progesterone symptoms

Hi Everyone
I was just wondering if any of you  have been taking progesterone prior to getting a BFP or BFN, and the side effects you had?  I have just started the supplements and typically my body does not like medications and reacts badly.  The day I started taking the progesterone I began having heartburn, headaches,nausea, bloating and bone pain.  Progesterone side effects mimic pregnancy according to my doctor so I'm trying not to read into the symptoms (I can't help but hope)  So please tell me of  your experiances
Thanks

I took progesterone the day I got a bfp.  My major symptom was bloating and decreased libido... augh.  I stopped taking progesterone at 14 weeks and things are back to normal.

I never took the progesterone prior to pg.. only during pg, but when I got pg with my son, heart burn was my earliest symptom.  

best of luck to you.

I had symptoms, but I am not entirely sure if it was the prometrium, the chlomid or a combination of both.  I had really sore breasts, headaches and fatigue.  I hope in your case it's a BFP causing the symptoms...keep us posted and good luck!!!!!!!
