Pregnant after IF

Did your symptoms change when you stopped progesterone?

I'm getting ready to stop in a few days and am just wondering if I can (hopefully!) expect any of my symptoms to lessen a bit?  Did you have any spotting or other issues when you stopped?  Thanks!

Re: Did your symptoms change when you stopped progesterone?

  • Nope, nothing changed for me at all, at least nothing that I noticed.  No spotting or anything either.  I will say that my symptoms weren't all that bad during first tri, though.  I had some nausea and food aversions, but compared to things I see and hear from others it really wasn't bad, so I might not be the best person to compare to :-)

  • No change in symptoms unfortunately. I think my body had adjusted to the progesterone. No new symptoms though. I didn't spot either.

  • Huge change in symptoms for me, and no spotting.  I still had nausea, but not nearly to the extent I had on progesterone, I finally stopped vomiting, and I wasn't woken up in the middle of the night from breast pain if I happened to move in my sleep (still sore, but not excruciating).  Hope you have some relief too!

    None of my symptoms changed.  (except the sore butt!)  I think by the time I stopped my meds my own hormones had kicked in!

    No real changes for me...if I remember correctly, my discharge eased up a bit and was more clear-colored than it had been.

    ETA: Spelling is gud.
