  I'm on progesteron suppositories and I am moody, tired and always hungry. Sometimes I feel myself about to snap but try my best to hold it in since I know it's the progesterone.

  I am on progesterone suppositories. I have had them on all three cycles now and all they give me are the false pregnancy symptoms.-bloating, sore boobs. But no mood swings. Oh, and this is the first for me, I have been having hot flashes this cycle. Not fun. I am usually the cold one.

  I get some breast tenderness but that's about it.  None of the meds that I've been on throughout all of this IF garbage have made me particularly moody.  I had one bout of crying a couple days ago, but not related to progesterone.  Hope you feel better soon!

  I get the rage if perturbed too much while on Progesterone. I'm not normally a PMSy sufferer so it's alarming. 

  
  

  I also can't get enough sleep while on it.

  I'm on supps and they make me a crazy b***, especially at the end of my cycle.  I had a full-blown meltdown yesterday afternoon.  I drove the 20 minutes home from Target sobbing my eyes out because I had just bought pregnancy tests.  Then I sobbed for 15 minutes more at home.  My first month on them wasn't so bad, but this month was terrible.

  
  

  I also get super-bloated to where I can barely wear my pants and am exhausted but have terrible insomnia.  When I wasn't on them, I got sore boobs every month, but with them, no sore boobs ever.  Go figure.

  
  

  Bottom line: they suck.

  Cramps, hot flashes, and tired here on suppositories.  Oral progesterone for me was worse - moody, sore, bloated - the whole nine yards.

  thanks for all the lovely responses ladies!  It makes me feel more "normal"
  
  ...just curious, how much progesterone do you take?  I take a 50mg supp once a day.  I know my side effects could be so much worse, but it caught me off guard!

  I take 100 mg orally twice a day. I've also felt dizzy, hot flashes, hungry & constipated. Hmmm... wonder why I feel moody. Ha ha!

  yes... the symptoms vary from cycle to cycle and even day today....  this cycle I had significant nausea I never had last cycle. 
  
  If you have  pregnancy symptoms then you should get a positive on a FRER. It is possible at 10dpiui but a bit early. 
  
  I would start testing since we can't tell you what your symptoms mean your pregnant or not.  Good luck
