My poor husband. I also felt bloated and gained more weight earlier in my pregnancy than I think I would have had I not been on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-side-effects#post-1159569 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 16:13:14 +0000 mrs. 64 1159569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took them orally and was super emotional. I've heard that the oral version has worse side effects, but I don't know if that is true or not.</p> <p>@mrs. bird: I was a wreck. I read a book at school and started crying and had to tell my kids I was just so sad for the baby hippo. Pretty sure my 2nd graders were about to stage an intervention. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-side-effects#post-1159357 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 15:01:55 +0000 Dapple Grey 1159357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are we talking prometrium/bioidentical progesterone suppositories?<br /> If your putting them in your vag and its too gross and leaky, ask your doc if you can take it rectally. I know it may not be for everyone but its something to consider ;)<br /> When i take it orally it knocks me out and i have crazy vivid dreams! Other than that no adverse side effects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-side-effects#post-1159335 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 14:49:31 +0000 spaniellove 1159335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: The leaking wakes me up in the middle of the night too...I used to try to lie there and tough it out but since I had to pee anyway I decided to just get up as soon as I first felt it and wipe everything dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-side-effects#post-1159216 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 14:09:40 +0000 Alivoo01 1159216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took it orally as well, and it made me super fatigued. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-side-effects#post-1159042 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 13:17:30 +0000 mrs. bird 1159042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've only taken it orally rather than the suppositories, but it made me psycho! i was a lunatic. my face &amp; hair got greasy and i broke out really badly. also, i wanted to sleep 24/7. good times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-side-effects#post-1159013 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 13:10:03 +0000 LindsayInNY 1159013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alie: Same here!!

It really messes with my head since I don't want to symptom spot but it's hard not to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-side-effects#post-1157738 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 23:54:20 +0000 shopaholic 1157738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to use it from week 6 to 13 I think? So can't be sure if bloating and breakouts were due to progesterone or the pregnancy. I was really sensitive to the first ones, made me irritated down there. Then they had the compounding pharmacy switch the ingredient and it was better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-side-effects#post-1157616 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 21:56:06 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1157616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only took it for about a week with my last pregnancy, so any symptoms I had were attributed to that. The worst was the leaking though! It woke me up every morning around 4:30, without fail. Anyone have a suggestion on how to minimize that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-side-effects#post-1157481 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:56:46 +0000 LovelyPlum 1157481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It made my morning sickness much worse.

My FET is next month. I can't hardly wait! I'm ready to join the other side with you. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-side-effects#post-1156917 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:20:27 +0000 spaniellove 1156917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It broke me out badly some cycles and caused a bit of bloating. I think it can also cause constipation, which might be related to the bloating? But the leaking, ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-side-effects#post-1156894 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:16:26 +0000 twodoghouse 1156894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hair and skin have been greasy too! I wonder if it's the progesterone? I was also super bloated when I started on prog. I think it was causing the bloating, but I'm not sure. I do know the hives all over my bum is from the prog. though! I'm on injections and suppositories, but only for another two weeks - yay!</p> <p>@Leialou: Are you on progesterone to prep for a FET? Hope you've been doing well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-side-effects#post-1156853 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:11:47 +0000 Shutterbug 1156853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ohh my hair had been super greasy lately, I didn't even consider it could have been the progesterone. The leaking drives me nuts! The other side effects I get are mild cramping and super bloated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-side-effects#post-1156826 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:05:43 +0000 banana 1156826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't notice any side effects other than gross leaking. Blech. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-side-effects#post-1156817 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:04:37 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1156817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you get side effects from progesterone? Besides the leaking (which was gross) my normally dry skin was normal while I was on it. Also my hair got super greasy. I would wash it in the morning and it would look oily by early afternoon. That was super annoying. </p>
