Progesterone is no joke - landed me in ER
So I started my HRT journey a little over a month ago. I’ve had terrible side effects to Progesterone. I took 100mg Prometrium. The first night I took it I had no idea it was going to make me feel drunk and put me to sleep. For the next month I took in orally and then vaginally until my doctor said I couldn’t do that. So I went back to orally. The P makes me feel really tired, depressed and unmotivated. The other day I took the tablet and followed it with a some creamy pasta. Oh my lord. I started stumbling, slurring my words, dropping my phone - I thought I was having a stroke. My partner who was interstate called an uber and sent me to Emergency. I have honestly never felt so terrible in my life! On top of this whilst I was in ER I had a terrible urge to poop and I am unable to poop in a public toilet so the nurse and I had a little chuckle when I told her I think it’s best I go home than poop my pants for the night - probably unrelated to the P but was funny. I am booked in to have a Mirena placed this month but I think this is the end of my HRT journey. It’s meant to make me feel better but I have never felt worse in my life. I’m still fatigued from my ER incident two days ago….
