Side effects of progesterone in test tube infants

Test tube baby is an assisted reproductive technology, in which progesterone is often used to promote the continuation of pregnancy. Although progesterone has many advantages in helping pregnancy, it may also cause some side effects. The following are the common side effects of IVF progesterone:

1. Emotional fluctuation

Progesterone may cause mood swings in women. Some feelings include anxiety, irritability, mood fluctuations, irritability, etc. These emotional changes may cause inconvenience to individuals' daily life, and have a certain negative impact on their psychological and emotional state.

In addition, because the IVF process itself carries a lot of emotional stress, and progesterone may further affect hormone levels, the problem of emotional fluctuations may be more common in the IVF process.

For the side effects of emotional fluctuations, it is recommended that IVF patients communicate with doctors to seek appropriate psychological support and suggestions to help understand and manage emotional changes.

2. Breast discomfort

Progesterone may also cause breast discomfort. Some women may experience discomfort such as breast pain, sensitivity or tenderness when receiving IVF. These symptoms are usually due to the effect of progesterone on hormone levels.

In fact, progesterone mainly promotes the continuation of pregnancy by increasing the development of breast tissue, so breast discomfort is a common side effect. In this case, it is usually recommended to wear comfortable underwear to avoid excessive stimulation of the breast to reduce discomfort.

3. Nausea and vomiting

Nausea and vomiting are another common side effect of progesterone use. This may be due to the effects of progesterone on the body leading to digestive system discomfort. Especially in the early pregnancy, the hormone level changes dramatically. For some women, this side effect is more obvious.

If IVF patients have severe nausea and vomiting symptoms, it is recommended to consult a doctor. There may be other symptomatic treatments to improve this side effect.

4. Target organ pain

The target organ pain caused by progesterone is also a known side effect during IVF. Target organs include ovary, uterus and breast. After taking progesterone, some women may experience discomfort or pain in these organs.

This pain is often temporary and may be related to the effects of progesterone on these organs. Generally speaking, the pain will not last too long, but if the pain is too severe or lasts too long, the patient should consult a doctor in time.

summary

Side effects of IVF progesterone include mood swings, breast discomfort, nausea and vomiting, and target organ pain. Although these side effects may cause some inconvenience to women's comfort, they are usually temporary and manageable during IVF. Patients should keep close communication with doctors when receiving progesterone treatment, so as to monitor and reduce side effects.
