Anyone ever on progesterone suppositories?

in TTC after 35

Have any side effects?

My hoo-ha is feeling very irritated, and I'm suspecting it's the progesterone.

    Yes.  The side effects can include a variety of things- including itchiness.  My side effects are bloating and exhaustion.  I mean complete, I'll sleep on the floor if I need to, kind of exhaustion.

    Yup.  I'm on them.  I had some slight bleeding last week from the irritation.  I called the nurse freaked out and she told me it was normal. 

    I also get really bad cramps (front and back) from them.  Again, nurse says that's normal.  I'm on them until I get to 12 weeks.  I'm adding this to the list of reasons I want to get thru the 1st Trimester!

    Huh! I was really tired like that the first few days on them. Now, I'm not that tired. But it kinda hurts down there!

    I think I just had the same conversation with a nurse! But I didn't ask about cramps - I figured that was just par for the course. Now I know what to blame.

    Taking a deep breath.

    Thank you.

    I've been on both 200mg and 50mg with no side effects.  I guess I'm lucky.......

    I was on them after my BFP due to 2 early losses. My hoo-ha got more & more irritated and then I got what I was sure was a yest infection (sorry if TMI). Turns out it was the built up goop coming out. Kept coming for 4-5 days- awful. I switched to the progesterone pills and had no problem.
