Prometrium side effects question

This is the 2nd cycle I've been put on Prometrium after an IUI. Last cycle I didn't really have any side effects, although my husband swears that I began much more anxious and emotional. (Which, looking back I can say he was probably right.) This time, however, I'm bloated and my boobs feel heavy and sensitive. This is normal right? I'm pretty sure I've read that you all say progesterone supplements sometimes mimic pregnancy symptoms, but I thought I would double check. Also, for those of you who have experience with progesterone/prometrium, do your side effects change cycle by cycle?

Thanks and happy Tuesday!

    yes you are right. progesterone mimics signs of pregnancy. when I was on prometruim I was exhuated. I used to take it before bed but I had such a hard time getting up in the morning.

    good luck!

    I had all of the classic prometrium symptoms with my last cycle (emotional and physical) and this time it is just the exhaustion.  So, yup, I've seen the SEs change a lot over the two cycles.
