are these progesterone side effects?

i am on suppositories and i have felt like total cr@p the last three days or so physically. im about 6-7DPO and 8 days post trigger shot.

anyway i have been horrifically bloated specifically for the last three days.
but besides that i feel this like tugging/tightening/pulling/cramping sensation in my stomach area around my belly button for the last two days or so..i am also having cramping in my ovaries too but thats a different feeling - that feels the same way that follie growth feels. the stomach feeling is different - it doesnt hurt like a cramp - it's just odd!!

ive never done the suppositories before so im assuming its a side effect?

Re: are these progesterone side effects?

I have never taken progesterone, but they could be from the stimming. I was really bloated after my IUI. Or maybe they are PG symptoms!!

Re: are these progesterone side effects?

I never had any side effects from progesterone. I did suppositories and injections.

I did get all the normal side effects from stimming (fullness, bloating, pain with coughing, sneezing, ect.) My ovaries were enlarged after my IVF cycle until about 3 months later.

Um, not sure about side effects, but sounds like good signs. The bloating can definitely be from the IUI and the meds. I do believe the suppositories do give me AF like cramps though.

i didnt do IUI just timed intercourse. but i needed injectables and femara and a trigger just to O.

Yeah, prog supps can mimick PG symptoms. Bloating, cramping and for me, V E R Y tired!

Hopefully they are all PG symptoms!!!! Good Luck
