Progesterone sucks

amyfelice

I don't like being on a hormone that makes me feel pregnant and then not being pregnant. It's like adding insult to injury. I get to suffer but i don't get to have the joy. the depressed feeling passed thankfully, but now I'm just tired and hungry all the time, lol. I am at day 13 post and BFN. There's still a faint ray of hope but not much. So do I keep taking this stuff until I get AF? Or do you have to stop before AF will come? I can ask my doctor tomorrow.

No advice...just offering a hug. Sorry you have to go through this.

I am sorry. I know exactly what you mean. I stopped taking them once I got the BFN (and subsequent negative beta)

It totally sucks. I remember all too well.  I usually stopped taking them when I knew AF was due. (So 14dpo for me).    Hugs.  (And hope too)

I think taking the P4 will keep AF away. So you stay on it until you are confirmed NOT pregnant. At that point, you'll stop and AF will come within a few days later.

That's what I thought. so I'll give it until tomorrow but I'm sure I'm not pregnant. Thanks all. I figured it would keep it from coming. I'll confirm with my dr tomorrow. I feel a little better today. My insomnia problem is compounding the fatigue, but last night was really great sleep wise.

I am sorry Amy. I was really hoping this would be your cycle.

My doctor told me to take Progesterone for 2 weeks (I'm on Day 3 of it now), then stop taking it so that AF comes. She actually only prescribed 14 days worth of pills.
