  I'm always super tired and nauseated when I'm on prometrium, especially for the first few days. Ugh. Hopefully you feel better!!

  Same here, I've been extra tired lately. I usually don't nap during my commute to and from work, but I've been sleeping almost the whole way there and back every single day. I'm also feeling like a slug at work, I'm ready ti hibernate until this process is over.

  Last cycle I was so tired on the Prometrium (suppositories). No matter what I did all I wanted to do was sleep.
  

  
  

  Diagnosed with PCOS March '10 - Started 1000mg of Metformin
  After 3 unsuccessful Clomid cycles, FSH+Ovidril+IUI+Progesterone=BFP!
  

  Time to make Emilie a big sister!

  May '16 2.0: Letrozole+FSH+Menopur+Ovidril+IUI+Progesterone=BFP! first beta-45.44, second beta-148
