Personal opinion on Progesterone

in Trouble TTC

So I was asking a couple of questions last week on starting progesterone and I thought I'd now give my thoughts.  It DID make me more emotional and it is making me bleed a bit more on AF. 

I have always had really light periods and never been one to be very emotional when AF arrives.  In fact working at Target I thought it was nice that I had been de-sensitized to seeing PG women and babies all day long. WRONG!  The first two hours of work yesterday was a total nightmare!  I wanted to cry, and was fighting back tears every minute because I was surrounded by these women and their children!  A few tears did escape now and then but was finally able to get it under control. 

And I'm cramping more.  Now since this is just my first AF after Progesterone supps I can't say it's scientifically accurate, but I thought I'd share for anyone that might be starting them soon too.

    Progesterone makes me a ragin b!tch.  DH has been avoiding talking to me this week because he never knows which version of me he's going to get.

    Oh, and it makes my boobs hurt like CRAZY!

    I didn't cry on it, but it made me soft and mellow. I not once biitched about my boss or my job while on it. But when I went back on BCP that made me a total biatch!!

    Yeah, I was emotional in the morning and biitchy in the afternoon & evening.  I gave DH a warning when he walked in the door from work "I'm in a really bad mood & exhausted.  I bought take and bake food for dinner, you'll eat it and not complain.  Understand?"  I think he got the picture from that of "don't mess with Kati tonight." LOL.

    I'm on them right now...and, I haven't been super emotional - actually the hubs said he's noticed that I'm in a much more relaxed/funny kind of mood.  But, I have noticed an increased appetite...so I'm guessing that's the supps...and from the time I used them before, I don't recall AF being longer or any worse than any other time.

    I agree w/mari...when I had to go back on BCPs due to cysts...those made me absolutely unbearable!!

    I'm emotional around AF but with Progesterone it is worse.  DH said this morning, "OMG, would you get your period already so you stop snapping every time we have a conversation!!!"

    ETA:

    I'm much better since my acupuncture appointment on Monday though.  Over the weekend I was really bad and was quiet upset with how I felt and the things I had said, but the acupuncture really helped me calm down.
