Progesterone suppositories...when did side effects start...if any at all??

[babytee]

I'm 5 weeks preggo today and I started spotting last week when I went to the doctor (11/1) so due to a prior m/c, she put me on progesterone suppositories- 100mg once at bedtime. She said they might make me feel icky but so far I've been okay other than the sore bbs that started yesterday. Just curious if these were my normal symptoms of pregnancy or is it a late side effect of the progesterone?  Any experience??

Hi,  I'm a little over 5 weeks pregnant and had my HCG tested this AM and am anxiously waiting for the results.  I have cramping and some reddish spotting today so I'm quite worried.  I have been on 200 2x/day progesterone suppositories since 3 days after ovulation.  I'm wondering if this could be a chemical pregnancy that the progesterone is delaying happening?  Hopefully not, but I've had 3 miscarriages in the last year so it's tough to be positive.... Has anyone had a chemical pregnancy while on progesterone supplements?   Jen

I began the suppositories Weds. - the day after my "3 day timed intercourse" days =)  I didn't know you had to lie down after -- so I feel a lot of wetting, will try laying down next time =)  I find out if preg on the 15th, so let's hope it worked.  My infertility doctor prescribed the progesterone due to 2 past miscarriages -- apparently I just can't hold the pregnancies.  Thanks for all the comments -- so helpful!

Do any of you know if progesterone can make your period start earlier? I'm having very mild spotting (light pink to brownish) and my period is schedule to arrive on Sunday. I'm always consistent. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My doctor put me on 100mg at bedtime also, my side effects started right away. Before the progesterone I felt sick and threw up once in a while. Once I started them though, it was almost instantly I started throwing up every hour or whenever I ate or drank anything. I also felt tired all the time and generally just felt ****** and cranky. I forgot to take them and all those symptoms practically went away, as soon as I took them again they were back. So like I said my side effects were right away and pretty bad, but I think it was because my progesterone wasn't very low to begin with, 14.7 I'm told they like it to be at least 15.

Hi,  I had IUI and was taking Menopur injections and now on prometrium (progesterone) suppositories. I also feel little twinges, sore bbs and bloating. I guess these are side effects from the progesterone??? I was hoping they were pregnancy symtoms...but maybe not. I test on Wednesday, Dec. 3.

Hell there, I too am taking progesterone suppositories. I have had cramping and sore bbs.  I had in-vitro with icsi on witha transfer of 3 embryos on Nov.20.  since then I'm trying to saty calm but I just can not do it.  I am waiting to do a Blood test on Mon.Dec 1 to see if I'm pregnant or not.  But I still feel like I am getting my Period.  I have to say it is nice to see other woman having the same/similar effects as myself.
Thank-you Ladies.
