Does progesterone cause acne for you ladies?

I’ve been breaking out bad around my mouth and Chin area ever since starting the progesterone pressaries. It so bad and I never had acne like this ever, not to mention it hurts.. but of course anything to make this baby stick! I’m just not sure if it’s my stress or progesterone.

I remember feeling pretty terrible while taking progesterone but I don't remember it causing acne

I rarely get acne but it kicked in the first several weeks. I've had to stay on tope of my skin care. Washing morning and night, following with a toner, and then moisturizing has been helping. I can tell my skin has been a bit more oily than before.

Ah thanks ladies. Looking like shit during my first trimester really makes me moody especially since I don’t have acne. Hope it calms down soon

I’ve been taking vaginal progesterone since I founding out I’m pregnant and it’s definitely been causing me to break out 😭 I know it’s the progesterone otherwise my skin is really nice and clear during my pregnancies!
