I'm sorry the progesterone is bothering you but I can totally understand. My side effects seem to be a little different but sort of overlap. I'm taking injection and only started 2 days ago but have serious heartburn, serious! plus some dizziness and stomach cramping too. My ET is on Thursday and I was actually nervous these side effects were hyperstim, but the nurse said it doesnt sound like it. It's awful so far, I hate progesterone! I really had such minimal effects from all the other stims that this is so frustrating.

I've found that the progesterone tends to mimic pregnancy symptoms, so I'm not surprised you are feeling that way. I felt it with all of my cycles...2 BFNs and 1 BFP. If you are concerned call your doc, but they sound totally normal.
