Nausea is a known side effect of progesterone. I don't know of increased appetite associated with progesterone.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.

Progesterone can cause an increase in appetite. It is given to cancer patients to increase their appetite during chemo. I believe I gained 5lbs with the progesterone!

Wanting to eat more can be an indirect side-effect of the progesterone (or a pregnancy). I had a lot of nausea starting right after I had my transfer, and I found that I felt better when I was able to keep my tummy pretty full. So I would just graze on small amounts of food all day. In particular I experienced a lot of motion sickness - which was really awful because during my 2ww and the first 3 months of my pregnancy I was living on an island and commuting 45 minutes on a boat to work :shock: - so once I arrived at a destination I would throw up a little, then eat like crazy to feel better again. Like hopinginnc I found that I had gained 4 lbs just during my 2ww.

Wondercat thank you for ur storie, last night I had escrusheating pain on my left lower abdomen for about 15 minutes it was not cramps but pain, pain, .I took 2 valuim because I did not want to call my MD at that time and my husbant wanted to take me to the ER, but I said no. The valuims helped and I called my MD this morning and he said to call him next time, for now it's just little cramping and lots of lower back pain and my boobs are full of veins and it hurt on the sides.
