PIO and GI distress

Anyone have stomach issues while on the PIO? My stomach just feels so torn up this time - today it was so bad I had the shakes. I'm pretty sure it's the PIO because it feels like the kind of stomach upset / cramping I get right before my period but times 50.

  • Yikes! So sorry to hear it. That sounds horrible. I know it's the weekend but is it possible to check with your RE or nurse? I don't have any advice but I hope it resolves soon. Would Tylenol help? Good luck.

  • Sorry I'm a little late to this. TMI warning, but I was on Crinone for progesterone and had horrible constipation issues! Beyond uncomfortable and not like anything I've ever dealt with before. Apparently GI issues are common with taking progesterone. I ended up calling RE and they prescribed something to help things along. Not fun, but when in doubt I'd call to check in with your RE or nurse. Good luck and feel better!
