Hi,
Progesterone intake can result in side effects like nausea, abdominal pain, drowsiness, headache, mood swings, dry mouth, indigestion, diarrhea, breast pain and depression. It can also result in unusual weight gain, which is the most deceiving side effect. But low levels of the hormone not actually causes gain in weight, but results in water retention or bloating.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
