A member asked:

Can your stomach feel hard from progesterone pessaries?

Dr. Jennifer Austin answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Progesterone: A hard stomach is not a direct side effect of progesterone pessaries, but they can cause constipation and gas. This might be the cause of your hard stomach, but your doc will be able to check it out for sure.
