Progestrone symtoms or pregnancy?

Hi guys! I'm 9dp5dt and I'm slowly going crazy 🤪

I have had AF cramps pretty much since transfer day but I'm also on progestrone suppositories and injections that I know can give me these symptoms?

My progestrone level at transfer was 174. I had a tiny amount of brown discharge on wiping 7dp5dt but nothing since but the cramping has stayed.

I'm just wondering am I likely getting my AF and am I likely to get it whilst on the progestrone treatment?

I'm so scared to test Saturday because I can't cope with the hearbreak of seeing "not pregnant" looking back at me xx

Hi! The two week wait is so hard...I had period-like cramps with both my failed and my successful FET, so I'd say it's impossible to say whether they are period or implantation or progesterone-induced ones. They feel the same. Hang in there! I hope the embie sticks :)

The tww is killer! Symptom spotting can drive you insane (I know from experience 🤣) and the reality is there is absolutely no way to know if it worked or not until your OTD. Try and find something to occupy your mind like binge watching something, reading your favourite book, trying a new hobby basically anything that takes your mind off the tww. Also why not plan something nice to do with your partner, like a day trip or mini break, after OTD so whatever the outcome you will have something to look forward to. Good luck x
