I am 5 weeks PG and have a question. Sorry if too much information, but I have vaginal swelling - it actually is a little difficult to administer my Prometrium. Is this a side effect of the Prometrium or is it PG related? Should I be concerned about this? I appreciate your advice and thank you.
I also have one other stupid PG woman question. I gave up caffeine over 8 weeks ago before I started this current IVF cycle (I did not drink that much caffeine before). I was out last night and thought I was drinking a decaf Diet Coke with dinner but it must have been caffeinated as I was up till 3 am, very jittery and had a pounding headache this morning. I probably had about 20-24 oz (I had not had a diet coke in so long and it just tasted so good I went a little overboard), and I am wondering exactly how bad is that much caffeine on a 5 week fetus? I hope I do not sound like a complete nut case but since I was up till 3 am of course all I could do is worry that I had somehow damaged the embryo/fetus developmentally. What is your opinion? And yes I will be much more careful in the future.

Progesterone, itself, should not cause swelling of you rvagina. I do not know if there are any preservatives or dyes in Pometrium, which may cause a problem. Ingestion of small amounts of caffeine should not cause a problem,
Congratulations!
