I'm on progesterone supplements as I'm trying to conceive. Lately, I've been feeling some symptoms like breast tenderness and tiredness. Can these be because of the progesterone, or could they be actual pregnancy symptoms?
Actually, progesterone is the main hormone causing bloating and fatigue, ho na. So it is very easy to confuse it with actual pregnancy. Better to just wait for the test.
Absolutely, progesterone causes almost identical symptoms like breast tenderness and mood swings. Don't drive yourself crazy symptom spotting, only a test will give the real answer.
Since progesterone levels rise in both PMS and early pregnancy, the symptoms feel exactly the same. If you are taking progesterone supplements, check with your gynac about what side effects to expect.
Yes, progesterone definitely mimics symptoms like bloating and sore breasts. My saas told me to not get too excited or stressed early on and just wait for the missed period to be sure.
I took progesterone supports in my first trimester and honestly, the nausea and exhaustion felt exactly like pregnancy symptoms but twice as strong! It's very common, so hang in there.
