weaning off progesterone. Headaches?

[Ggg555]

hi ladies 💗

I have been weaning off progesterone last week and stoped it completely last night (morning was the last dose). I had a slight headache last night and have had one all day today. I was on 400mg per day then moved down to 200mg per day for weaning off.

Is this normal? Should I report it to my midwife?

does it mean my progesterone levels are dropping or is it just a side effect of stopping the meds ?

I am 13w6d today so will be 14w tomorrow xx

thanks 💗💗

I definitely had headaches associated with stopping progesterone, but I'd speak to your midwife!

Hope you were able to speak to your midwife Remember to drink plenty of fluids as dehydration can cause headaches

Take care

Thank you💗 I have not as headaches have stopped the next day. I also decided to stay on very low dose for another week just 1 tablet a day so that probably helped xx
