HcG Trigger & Progesterone - Side Effects?

in Trouble TTC
Anyone have any side effects from these meds? 

IUI #1 was on Friday, felt like I've had a fever all day. Otherwise feel fine, just feverish. (not the same as the Clomid hot flashes, almost like I am sick.) Anyone else experience this?

    Haven't taken progesterone but the trigger I took made me feel rough. I had hot flashes like you wouldn't believe, nausea, super sore breasts, bloating, you name it I had it. I am 7 days past my trigger and feel much better though the fatigue and sore breasts have remained..

    TMI: Triggered yesterday and today I remembered, oh yeah I that's what this constipation is coming from (got it last two times I triggered, too).

    One triggered LP I had tons of PMS symptoms (boobs, nausea, bloating, exhaustion) but the other I didn't, so not sure it was the hCG.

    Yeah - just took my temp and about 3 degrees above normal. Looks like I will be making a call to the RE tomorrow.  

    Really hope I'm not getting sick... God help me if I have to deal with that on top of the emotional craziness going on these days! Plus we are moving this week, so getting sick is not an option right now. 

    Chalk this up as a first for me - actually wishing for a med side effect!

    The trigger shot usually gives be sensitive breasts, which are intensified by progesterone
    I also tend to feel warm on progesterone, feel sluggish, but also have difficulty sleeping
    I hope you're not sick!

    All RPL and IF testing with multiple REs = normal

    5 IUIs = BFN

    Trigger/progesterone SE gives me sensitive breast, bloating & nausea. I really hope you're not getting sick. Moving and extra dust kicking up plus the stress is a recipe for getting sick on it's own. Feel better

    My trigger hated my body. It caused a huge reaction, super red (almost a dollar size), very painful (couldn't move my stomach), and was very hot to touch. Other than that, I didn't experience anything different. Sorry, no experience with progesterone.

    Thanks ladies! 

    Still feeling fine, yet running a temp..... figuring this means I am not sick. I also have a case of the "no sleeps" with Progesterone, so gonna chalk this one up to drug reactions.
