Hey gals! Let's talk about PROGESTERONE. Specifically taking extra.

4w4d here, currently. Very early. But my fertility specialist confirmed my pregnancy via initial HCg draw at 3w6d / 2nd on 4w1d.

I am taking 200mg of Oral Progesterone twice daily. So far I feel good and my fatigue is not overwhelming. But there's other symptoms that are starting to drive me bananas.

First, is my lady parts! Some time it's alarming and I'm afraid. But they feel full! Like I can feel them expanding and swelling at times. The inside if my vaginal wall is also notably swollen, as (TMI ALERT:) the opening of my vagina is swollen, to the point it was very uncomfortable to have sex.

I'm generally sensitive down there. But this is my first pregnancy on progesterone supplements!

I also have a heavier full feeling in my uterus and pelvis and I get so exhausted much quicker after doing a basic errand and lap around a home depot.

Maybe it's being pregnant at 30 instead of 23. But I've read lots about how progesterone makes us feel weird!

Is anyone else out there feeling this? If so-- share your gripes with me!!! Please!! It eases my mind so much when it's quiet at night and I'm counting down the days to the 12 week graduation mark.
