Progesterone Side Effects
Anyone else get dizzy? or light headed?
I've been feeling this since Monday and I never had it before. When i check the pamphlet and online for side effects, these are listed under the severe category and your told to stop and call your doctor.
I spoke to a nurse at my RE's office and she said that dizziness is normal and to drink more water but since i also had some shortness of breath this morning, she is going to ask my RE and get back to me on what I should do.
Anyone else experience any of these?
**UPDATE**
the RE just called me back and said i could stop taking it since i was only on it to begin with to be on the super safe side.
now i'm super scared that if i stop taking it my levels will drop and something bad will happen. they assured me it wouldn't but told me i could come in on friday for bloodwork to see how my progesterone levels are doing.

Progesterone Side Effects
I used to get dizzy/light headed sometimes too. How many times a day do you take it? I was on 3x, so I couldn't really alter when I took it but maybe you can try taking it at night if you're on 1x and scared to stop?

Re: Progesterone Side Effects

i'm on the suppositories, Endometrin. 2x a day. i take one in the morning before i go to work and one at night time before i go to bed.
i guess i will not take it until friday, go back and get my bloodwork tested and then if its too low, take it once a day or try taking a different prescription?

If your dr said it's fine to stop then I wouldn't stress - especially if your numbers weren't a problem and it was just being used as a precaution as opposed to a treatment. Good luck!

Re: Progesterone Side Effects
I am NOT on progesterone, but i have been very light headed and almost passed out a few times. My dr said my blood pressure is super low.

Progesterone Side Effects
I was on the twice a day suppositories as well. I would take the first one in the morning about an hour before I would normally get up to get ready for work and the other I took at night right before bed.
