Anyone stop cyclogest pessaries (or other progesterone supplement) due to side effects?

I have had embryo transfer. I am reacting to the cyclogest 400mg x 2: abdominal pain, fatigue, nausea. I think it is doing more harm than good, judging by how I feel. I react to most IVF drugs (norehisterone, progynova, provera, etc).

Has anyone had to stop cyclogest while on a cycle? How did your clinic resolve it?

Or did you bear the side effects to the end?

Please share. Thank you in advance.

Update: Doctor asked me to switch to vaginal application, easier for abdominal discomfort apparently.

Hope your symptoms have eased now, I had a lot of cramping with Cyclogest during my first cycle. I'm now on my second transfer and am taking Lubion injections instead, so far no cramps at all! Might be worth asking if your cramps continue X
