Progesterone

Wow, this stuff sucks! I haven't ever been on it because my levels were always fine. I guess my RE orders them regardless for injects cycles.

It's not just the gross leakage from the suppository. It's the nausea, the frequent urination, super sore boobs, and the insomnia. Yesterday I had a lunch meeting at a Mexican food place and I ordered the fish tacos. I always eat fish tacos, and I'm not a picky eater. I took one bite and almost threw up. I had to apologize and ask for chicken tacos instead. I felt so bad. I always sleep a solid 8 hours. Not anymore. I am up to pee from 2am to 3am, and the other morning I woke up a few hours early to a painful pit in my stomach.

It sounds like they are preparing me for pregnancy, huh?! Of course I won't be annoyed when they are real symptoms. I know this is just a little bump in the road. One of my best friends is getting married this Friday, and I am in the wedding. I am so excited. Hopefully I make it through the night!

xoxo,
Megan

  1. I am beginning to get increasingly freaked about the PIO shots and have been considering asking my doctor to do the suppositories instead. I'm assuming the side effects would be the same, but without the painful welts on my butt. Ah, infertility is so much damn fun.

  2. Oh no! I'm sorry they're making you feel so crappy. I hope they turn into pregnancy symptoms soon :)
