First progesterone

So I recently found out I am pregnant, but the doctors have no idea how far along I am yet. My first HCG blood test came back a 43 and quickly doubled to an 87. I need to continue going back weekly to check on it. The doctor said everything looks good and I am probably very early in pregnancy. However my progesterone levels came back very low and I was prescribed First Progesterone supplementary. I’ve been taking it for three days now. I have had awful nausea and headaches. Does anyone else have these symptoms with it, or could this just be pregnancy symptoms as well?

I am taking 200mg of progesterone daily (pill) and I have awful headaches and nausea. Hoping it subsides at 12 weeks like everyone else’s has!!

Yep! I've been on it since I found out, and I'm now 11w3d. Constant nausea and headaches. I'm only taking it until 12 weeks, but it's been rough! I have to take it vaginally, I take 2, 200mg in the mornings, and 2, 200mg in the evening. I'm not even sure what my first number was, but it was low. Saw baby at 9w6d moving and wiggling, so the progesterone helps that's for sure! Congrats momma!!

I’ve been taking progesterone since after ovulation, and I haven’t noticed any extreme headaches or nausea. I would say that’s probably pregnancy symptoms!
