Medroxyprogesterone can have some nasty side effects for some people. My sister being one of them.

o_o ... I've read up on it a little, but didn't see any mention of horrible side effects except for depression.  What happened with your sister?

SECOND CYCLE UPDATE:

Okay I just want you all to know that I am going to do this post in cycles. I take progesterone for 10 days a month, so in other words, every month will be a new post to show if anything new happened in that 10 day cycle for that month.

So today is the end of my 2nd 10 day cycle, and so far taking progesterone, the major changes I have noticed all are mood changes. It takes away alot of anxiety and replaces it with a calm/almost depressing feeling; however, the slight depression feeling only lasts the first few days of the cycle. I definitely feel something going on in my breasts but as far as seeing breast growth, that is much more hard to notice since everything happens so slowly. However, I have noticed my breasts are slightly fuller and rounder than they used to be, which leads me to believe the progesterone is working. I do want to point out however that these are all very subtle effects and I am sure with time more will happen, but for now just 2 cycles in, things are still moving slowly. I haven't gained any weight since being on the progesterone in case anyone was wondering about that. Thats all for now!

nice yah I did notice a change in stress level. It went down significantly. But I'm also not cycling yet. Probably in a few years.

There were quite a few things but mainly she went a little bit crazy. There are some reports of depression and psychosis. Her last shot was over a year ago and she said she has just started to feel normal again. I guess it's not extremely common but it happens to some. Weight gain is the most common. A nurse friend of mine said alot of girls gain 20 lbs or more. Now the doses I'm sure are a bit different and transgirls don't have a uterus but yeah...Not to be confused with bio-identical progesterone of course which carries much less risk. I hope to start taking Prometrium soon after my next doc visit.
