Hi ladies. I have been using progesterone suppositories since midway through IVF and probably have to use them till I (hopefully) reach 12 weeks. I'm using the white waxy ones that look like bullets. I have been having some nasty side effects and the main one is a burning itch like thrush. My doctor says its common and to use Canestan but it has had no effect. I have read some mixed reviews online about P and it seems some women do have allergic reactions to it. Has anyone else experienced this and know what I can use to cool this burning?
It seems our other symptoms like tiredness, sore breasts etc are all due to this hormone. But I also have very sore joints around my pelvis - like groin aches, hip pain etc.
Im only around 6 weeks now.
Any feedback appreciated

Just popped in to say huge mabrook ???????on your pgcy! I am so happy for you and ur dh! May you have a safe pgcy! I read the news after eid, but always got distracted in the mid of typing to say congrats. Back to ur question, I was a total mess emotionally & physically with all pgcies untill 16 weeks, and not sure if its due to progesterone. I took suppositories and oral tablets.
