Progesterone Hell

[vineyard]

So, this is my second round of taking progesterone and I feel like poo. It makes me so darn tired and fatigued I can hardly function. It also makes me really emotional.

Does anyone else have these side effects?

OMG! Yes! It is horrible! I have not had to take Progesterone the last few months but I did take it for 4 months before that and later this week I will have to take them again. It sucks but once AF comes, it all gets better. I am sorry you feel bad!

What kind are you taking? I took Prometrium last cycle and it did make me sleep well. Are you taking it at night? I had the best sleeps ever while taking it, but it did make me feel like I needed a bit of a nap mid-day as well. I swear I gained like 10 pounds as well. LOL! I am only laughing because I am off it right now, and I am back to feeling like my old self, but next cycle we are TTC again (just took Christmas off). Then, I too will be feeling like shite. Guess we can just hope that it is all for a good reason, and then it will be worth it in the end.

I get really bad hot flashes at night when I am taking Progesterone.

I am taking prometrium now and I am getting dizzy about mid morning. I think I am going to start taking it at night so maybe I can sleep through the dizzy spells. Other then that I really haven't noticed any other side effects. I am sorry you aren't feeling that great.
