Progesterone questions part 2...

Ok, so I am just wondering what the side effects are that other people have experienced on the progsterone? Yesterday I got so bloated my pants became uncomfortable. Am I looking at another 2 weeks of elastic waistbands?!? I also had some pretty uncomfortable cramping last night. I don't know if that was related to my IUI or the progesterone. Any info on what to expect I would appreciate.

Only 13 more days!! :)

Did you have the trigger shot? I did for one cycle, and was bloated and crampy for a few days afterwards.

I haven't experience many side effect from the Progesterone.

I never really experienced any SE with the IM progesterone or estrogen or the estrogen suppositorie. However, when I did the combo estro/progest suppositories I had more cramping & bloating. I related it to the progesterone simply because it was the only difference. The progesterone also seemed to help alleviate some of my headaches that I got with the estrogen. Good luck!!!

I became extremely bloated and had cramping. The progesterone also gave me feverish like symptoms...once i found out i wasn't preg and stopped the medication i immediately began feeling myself again. Good luck to you during your wait. I hope you get your BFP!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
