Progesterone bloating - painful

Tori

I’m taking progesterone (first pregnancy taking it) and am noticing that on top of my constant nausea I’m now becoming very bloated, very suddenly with no real pattern (not big meals etc.) and it’s super painful.

I’ve read that progesterone levels rising can cause bloating and that this happens regularly in pregnancy without progesterone medication but this is INTENSE.

Has anyone else experienced while on progesterone and have any advice? It lasts hours and is so painful.
