Is anyone having to take intervaginal progesterone?

The test results from my last check up came back and my progesterone levels are low. The doctor gave me intervaginal progestetone. I feel very tired and I'm having trouble keeping up at work. If you are also taking progesterone, is it also making you very tired?

Natural progesterone makes you exhausted anyway. I was on it at 24 weeks and yes, I was tired.

When I had the Mirena for birth control, I was wiped out all the time. It's a normal side effect to a change in progesterone levels.

I was on it until week 14 as I have low progesterone and I conceived through IVF. It did make me extremely exhausted- it's one of the main side effects other than bloating

Yes, I'm on it too! was on progesterone in oil injections and at 8 weeks switched to suppositories 3x per day as I conceived through Ivf. I've been taking it my whole pregnancy so not sure if my symptoms are pregnancy or progesterone, but could totally see the exhaustion!

Oh my gosh YES. I never even thought about it being the progesterone, I was just thinking it was the pregnancy but that makes so much more sense.

Yes.... But also watch what you eat when on it! My doctor warned me your appetite will increase, and to make sure you make healthy food choices. Watch out for empty carbs that will give you less energy make you even more exhausted. I had terrible morning sickness on it.... But was always hungry. Also I didn't listen to watch what you eat....if I felt like eating I'd eat w/e.... I put on so much weight in the first tri. I wish i listened to my ob.
