Cyclogest and short of breath?

[Fudge1980]

Hey ladies hope everyone is well!

5dp5dt and since 3dp5dt I’ve been so short of breathe. I’ve put it down to 400mg X2 a day. I had a fet so no other medication

Anyone experienced this? I can get my breath but when I get up to do anything I am short of breath and need to take a deep breath in.

Should I be worried maybe too much progesterone? Does it need checking?

I know one of you will have experience 💕

Thanks ladies xx

I’ve had this today. Is it like you feel you need to breathe in to get a full breath. I think it’s down to worrying.

Hope you feel better soon.xxx

I always get this when I’m taking progesterone! On my successful cycles where I’ve had to take it up to 12 weeks, it gets so bad that I would need a break walking up the stairs 🥴

It does get better as soon as I stop taking it and I think it’s a common side effect of progesterone. If you’re worried though, speak to your clinic xx

This is good to know as I didn’t know this. ♥️ xxx

Me neither, this is really helpful. I had no idea it was one of the side effects. I’ve been struggling with this too, I thought I was just unfit 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for sharing xx

Thanks Kiko! I thought it was the progesterone because it’s the only medication I am taking. I love progesterone for what it helps but I hate the side effects 🥴xx

Wow, I had no idea this was a side effect! I have been on 2x 400 cyclogest + 1x lubion daily a couple of times before and probably just put anything down to being stressed out. I hope you start feeling better and it doesn't last the whole 12 weeks for you (I know you're only 5dp but 🤞 xx)

Thank you lovely 💕The joys of progesterone!

How are you doing where you up to in your journey?xx

[Hoop123 in reply to Fudge1980]

Yayyy (again) for your news!! I'm doing okay, I'm at the start of a "stimulated" FET after my last cycle was cancelled. Absolute nightmare at the time but honestly I feel physically and mentally so so much better right now than I did last time around. I think my body just shut up shop before. So, it's exciting times! I just hope we've found the right path 🤞 x
