Stop taking progesterone?

Do progesterone suppositories contribute to nausea? I took it for the first trimester with my daughter because my levels were low. I was put on it this pregnancy, then results showed my progesterone levels were fine. I decided to continue taking them as a "just in case" measure, but I feel so terrible that I'm considering stopping them if they cause increased pregnancy symptoms.

  • I wouldn't stop taking it without the go ahead from your doctor. I have heard they can intensify those pregnancy symptoms from friends who had to take it.

  • I *think* HCG is what causes nausea. Progesterone causes the bloating, gas, and sore boobs. But, as PP said, I'd talk to your doc. Your levels may be fine because you're taking it...
