Progesterone induced sleeping!!

[lc3055]

So I had my second FET on Saturday. I’m on progesterone this time and feeling so tired all the time. Is this a common side effect of progesterone? Also thinking about going back to the gym today but not sure if I should hold off for a day or two still? Any suggestions?

Hi...I definitely suffered from tiredness on progesterone..most days id fall asleep on the sofa! as for exercise my clinic advise just to stick to light exercise during this time xo

Yeah! Progesterone is the devil. All sorts of nasty side effects to enjoy including exhaustion. Helps you get used to the pregnancy exhaustion I suppose, if your cycle is successful 😁 really hope you get your BFP x

Fingers crossed! I really don’t feel it though but maybe I just won’t have any symptoms. I hope all is going well with your pregnancy xx

hiya I’m currently on massive doses of it and I’m knackered. I’m up at 5am - currently sneaking off at midday for a snooze in my car at work, then I get home and have a couple of hours then I’m ready for bed at 10pm. No raving for me at the min! 😂

Also I’ve been a complete bitch this cycle. Didn’t really suffer the effects 1st time round but this cycle my boyfriend has had it double barrel on more than one occasion! Xx

Yeah it’s really bad, I’ve not been too bad grouch-wise (yet!!) but exhausted by 8pm. Are you having an FET? Xx

[Shinyhalo1 in reply to lc3055]

Yes my last Embryo tomorrow x

Hi I had to have the progesterone shots and they also made me crazy tired. I allowed myself to just sit infront of the tv when it got too much. I also found that light exercise in the gym helped me relax. All the best

[lc3055 in reply to Love4spitz]

What do you class as light exercise? I normally do hiit classes so I’m assuming that’s out. What about abs or weights? Xxx

[Love4spitz in reply to lc3055]

I usually do just 30 mins walking at moderate speed - I was told it helps with circulation. No weights! I also do some mat work but nothing too strenuous.
