Prometruim supplements and water retention?

ashdonne

Because I was low progesterone with my last pregnancy my doctor put me on supplements vaginally as soon as I found out I was pregnant (about 3-4 weeks along).  My first appointment with new OB was today and granted it was a different scale but if its accurate I've gained about 7 pounds since finding out I was pregnant!!!  I have felt extremely bloated, very swollen fingers, and also swelling in my feet/eyes most days.  I expressed my concern to the OB and she wasn't worried.  She said that the extra progesterone causes water retention and I should level out once I get off supplements in 2nd tri.  Anyone else having this issue?  I just feel disgusting and concern because hoping to keep weight gain at 15-20 pounds.
