TTC After a Loss

Progesterone

I started taking vaginal suppositories (100 mg 2x a day) of progesterone yesterday and I?m wondering how soon the side effects can appear. As of now I?ve only taken 3 doses but I swear I?m more hungry and tired ? is this just in my mind or can it really be the progesterone? TIA for your help!

Re: Progesterone

  • No, not in your mind. I was always tired and nauseous after a couple of days of prog.
    02/08 BFP resulted in m/c 4/10/08 (11 weeks)
    10/08 Clomid Cycle #1 = m/c 11/7/08 (6 weeks)
    03/09 Clomid Cycle #2 = BFN
    3 rounds of Femara + Ovidrel + IUI =BFN
    10/18/09 2nd Break Cycle (post HSG) before IVF #1 = BFP!

  • I was so tired after taking 2 doses of progesterone (200mg twice a day) that I called my nurse. She suggested cutting back to 1 a day orally. Me being concerned about a possible baby stuck out the 2 times a day vaginally. I wasn't as tired as I first was at the beginning, but I didn't have any trouble falling asleep at night!

     

    Call your doctor and see if they suggest you cutting back your dosage or taking them orally instead.
