panty liner.
