pamg I have to take progesterone and it has given me every pregnancy symptom in the book in past cycles. Cramps, bloat, nausea, sore bbs, etc. I will say that I've been through enough cycles that I can now tell the difference between true pregnancy symptoms and progesterone side effects, but I've been TTCing for 8 years and started cycles with progesterone last year. BUT, every woman is different, and my clinic has warned me on several occasions in various forms that progesterone side effects can very easily be mistaken as pregnancy. I will also add that for whatever reason, progesterone effects me differently every cycle I take it. Not sure why, Probably not what you wanted to hear but I definitely hope what you've been feeling is pregnancy and not just progesterone side effects!
