Progesterone /Estrogen Side Effects

Hi ladies!

 I had a hyst/lap done on September 28th and have had to take estrogen since (nice mood swings!) I just got my uterine balloon out today (NOT FUN!) and have to start taking progesterone today until the end of the month!

 What fun side effects can I expect from the progesterone?  Anything?? :)

    For me I'm struggling with weight gain. I gained 6 pounds in my 2ww and I was SO GOOD with my eating. I've been earring mostly fruits and vegetables and only healthy, whole grain carbs, and I just keep gaining. I'm nervous. Thyroid checked out ok, so it's got to be the hormones.

    Maybe this is TMI, but since two days after my IUI, I've been on progesterone suppositories and I have had major bathroom issues. I've just not been as regular as I normally am, not full on constipated, but I can definitely tell it's not what it was. All will be worth it, though, if I get a BFP! Good Luck!

    Mostly, it makes me kinda moody and tired with the progesterone.  The estrogen just made me nauseous.

    I'm not sure if it's from the PIO and/or Estrace or not, but I've been having cramps the last few days. I've been on PIO and Estrace for almost 2 weeks now.
