Progesterone side effects

This is my second time taking progesterone vag suppositories and this time it is really kicking my butt. The first time I had to take it, I really didn't have any side effects. This time I am really tired every day, even starting to fall asleep at work and I keep getting headaches. Any body have any tips to help? I am exhuasted!

    I literally was just saying to a friend/coworker that I couldn't believe how exhausted I was today and was wondering if it was from my progesterone that I started this morning and then saw your post. I don't have any advise but am looking for some also. I could take a nap on my desk right now.

    I never had a problem when using prometrium after IUIs, but now that I'm using endometrin it is totally kicking my butt!  All of my side effects started a week after I started using them and I'm now 14dp ER and they are just getting worse.  I have been nauseous all day everyday, I've been very crampy (I've been spoiled because I never get cramps), my breasts are extremely sore, I can't stay awake past 9:00, and the last few days I've had very painful gas (TMI, I know, sorry).  I don't know if it's the endometrin or the estrace, but my guess is the endometrin.  It will be completely worth it if this IVF works, but for now I'm not really enjoying it.
    It took 3 1/2 long years, but we finally got our little miracle!
