Default Just diagnosed. have a question

Hi I've bee non the site before but not this forum. I havent posted in awhile...They put me on progesterone(prometrium) and metformin. I have not yet got the metformin but the prometrium is kicking my butt and I have only taken 2 pills. I kind of hurt all over, have nausea, and feel tired. Is that normal? I kind of feel a little scared about only taking 2 and feeling this way. Whats in store if I keep taking it and how will it work with the metformin which I hear has some pretty nasty side affects by itself?

My progesterone always gives me a nasty case of PMS for the first couple of days I take it. The cramps get awful on day 4, and usually my period starts on the day I take the last pill. I know it's not usually supposed to start until a couple of days later, but I'm just lucky, I guess, haha.

Thanks for your answer. I kind of feel beat up or as if I have exercised the day before or something which I have not. I called the nurse and she said prometrium doesnt have side effects like pain and stuff like that and I'm kinda thinking then why are they in the warnings But she said to take it for the 10 days and see if my body adjusts. We will see. Starting the metformin tonight.
