Progesterone shot side effects....

Post by marianna »

I've been on shots since my retrieval and have had some annoying side effects. The most difficult to deal with is bloating and constipation. Anyone else get these side effects and how did you help yourself......

Yes! Bloating is actually the side effect of the constipation. This is something that I have been battleing with for about a week now. I bought prune juice and it works!! But, you need to drink 8 oz in the morning on an empty stomach and be prepared to use the bathroom within 10-45 mins after drinking it. I also added some dried prunes to it because it adds fiber. Another thing I have been told and I just bought from the store and havent tried it yet is about 4 dried apricots.

I hope this helps you!

the progesterone made me sick till 10 days after i stopped it. Doc said its all the hormones and it takes 10 days to get out of you. I drank lots of pepto and things like gaterade, g2. Eat light. It will go away, eventually. 10 days after my bfn i felt better. I felt fine with all my other meds gonal, repronex, lupron etc.
