That's what my doctor suggested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-progesterone-supplements-make-you-feel-like-death#post-2254014 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 08:57:13 +0000 Alivoo01 2254014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: It took me 2 days to realize it was the progesterone supplements that made me dizzy/drunk feeling. I took it after I got home from work and was like whoa! DH and I went out to eat one night for dinner shortly after I took the supplement, and I'm sure other patrons thought I was drunk off my ass because I was staggering all over the place (was hella dizzy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-progesterone-supplements-make-you-feel-like-death#post-2253959 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 08:34:33 +0000 runnerd 2253959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks guys, guess I have to get used to it then lol</p> <p>@Alivoo01: I was pretty close to calling the nurse and asking if this was normal, but decided to crowdsurf HB first lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-progesterone-supplements-make-you-feel-like-death#post-2253906 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 08:03:00 +0000 Alivoo01 2253906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm taking the same one as you - 200mg oral. And those are normal side effects (I called the triage nurse bc I was concerned how it affected me). Only thing she said was to make sure to take it at night. But even waking up is a bit difficult because the progesterone fog.</p> <p>I took 2-100mg supplements last pregnancy and it made me feel like crap also, but not drunk/dizzy. </p> <p>Things we do to have a healthy baby and pregnancy! :P</p> <p>Good thing is, we get to stop taking it after the 1st trimester. hang in there!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-progesterone-supplements-make-you-feel-like-death#post-2253848 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 06:56:58 +0000 LovelyPlum 2253848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I was super lightheaded to the point where they send me to a cardiologist to make sure I was ok. I had vaginal ones </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-progesterone-supplements-make-you-feel-like-death#post-2253811 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 05:37:41 +0000 pachamama 2253811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: I took vaginal suppositories, Endometrin, and just had lot of discharge. Maybe slight dizziness and nausea but that could have been my pregnancy!!<br /> The first day I took them actually I felt terrible but I was taking a huge dosage, 300mg. I've heard many women say the oral is much tougher than the vaginal. Can you ask your Dr for vaginal? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-progesterone-supplements-make-you-feel-like-death#post-2253807 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 05:27:22 +0000 Mrsk 2253807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took them vaginally from weeks 8 to 15. I felt exhausted, we sleep from the time I got off work until the next morning except to get up and eat dinner, I also had extreme headaches and dizziness, my blood pressure was really low, I always thought they were normal pregnancy symptoms! I guess maybe not?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-progesterone-supplements-make-you-feel-like-death#post-2253803 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 05:20:08 +0000 MaryM 2253803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Add zero appetite to the list for me. I'm almost 17 weeks and have gained one lb. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-progesterone-supplements-make-you-feel-like-death#post-2253800 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 04:53:37 +0000 FaithFertility 2253800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, even the vaginal ones I think made me hot,bloated and crabby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-progesterone-supplements-make-you-feel-like-death#post-2253792 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 02:48:27 +0000 Tidybee 2253792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I switched to vaginal bc of the side effects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-progesterone-supplements-make-you-feel-like-death#post-2253773 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 00:21:09 +0000 FannyMae 2253773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took progesterone pessaries from 6-14ish weeks, and I felt like crap. I made a thread about it at the time - dizziness, shaking hands, racing heart, bloating and lethargic. Ughhhh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-progesterone-supplements-make-you-feel-like-death#post-2253772 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 00:16:26 +0000 sarac 2253772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-progesterone-supplements-make-you-feel-like-death#post-2253732 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 22:32:18 +0000 DesertDreams88 2253732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have any of the symptoms you listed, except for extreme fatigue. I would sleep for 8 hours a night plus a two hour nap literally every single day.</p> <p>I learned to always, always, always take my progesterone at night, otherwise I would feel absolutely dead during the day. I still was extremely tired but not falling asleep every hour, just in the afternoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-progesterone-supplements-make-you-feel-like-death#post-2253717 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 22:17:11 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2253717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was taking progesterone injections twice a day through week 11. Once I stopped my symptoms got so much better. I had some terrible headaches and was exhausted. I think I still would have felt bad without the progesterone, but I do think it made it worse. I'm sorry you feel so bad? Is Tylenol helping the headaches? I was taking regular strength when the headaches kept me up. My doctor was ok with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-progesterone-supplements-make-you-feel-like-death#post-2253704 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 21:58:08 +0000 runnerd 2253704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started oral progesterone supplements at 200mg Friday night. I had a really busy and exhausting weekend, but I'm starting to think maybe it's the supplements making me feel this way. Pounding headache constantly, groggy, sleeping constantly. dizzy, body and joint aches. I don't know if it's progressing pregnancy symptoms or the supplements. I'm taking them at night because of drowsy side effects but it's lasting all day. I never felt this bad in my first pregnancy, no supplements. </p> <p>mostly it's the headaches and dizziness concerning me. I haven't had headaches this bad in years. so... how did supplements effect you? </p>
