extreme fatigue

I'm wondering if what I'm experiencing is normal.

Last month was my 1st month on Clomid.  It was unsuccessful.  I never got AF, so I'm now on progesterone pills to bring it on.  I'm on day 5.  Over the last week or two, I have been extremely tired.  I don't think I've EVER been this tired.  I don't have energy to do much at all and I'm starting to feel like I can't live a normal life.  I do take prenatal vitamins daily. 

Just curious if anyone has experienced this.  On the paper the pharmacy gives with the rx info, it doesn't show fatigue as a side effect.  So, I don't know what's causing it.

Hey Tigger Iwas doing fine until the progesteron. It is supposed to make you very tired. That is what women have a lot of when they are pregnant the first few months that's why they always sleep. I am on my third day of prog shots and suppositories and I feel like I want to crawl back in bed. I hope this helps. I did some research but have done this twice plus the clomid and had the same thing happen each time!

Tigger,
Progesterone makes me extremely tired!  Horribly tired!  You are not alone!  When I am taking it, it gets to the point where I am too tired to get off the couch and walk to my bed and go back to sleep.  Just be lazy and enjoy it for the time being!
