I just told her I'd rather call and leave a message that i'm feeling unwell than be told in 2 weeks that I should have called. It may well not be progesterone side effects, but I'd rather let the doctor know. </p> <p>I think the only option for me today is to snuggle down with a blanket and sleep the day away while LO is being babysat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-pessaries-in-early-pregnancy#post-2149266 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 19:59:31 +0000 DesertDreams88 2149266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only take progesterone orally which I know seemingly not as trusted of an option.... but it seems to work for me, my temps stay up and my LP is a solid 14 days. I realize a pregnancy might need more support though. I take 200mg and I have no side effects except for drowsiness, so I take it an hour before bed.</p> <p>your side effects definitely do seem extreme, maybe talking it over with your doctor will reveal other options? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-pessaries-in-early-pregnancy#post-2149186 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 18:40:40 +0000 travellingbee 2149186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: yeah that seems extreme </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-pessaries-in-early-pregnancy#post-2149184 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 18:39:06 +0000 FannyMae 2149184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I'm considering calling my OB because I honestly feel so bad, the dizziness, shaking and racing heart have me a little bit worried and I'd be really concerned if it kept up til my next appointment in 2 weeks. I was in a daze and slept about 6 hours during the day yesterday. I need a repeat zofran script so maybe they can bring it forward :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-pessaries-in-early-pregnancy#post-2148875 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 06:52:07 +0000 travellingbee 2148875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry. Yeah, I find progesterone to be the worst of all the things Ive had to take so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-pessaries-in-early-pregnancy#post-2148824 Sun, 19 Apr 2015 01:28:42 +0000 FannyMae 2148824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>well 11 days later I seem to have gone through most of the side effects listed on the pamphlet. I'm feeling absolutely terrible, racing heart, shaking hands, tummy ache and bloating. can barely keep my eyes open have slept through most of the day. ughh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-pessaries-in-early-pregnancy#post-2135920 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 06:48:12 +0000 FannyMae 2135920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OB said there will be some bloating and tenderness, so I guess I'll be looking more like a pufferfish than I already do... Boobs only just started getting sore in the last 5 days, I'll make sure I dig out the comfy no-underwire bras. OB gave me a script with 15 pessaries x 5 repeats, so that's going to be about 10 weeks worth. My chemist doesn't keep them in stock so I left my script there to have them ordered in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-pessaries-in-early-pregnancy#post-2135884 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 06:11:26 +0000 travellingbee 2135884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Progesterone makes my boobs hurt and makes me emotional. But after a couple weeks I think your body adjusts to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-pessaries-in-early-pregnancy#post-2135845 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 02:10:01 +0000 FannyMae 2135845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today I had my first OB appointment and ultrasound at 6 weeks 3 days (I was supposed to be 7 weeks) and my doctor has put me on 200mg progesterone pessaries (oripro). I had a mc at 9 weeks in December where there was a subchorionic haematoma visible on the US at the time - on this ultrasound there was a small bleed visible on my uterus (but not a big black spot) so he has put me on these pessaries until further notice to help support the placenta and its growth.</p> <p>my question to you all is - what to expect? I have no idea how my body will respond to the progesterone (I can only assume i'm going to feel worse lol) i'd love to hear your experiences taking it during early pregnancy and your outcomes :) </p>
