Anyone on progesterone suppositories?

[Amos2009]

If so- what are your pregnancy symptoms? The only symptoms I am having are sore boobs and nausea, but now I am talking myself into believing this is from the progesterone and not the pregnancy. I just feel like something is wrong and the progesterone is masking it....

Hi, that was what I had too, sore boobs and nausea. I was on progesterone until 10 weeks. Am not 13.5 weeks and haven't vomited a single time.

Progesterone made my symptoms a little worst. Nausea was stronger, felt more exhausted. Other symptoms include bloating, dizziness and blurred vision.

Don't worry too much, I didn't have as many symptoms as many ladies do. So you could be the same.

I've been on progesterone since 2 DPO so I have no idea what is due to the pregnancy and what is due to the progesterone. I know during the 2ww I was very very tired which was unlike me, but I read that progesterone could do that, also my boobs were very sore and again the progesterone definitely caused that in the beginning. I'm just over 9 weeks today and still have the sore boobs, fatigue and only the last 2 weeks has nausea kicked in, so I'm guessing that is from the pregnancy, otherwise it would have been around all the time.

I had the same fears that the progesterone was masking a mmc but have been reassured with 3 scans and a heartbeat each time. So hang in there, I'm sure everything is fine. You're giving your little one the best shot you can by taking the progesterone, unfortunately everything else is out of our hands and it's just a waiting game now.

I wish you all the best!!!

Thanks Bernina- I have seen the heartbeat twice so I am thankful for that. It's just hard after having so many losses to stay positive.

I'm on daily progesterone in oil injections, as my body was not absorbing the suppositories. I have had sore boobs, only side effect. I have cramping/pulling on & off. My dr said that progesterone can calm a "cranky uterus". That made me feel better, considering there are days where I feel nothing.

 

[Amos2009]

I've never heard that Ette. I feel nothing either...not even any pulling

 

[pickles]

Yep I'm on them too. I've got sore bb's, nausea but no sickness, very tired- but not every day, but when I am tired I'm TIRED!
Have had some cramping too though.
I had a scan at what I thought was 7 weeks but I was put back to 6w 3d.

I went to the doctors a few days back and begged him for another scan as I've previously had 1 mmc and 2 mc and am worried sick. I know there's nothing I can do if bubs hasn't made it, but I'd rather not live for a month like I did before thinking all was fine and little bean had died. So I'm waiting on hearing about that appointment, hopefully they'll say yes.

I must admit, I've purposefully not read up on the side effects of the progesterone.

 

[Amos2009]

Thanks Pickles- did you get to hear a heartbeat at your last scan?

Just wanted to saw congrats on your pregnancy!

 

[Amos2009]

Thanks Ummar!

Could be totally normal. I hadn't heard of that either until they told me. Every pregnancy is different too. I have asked around like crazy. Some family members felt everything & others didn't have one sign of pregnancy.

 

[pickles]

Yes Amos, I saw the heartbeat, not heard it. She said it was 120bpm, so right on track, but I've seen the HB before and mc.
Mind you this is the first time I've been on Progesterone. I'm taking Aspirin too, are you?

 

[Amos2009]

Yes- I am on baby aspirin and something called Neevo which is basically just folic acid on steroids. The longest any of my pregnancies has lasted was 8+4 which I found out at my 12 week scan. So I am coming up on a milestone that I am worried I won't pass. I just feel like something is wrong again
On another note- my baby's HB was 122. So we are close in that respect

 

[pickles]

Never heard of Neevo. Let's hope it works for you.

I think that being through what we have automatically makes us worry. We'll breathe a sigh of relief when we make it past milestones and then go on to fret about something else.
Last week I worried because I had a "good" few days. Not tired not sick. But that seems to have come back with a vengeance.

If you want to chat feel free to pm me x

 

[Amos2009]

You're right. My nausea has been much better the last few days so I am freaking out about that too....let me know how you get on at your next scan.

 

[SugarKisses]

I am on them, but I only started taking them at 14 weeks. So I cant really help. Really hope its a sticky baby for you xx

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Hey Amos I had been wondering about you. I am back to being a worry wart too...symptoms have faded again so I am freaked out. Prayers and FX for both of us.

 

[Amos2009]

Hey Reeds...I've been around just not posting much because I seem to be doing nothing but worrying and whining. When do you go to the doctor again?

 

[reedsgirl1138]

OH you sound like me. I don't see the dr til sept 16. so far away.

 

[Amos2009]

Oh wow....I should shut up then. Mine is Thursday.
