Cyclogest and stomach pain?

[oharal]

Hello,

Following my EC I started taking cyclogest. Everytime i take one I get a bad bloat and I have a really bad belly ache. I have just got some lactulose in the hope that it's because I have been to the toilet but just wondered if anyone else had this?? My belly feels so uncomfortable

Hiya, they have been messing with my guts and bowels too...unfortunately. I have been feeling bloated, windy and have had changes to my number twos, I’ll spare you the details 😆 I read that the progesterone does something to the muscles in your lower intestines x

My symptoms sound very similar haha! I hope they stop soon xx

[Dunla in reply to oharal]

Oh me too, they are some pretty anti social side effects 😷

Hi, I did have this a bit. I always found emptying my bowels helped (sorry tmi).xx

[oharal in reply to Hidden]

Not tmi haha, I will hopefully be able to empty with lactulose xxx

Hey.

I’m also on cyclogest following ET & I’m suffering from constipation & terrible internal itching. I can’t wait to be free of meds! Good luck with your treatment. Xx

Sounds similar to me!! I cant wait either. It will all be worth it xx

I’m also constantly freezing so wrapping up in several layers & using a heated beanbag😊

[Dunla in reply to Jojo_2017]

OH my goodness I’ve been freezing as well! Thought I was coming down with a virus or something. Didn’t know this was a symptom too!

[Jojo_2017 in reply to Dunla]

Yeah I read the Cyclogest side effects & feeling cold is listed in addition to our he dreaded itching 😬

[Dunla in reply to Jojo_2017]

Who knew?? The side effects are crazy. I also have a lovely strip of acne on each cheek now at this stage 😣

Hello. I was in soooo much discomfort on my first cycle- it was one of the worst things about the whole experience! Fybogel helped me a lot and I believe is safe. Good luck! Xx

I think lactulose is the same thing so fingers crossed it works xx
