Did progesterone make you bloated?

Question

I'm on nightly progesterone suppositories and I am sooooo bloated. I only made it to 8 weeks (currently 10) with my first two pregnancies, but I wasn't bloated or gained any weight at all. Now I'm up almost 5 lbs and nothing fits! Can I blame this on the progesterone or is it normal pregnancy?

Answer

I started progesterone as soon as I found out I was pregnant at 4w.  I ballooned right away. It was uncomfortable and nothing for right.  Went off progesterone at 12 weeks and my bloat bump actually shrunk.  It was embarrassing and made pregnancy difficult to hide at work (after 2 mcs I wasn't ready to tell anyone, I still haven't told at 14w!).
