Progesterone side effects?

in Trouble TTC
My RE said my Progesterone is just a little lower than they want it to be. They put me on a lose dose of Progesterone, started it last night. Today I'm nauseous and just feel super tired. Are these normal side effects? Are there any other side effects that come along with Progesterone?

    Hello:

    I was on progesterone suppositories during the TWW (400 mg 2x a day) and did have some bloating and cramps. I also had some hot flashes at night and was a little bit more emotional (cried during some tv shows). The biggest issue I had was when I came off the progesterone. I had severe anxiety and almost had a panic attack. I wrote a post about it a few days ago. I don't know if you will have any anxiety if you will be on the low dose progesterone throughout your cycle. I think I had these anxiety issues because I went from 800 mg of progesterone a day for 14 days to none. Anyways, progesterone side effects really aren't that bad and you will most likely get used to the increased hormone and the side effects will subside. Good luck.

    My first few days of it Piui were tough, I was extremely irritable but I leveled out. I was nauseous yesterday after lunch but it was leftovers so I blame it on my cooking. My RX says it may cause dizziness listed in the side affects, and that may make you feel nauseous.

    My natural progesterone, especially the peak mid-luteal phase, cause nausea and fatigue to the extreme. I was glad the RE did not prescribe more during our treatment cycle. :)

    Ugh, I always break out right before AF, that means I should prepare for that lovely side effect. I also have cramps like AF is coming. I'm ruling out a BFP bc of it but I guess I could feel this way I either way.

    This is my 2nd month on progesterone, just started it today (2 dpiui).  I'm lucky I guess that last month I did OK on it.  I had a few moments where I had a minute of nausea/dizziness that passed.  And I did wake up in the morning with extremely dry mouth (and sometimes feeling dizzy/hungover) but the feeling would pass pretty quickly when I woke up, got a glass of water and got the blood circulating.  My biggest gripe about it though was how messy it was.  Those things leak!  I had to wear a panty-liner at all times (which pretty much ruled out wearing a thong).  
    **Formerly EastBayBride508**

    Me 34   Him 33

    Me - Left salpingo-oophorectomy at 19 due to large cyst/torsion  and 2 large uterine fibroids found at age 30
    Him - Borderline low sperm count (correcting through Fertility Blend supplement)

    Married 8/20/2011
    TTC #1 since Jan 2013
    First appointment with RE 10/2013.  
    April 2014 - Clomid 100mg CD3-7.  HCG shot CD10 IUI #1 done on 4/12/14 (CD12) ....BFN
    May 2014 - Break cycle to repeat saline sonogram and re-group.  Travel to Kauai 5/7-5/12 (Yay!!)
    June 2014 - Clomid 150mg CD4-8.  HCG shot CD14.  IUI#2 done on 6/9 and 6/10 (CD15-16) w/ Prometrium suppositories during TWW .... BFN
    July 2014 - Clomid 150mg CD3-7.  Ultrasound CD12 - 4 mature follies! HCG trigger shot CD12 AM.  IUI#3 on CD13 w/ Prometrium suppositories during TWW ....BFN
    July 2014 - Repeat ultrasound done to measure size of fibroid - 8x9cm (the size of a grapefruit!) Surgery referral made.
    August 2014 - MRI done which revealed 2 fibroids: a 13x15cm fibroid as well as an 8x7cm one.  Super freak out mode over surgery plan.  OB-GYN/surgeon said surgery would most likely have to be a laparotomy (open abdominal surgery)
    August 2014 - After a 2nd opinion, plan to take Lupron x 2 months to shrink fibroids then laparoscopic/robotic myomectomy.  Surgery date is set for Nov 21st!  
    November 2014 - Robotic myomectomy done (2 large fibroids removed, mild endo found).  Benched x 3 months
