No pregnancy symptoms since reducing progesterone

[Gibbs_C]

Hi all

I’m wondering if anyone else noticed a drop off in their pregnancy symptoms when they reduced/stopped taking progesterone. I was on 2x200 utrogestan twice a day (two am and two pm tablets) but have halved this in the last few days. My stomach is less bloated and sore boobs feel much better. I should be grateful (?!) but I’m actually just terrified something is wrong, especially as I haven’t even stopped them cold turkey. Has anyone experienced similar? Thanks for your advice xx

I felt awful on Progesterone - I stopped at 14 weeks which does coincide with symptoms reducing in 2nd trimester anyway.

If in doubt do contact your clinic/midwife for reassurance....but all I can say is my symptoms 2nd trimester after going off Progesterone really subsided....

I am now 23 weeks and all seems normal....

Yes my symptoms reduced heaps! Felt so much more ‘normal’ x

I stopped progestrone at 8 weeks but my symptoms were from 6-12 weeks. Now at 17 and feeling fairly normal. So your symptoms may have eased off anyway!

thanks ladies. Hoping all turns out alright 🤞

Yes, I stopped progesterone on OTD and my symptoms lifted the more pregnant I was 😂 it was a bit of a headscramble but I’m glad not to have the hardcore progesterone side effects anymore. Just mega heartburn and tiredness now, but I’m glad of it 🙈😅

Thanks Daisy!

I’m 7w+1 today so still a way to go, but had a scan last week at 6w+4 and saw two heartbeats and equal sized embryos 🥰 so I’m still dining out on that recent reassurance - but now don’t have a scan until January 😂🤯 just trying to stay positive.

I will be 12 weeks on Boxing Day, all being well, so am looking forward to Christmas with extra fervour.

How are you getting on? Xx

Yes, I felt so much better coming off progesterone. I hadn’t realise how much it was affecting me until I stopped it. Yes unfortunately then I was worrying about feeling better but all ok so far.x

thank you all for taking the time to respond. It’s reassuring to know that you’ve been through the same - I definitely feel less alone!
