PIO s/e, what and when did you get them?

So I've been on PIO since last Thursday... And all in all I've had only two real side effects. Constantly getting up in the middle of the night to pee... And never being able to go number 2. Doc recommended Colace, it's still not working. Ugh. 

 

Today I'm noticing a couple different things, and I'm wondering if they are a result of the progesterone just really adding up in my system or what.

 

If you were/are on PIO, what symptoms did you have and when did they start?

 

I'm already going crazy and I'm barely into the 2ww!!

Destiny, I so know what you are going through. (((hugs)))

I had the peeing all the time-Hungry like a bear at a salmon convention, I did have constipation a little, I just amped up on things like spinach etc.They all started the 1st week, by the second week I was so beyond moody,weepy,winey, and dramatic. I couldn't stand myself which is polar opposite of my personality. I knew it was the meds.

Hope it lets up a little for ya! <3 Keep telling yourself all worth it when you see that BFP/Positive Beta!!!!

Thank Diva!! Today I'm starting to feel really down, and that's just not ME. I'm also so very irritable. I'm glad this is all normal for the PIO, even though I've been on it for over a week now. Whew! :)

And I repeat the "It'll be worth it, it'll be worth it" every time I'm laying down waiting for DH to stab me LOL

Hungry like a bear at a salmon convention

This is me.  I am a ravenous beast right now (I am taking progesterone shots once a day plus Endometrin twice a day).  I will eat a meal and immediately want to eat another.  It's crazy.  This started the day after transfer, which was my 6th day of shots and my 2nd day of Endometrin.
