I took progesterone vaginally until 13 weeks but I can’t remember if I experienced this. Did you recently start it?

Yes! So weird thing I have two different looking progesterone pills. One was prescribed from my Maternal Fetal doctor before I got my cerclage because she saw how urgently I needed it. The next day I got my cerclage done and the actual hospital prescribed me progesterone as well with the same milligrams but the capsules look different. I took the one from my doctor first because the hospital RX ones weren’t ready and within 20 min or so I got extreme chills and shakes and my nipples felt like they were on literal fire 🔥

I just got the hospital RX ones today which I took in the hospital and didn’t experience those issues with that one and I took it again tonight and I was okay so whew 😥 but I’m still wondering why that happened to me with the other brand. It was terrifying.
