I just started progesterone, 200 mg a night and it seems to be intensifying my pregnancy symptoms (naseau, exhaustion, etc). Did anyone else have this? I just started at 15 weeks and I will be taking it until I have the baby.

I took it from through 12 weeks and had very mild nausea. I think there are too many variables, but I have heard it can make symptoms worse.
For the record, I took it vaginally, and just before bed, both of which are supposedly better for symptoms.

I took it from 3dpo-12 weeks, and had very little symptoms. If it did amplify anything, then I probably would have had no symptoms at all without it!
eta: I took it orally, I think 100 mg, but not sure.

I have been taking t since 4dpo (400mg at night) it's hard to say as I've never been pregnant without it but even though I now have proper M/S at 7+5 I had been feeling queasy for a long time, since about 10/11 dpo, at the time I did attribute it to the progesterone but I suppose it is hard to tell.

I'm taking 200mg 3/day at 7 weeks. My effects are complete and utter exhaustion to the point of being dizzy about 90 minutes after I take the pill. I'm not having any other nausea or symptoms. The doctor did say to expect some nausea from it but I just haven't had any. My hcg is also very low so I attribute my lack of symptoms to that.

I had horrible nausea until 18 weeks, and I took 200 mg twice a day.vaginally until 13 weeks. I guess I have no real way of knowing whether the progesterone made it worse or not. I was also completely exhausted, but again, no way of telling why.

I took PIO injections from egg retrieval to transfer and then Endometrin inserts 3x/day from transfer to...10 weeks or so with R. I had horrible morning sickness from 6ish weeks to 14 weeks.
I've been on PIO injections much longer this time as well as Endometrin and I'm just exhausted all the time. I haven't had morning sickness yet but my progesterone levels have been low.
I think it can help amplify what's already there if that makes sense.

I had bad morning sickness before starting progesterone, so maybe it's just amplifying it.

I've been taking it since 3dpo - 200mg at night. It's my first pregnancy so I don't have anything to compare, but my symptoms have been very mild. (a little bit of nausea at 6-8 weeks, fatigue, food aversions)

I started progesterone supplements 5 weeks in to my pregnancy and stopped at 12 weeks. My symptoms did get worse around 7-8 weeks, but that could have just been the pregnancy itself.

It's seems like everyone took theirs early in pregnancy.. Anyone take starting 2nd trimester through birth?
