Does anyone take oral BIOIDENTICAL progesterone capsules?? I was just prescribed 100 mg once daily. If anyone has used, did you have side effects??

Hey there; I don’t recall breast swelling but it’s a possibility bc most hormones cause that for me. I didn’t experience any weight gain though. The natural hormone seems to work better me.

Thanks Brittani. Did you notice any weight gain or breast swelling use the progesterone?

Yes! I was on Progesterone for some time. I cannot use synthetic Progesterone as it gives me MASSIVE migraines and many other symptoms. The bio-identical hormones work much better for me and without any terrible side effects. I did use them at night, however, because they make me very drowsy!

Melissa,
I use the estradiol patch also. Do you notice weight gain or water retention from your progesterone?? Does it help control your endometriosis?

To be honest all drugs that we take or given by our GP or gayno or endo dr will tell u their always side affects they have responsibility to look after u and yr health if they dnt u have allergies or get ill from drug u complain about they can get alot trouble or they not a very good dr.
I am on Estradot patches i have wear them for three days then put new patches, iam also on Utrogestan pills 100mg i take then every night its easier for me take at night because i am terrible swollowing tablets so i stick up my vingina it works faster.
