Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can share their experience with me. This is my fourth IVF transfer but my first using progesterone pessaries. I fell pregnant on my first IVF cycle but lost the baby at 9 weeks. All transfers since then have been BFN. My last transfer I had a progesterone blood test which showed slighty too low progesterone levels so my FS put me on 400mg pessaries twice a day for this TWW.

My blood test is this Friday and I have read that progesterone pessaries will delay your AF, and so far no bleeding - I usually would have started to spot by now. My question is really about the side effects of these pessaries and how to distinguish between these and pregnancy symptoms. I've felt nauseous/queasy for the last four days and it seems to be getting worse - it does feel very similar to when i was last pregnant. I've had a bit of cramping on and off and slighty sore boobs. All of these things are listed as symptoms on the pessaries information though!! I did not have these symtoms when I first started using the pessaries, they have come on in the last 5 or so days, but are not constant.

Anyone had these symptoms while on pessaries and what was the outcome? I'd really appreciate anyone who can share their experience. I really don't want to get my hopes up 'cos it's too painful...

thanks,

Infinity
