You're 13 days post-IUI and experiencing various symptoms.

Common Symptoms with Progesterone

Headache: A possible side effect of progesterone.

Leg pains and back pain: Could be related to progesterone or hormonal changes.

Mouth watering: Not a typical symptom, but hormonal fluctuations might contribute.

Period-like pain: Could be a sign of implantation or hormonal changes.

Pregnancy Test Timing

Wait until your period is due: Take a pregnancy test on the day your period is expected or a day later for more accurate results.

Avoid early testing: Testing too early can lead to false negatives or inaccurate results.

What to Do

Continue progesterone medication: Finish the prescribed course as directed by your doctor.

Stay hydrated and manage symptoms: Drink plenty of water, and consider over-the-counter pain relievers for headaches and body aches.

Schedule a follow-up appointment: Visit your doctor after your period is due for a pregnancy test and further guidance.

When I lie down and then get up to walk, I experience a heavy feeling or difficulty in breathing for about 2 to 3 minutes. I also notice a heaviness in my upper abdomen during this time. After those few minutes, I feel normal again. I've had an X-ray, CT scan, ECG, and a 2D echo, and all the results came back normal. Should I be worried about this, or am I just overthinking it?

I'm dealing with this dull aching pain under my left breast, near my armpit, and it's been there for about two years now. It feels a bit better if I press on it, but it's still really painful. I was put on anxiety meds, but they haven't helped at all. What could be causing this pain and is there anything else I could try?

I'm experiencing some palpitations over the past few days, so I decided to get an ECG done. It showed a slight elevation in v4 and v5. Could you check things over for me? My echo came back as normal.

The presence of slight ST elevation in V4 and V5 on an ECG can sometimes indicate issues such as early repolarization or, in more serious cases, ischemia or myocardial infarction. Given your palpitations and the ECG findings, it's important to follow up with a cardiologist, even if your echocardiogram (echo) is normal. The echo provides information on the structure and function of the heart, but the ECG findings and your symptoms warrant further evaluation to rule out any acute or chronic cardiac conditions.
