Symptoms: Real vs. Progesterone

in Pregnant after IF

I am exhausted and hungry...not sure if its because of baby or progesterone.

 

How long did you all take progesterone?

 

Also, when were you first able to see baby's heartbeat?

 

Thanks! :)

    I took PIO through the end of my 9th week.  We saw the baby's heartbeat for the first time at 6w1d and heard it at our 10w1d appointment.

    I took Prometrium through 12 weeks.

    We saw the baby's heartbeat at the second u/s at 7 weeks on the nose.

    I am on progesterone until next Wednesday (have been since 10/13) - saw and heard the heartbeat this morning. I think my pregnancy symptoms really showed a few days before my first beta.

    I took vaginal Prometerium 200mg twice a day until 11 weeks. However, it was not a medicated cycle that got me pregnant, I took it only because my P4 was slightly low at 19DPO and I had spotting, so my RE just said "why not".

    It's hard to tell when you are on Progesterone what is the med and what is normal pregnancy symptoms. My breasts did finally get sore when on it, but nothing terrible. I had a few waves of nausea at the 7-8 week timeframe, but nothing terrible.

    My first u/s was at 6w4d and we could see the HB (119bpm) and hear it.

    I took progesterone through the end of 10 weeks.  The only side effect I remember was being really tired but that could be pregnancy too.

    We first saw the heartbeat at 6w5d.

    I was on progesterone suppositories through the 11th week of my pregnancy.  I definitely had pregnancy symptoms that were not caused by the progesterone, but they didn't really start until the 6th week. 

     We first saw the baby's heartbeat at our first ultrasound, which was at 6 weeks.

    I took Crinone through week 12.

    We saw both the heartbeats at 6w2d. (Originally at 6w, we only saw 1 heartbeat!)

    Progesterone made me REALLY tired, but I was tired withmy first pregnancy and didn't use them.. so I'm not much help!

    They had me stay on them for 13 weeks.

    I am currently on Progesterone suppositories through next week.

    I saw the HB at 6 weeks, 3 days.  And heard the HB at 10 weeks, 2 days.

    Pregnancy in general will make you really tired, so it could be both.  Just get some extra sleep.
