Progesterone

Jessica

My dr put me on Progesterone because at approx. 4weeks my level was at 9.25, which is low, I guess, so I’ve been taking oral pills every night since that day. I’m currently 7 weeks 3 days. I’m trying to figure out if the pregnancy or this pill is making me so sick? This is my 5th pregnancy and I’ve never even had my Progesterone levels checked during any of my other pregnancies. The nurse accidentally ordered progesterone to be checked instead of HcG, and that’s the only reason it was checked. My last pregnancy was in 2016, and I had some nausea but NOTHING even compared to how I’ve felt the last almost 4 weeks. I googled the side effects but I can’t find anything that says extreme nausea is one of them. I’m literally sick 24 hours a day. The only time I feel ok is when I get some carbs in my belly, and I don’t have the energy to exercise, or even do my normal cleaning, so I’m also gaining weight - already! I’m tired, crabby, and have unbearable headaches most days, which I usually don’t get. I’m 35, a little overweight but other than that active and healthy. I don’t smoke, drink, or use drugs and no other Rx’s. Is this hormone making me miserable!?
