Anyone else put on progresterone?

Question

I went to the drs today and had my cervix checked and was put on progesterone for precaution because of my loss at 20 weeks..Anyone have any info on side effects or anything like that and do u have to put it in everyday?

Answer

I was on the oral supplement pills for my first trimester the only side effect I had was just wanting to sleep ALL THE TIME!! But I took them right after dinner but within a half hour I would be in such a sleep state but it was peaceful since I was having problems sleeping anyway lol

Answer

Ill start at 17 weeks... We had a loss at 22+5 in July with our first son..  We will do vagina suppositories unless they think the p17 shots will be better... Im fine either way... Just to keep that cervix nice and tightly closed and keep out infection...

Answer

Yes I had the suppositories at first and now I'm on the injections once a week.

Answer

I start the shots this week until 36 weeks, very nervous!! Hoping we keep this one in. Our first tried to make her appearance at 27 weeks and held off until 36 weeks.

Answer

I have been on it twice a day since 6weeks, currently 14weeks. I am always extremely tired and usually get pretty dizzy about 30 minutes after taking it.

Answer

I started out having to put it in twice a day morning and night, then they switched me to taking 2 orally at night! The side effect I had with it the whole entire time was exhaustion! When I had to put it in vaginally every morning an hour after id take a 2-3 hr nap! But other then that really had no issues with it. I stopped taking it at 12 weeks. Oh and I was put on it because in the beginning of pregnancy my progesterone was only a 9.8, which would have put me at a risk to miscarry!

Answer

I started my shots at 12weeks (I'm now 17wks) and I will continue to get them weekly until I'm 37wks. So far no side effects, just soreness where I get the shot.
