My breasts were very sore when I first started taking them. I also felt nauseous and had some headaches. I started them at 12 weeks and I'm actually still on them (at almost 32 weeks). I'm hoping I'll get to stop them once I reach full term! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-progesterone-supplements#post-2537803 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 18:04:28 +0000 Weswife 2537803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am currently on these and was wondering the same thing. Ekk hoping it means good news though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-progesterone-supplements#post-302011 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 07:40:01 +0000 Tidybee 302011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YEs!! boobs were really tender when I was on Prometrium. The month I got pregnant, I actually didn't take the prometrium, but they were a different sore. More sore in the front rather than on the sides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-progesterone-supplements#post-301959 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 06:36:27 +0000 PrincessBaby 301959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on Crinone progesterone suppositories and they definitely gave me sore/tender boobs and loads of other pregnancy symptoms, like bloating and exhaustion. I had the side effects both when I was pregnant and on cycles when I wasn't...Good luck!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-progesterone-supplements#post-301937 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 05:08:00 +0000 anniegurumi 301937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on progesterone while TTC and I remember my boobs being a little tender.</p> <p>I am now pregnant and on progesterone for 21 days (I'm only in my 5th week of pregnancy) and it makes me tired, boobs ache and dizzy. </p> <p>Hope this helps you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-progesterone-supplements#post-301910 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 02:19:03 +0000 shopaholic 301910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My boobs DID hurt a lot, very tender! But I didn't attribute it just to the progesterone since I used them during my 1st tri. Could explain it though! I had to wear sports bras all the time to help! Best of luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-progesterone-supplements#post-301604 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:10:30 +0000 kentuckygirl 301604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-progesterone-supplements#post-301600 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:09:35 +0000 kentuckygirl 301600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Thanks! :) I am trying not to symptom spot because I have been disappointed in the past. Plus it's so early that I think it has to be the Progesterone! But I hope you are correct! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-progesterone-supplements#post-301364 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:55:53 +0000 tororojo 301364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, I only took them during the first trimester so I can't distinguish pregnancy symptoms from supplement symptoms. But now I'm wondering if progesterone is the reason for so much nausea or if it would have happened anyway... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-progesterone-supplements#post-301350 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:47:16 +0000 blackbird 301350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They didn't bother me, but I know they can mimic pregnancy type symptoms! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-progesterone-supplements#post-301340 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:41:25 +0000 kentuckygirl 301340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies! Glad to know I am not alone. Wow, now I have some idea what it's like if I do get PG! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-progesterone-supplements#post-301337 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:39:30 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 301337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! Like MGG said, Progesterone basically mimics and emphasizes normal pregnancy symptoms. I had morning sickness with my pregnancy that was mild, but with progesterone supplements it became HORRIBLE and unbearable....because progesterone makes pregnancy symptoms much stronger.<br /> The stuff works though:) Good luck with everything!<br /> p.s: from my experience as well as many others' experiences, boobs are the first sign. So, you never know:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-progesterone-supplements#post-301331 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:36:49 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 301331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The supplements mimic all the pregnancy symptoms. It's so annoying (but obviously everything is due to hormones). Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-progesterone-supplements#post-301330 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:36:47 +0000 rattles 301330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I found both tenderness and swelling to be side effects (though my supplements were oral and injected). I found those symptoms stuck around until I stopped taking them at around 8 weeks. Because I got pregnant the same cycle I started taking them, I can't be sure how much was because of the progesterone, but the timing made me blame the supplements, and my ob said that they were likely to blame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-progesterone-supplements#post-301324 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:32:53 +0000 Running Elley 301324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yepp!!! I was on progesterone supplements every month while TTC in suppository/pill form and once I got pregnant I was on progesterone in oil injections and my boobs always hurt SO much worse than before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-had-progesterone-supplements#post-301320 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:31:32 +0000 kentuckygirl 301320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi! For those of you who took some type of Progesterone supplement, did your boobs hurt? I am taking Progesterone suppositories (fun, huh!) for the first time this month. I woke up this morning to very sore boobs and especially nipples. I am only 4 DPO so I don't think it could be pregnancy symptoms yet. What was your experience? </p>
