progesterone causing very early weight gain?

Question

Hey guys! How many of you are on vaginal progesterone? I'm on 200mg twice daily and have been since IUI in April. I'm 7 weeks pregnant and I feel like I "look" way more pregnant than I should this early... anyone experience this with progesterone? I have to be on it for another 3 weeks. Does the bloating reduce once you got off it? Thanks!

Answer

High Progesterone levels that naturally occur in pregnancy causes your digestion to slow drastically...which causes incredible bloat from gas and constipation.
You don't show until over 12 wks..when your uterus would come to or a tad above your pubic bone...if it's your first baby and you were in good physical condition, you likely will not actually show until 20 to 28 wks.
The bloat can really look like a baby bump though but it'll reduce as your placenta takes over hormone production.

i've been on suppositories since 5 weeks and i'm 14 weeks now. i've actually lost weight and don't look very pregnant at all, yet. i was bloated in the beginning but i think that's just pregnancy, not the progesterone lol but i was also only on 100mg.. maybe it makes a difference but i doubt it
