Does Progesterone make you feel awful?

Question

This is my second round IUI with progesterone suppositories and I am hating the side effects! Primarily that I feel like a moody crazy person. Like a lot of angry rage over nothing. I can recognize that it's nothing and usually talk myself down, but it's exhausting. I also feel tired, dizzy and my boobs are sore. Just wondering if it makes anyone else feel this way?

Answer

I used progesterone for a couple of weeks after my iui and it was no fun. It made me tired, bloated and super constipated (tmi,sorry). Oh, and the discharge from the cream was awful!

Answer

I used the endometrin suppository after my first ivf cycle. It made my boobs hurt, and I had to pee a lot.

Answer

It was the Ovidrel that made me feel crazy! I would start crying and my husband would ask me why and I would have no idea. It was weird. Progesterone didn't bother me too much!

Answer

I was a crazed lunatic on Provera.

Answer

I'm just using a cream at the moment but was noticing the same side effects! I have been low on progesterone for 4 years so I wasn't sure if I was imagining these or not! Ha

Answer

I'm taking progesterone pills too it makes me feel weird but no period yet.

Answer

Hi Sarah! I did progesterone suppositories as well for a couple months but didn't notice any side effects other than sore boobs. Maybe yours is a higher dosage. I hope you start to feel better soon!
