Bloated or “showing”? Progesterone.
Just needing some encouragement or someone who can relate. I’m a FTM and almost 9 weeks and I am SO bloated. I can’t fit into any of my clothes, and it’s ALL over. I feel like it’s even in my face. My provider has me taking progesterone due to my history, and told me I can stop taking it next week once I’m 10 weeks. I also had to take Provera and Clomid prior to this pregnancy, so I know I’ve just been pumped with hormones. I can’t tell if this is the progesterone, bloating, or weight gain??? Like am I just going to keep getting bigger and bigger by the week or will this slow down??? I’ve stayed away from the scale because numbers get in my head. But I’m 5’1 with a short torso, so I know that’s working against me. I just feel so self conscious. I think this is extra hard because I’m still not telling anyone, so usually I would vent to friends, or get some advice from some other moms. and right now I’m just internalizing. So maybe my Reddit friends can help a girl out if you’ve been there! Thanks :)
