Crinone/Progesterone Side effects

Other than being tired (which could be due to my crazy schedule), my boobs were killing me from the day after I started (2 days after ER) until a few days ago (about 5dp3dt).  Is this normal for symptoms to subside that like so suddenly?  I am trying not to read too much into it.

    The only side effect that remains fairly constant for me is the tiredness. The sore boobs and cramping and whatever else usually was short-lived in my experience.

    ((DS mentioned))

     

    when i took it 3 years ago when i got pg with my son, i didnt notice any s/e.  so i think you are fine not to read into it.  all i had was that annoying discharge! i really believe in that stuff bc my p4 went from 19 to 14 and then after i started it, it went back up to 19.5 in 2 days...and i started it after my bfp.

    I usually just feel "blahhh" and tired when I'm on progesterone. Some cycles I have breast tenderness and some I don't so I definitely wouldn't read into it. Symptoms can be such a mind F sometimes! GL!

    I also had symptoms come and go.  The only one that stuck around was my rage.  Progesterone is not kind to me (or DH)

    I take prometrium orally after my IUI's and it completely kicks my arse.  Last month I felt completely pregnant, but it ended up being side effects from the stupid progesterone.  Definitely tired and very sore boobs, dizziness, tired, did I mention tired... ugh!! I hate how it tricks you.  Definitely try not to read into it too much!!

    I have been very short with my students recently and I have been blaming it on the end of the year.   Maybe not!

    Not sure if this had to do with crinone or not, but my bloating and cramping went way down around 5dpt, and has come back for 11 & 12 dpt... The boob soreness for me came and went and came back when I started estrace. What I am getting is that IVF is one big mess of confusing symptoms and all we can do is try to hang in there!

    This is generally the same for me as well.

    Sounds normal to me.  I've only been on prometrium and some of the symptoms are the same as being pregnant, since you are on progesterone and this is one of the things that is higher when you are pregnant.
