I am pregnant and my obgyn put me on progesterone because my levels were a bit low. Do you gain weight from this? I feel huge already and I am only a month pregnant . Also, if you are careful what you eat, do you have to gain a lot of weight? I gained 60 with my first and 65 with my second! I ate smart but lots of carbs and meat.

What can I do next?

I took it once to jump start my period. I got really bloated from it- didn't gain much weight though.

I took Prometrium because of have a hormone imbalance and when I started taking it I actually lost weight. I gained a lot of weight when I was pregnant because I held a lot of water in my tissue. Most of it was gone in the first month.

I've taken this twice (crinone though) another suppostitory. It made me very bloated but did not gain extra weight. I was maternity clothes largely b/c of the bloating. Good luck and God Bless.

I had to take that when i was pregnant due to previous miscarriage, and i didnt notice any weight gain other prego weight. Also the eating thing i think its genetics..my sister and i have big babies, we were big babies as well, i was 9lbs 0 oz at birth...when i was pregnant i gained 50lbs, and didnt watch what i ate. It was a free for all. My sister was prego the sametime and she ate very healthy and worked out 5 days a week all the way upto her delivery, and she gained 65lbs, her second she did do as well on the working out part but ate really healthy and still gained 67lbs...she is now pregnant with her third and is 13 weeks and already showing...like i said we do have big babies, 8.12, 8.14, and 8.15, those are the weights of our kids, i really do think its genetics. Good luck!!! Wish you well!
