Progesterone shots

Hi - I currently had a successful IVF and am 5 weeks PG.  I've been on the progesterone shots now for 4 1/2 weeks and this last week I've noticed that the "pockets" of oil are getting larger, as well as the bruising is getting bigger.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Any suggestions to help reduce them?
We go back to the Dr. on Monday so this will definitely be a topic of discussion.

Thanks.

maybe you can convince him to switch you to 100 percent prgesteone powder capsules that you insert vaginally
they worked for me for two of my pregnancies

Congrats on your pregnancy - I didn't have pockets of oil but one thing I did was use a heating pad or had my husband massage the area after the injection - try that and see if it works -jennifer
