Yet another question about oral progesterone

[PrincessWinnie]

So this was my first cycle TTC after my m/c in January and my ob has me taking 200 mg of prometrium after ovulation. They weren't able to do a progesterone test but she wanted me to go on it just in case that was the cause since it was such an early loss (barely 5 weeks). Anyway, I'm about 12 DPO and experiencing ALL the side effects of the prometrium - sore breasts, fatigue, heartburn, etc so essentially all the symptoms of pg. I took a FRER at 10 DPO that was negative but I know that's waaaay too early to depend on.

So my question is, since the progesterone mimics every symptom of pregnancy, can I not put ANY faith into my symptoms or am I going to have to be a crazy POAS lady each month?

yeah, pretty much you cant trust any symptom when on progesterone (even a missed period)

The month I was on progesterone I had 0% chance of pregnancy (it was a month before DF came home for his 2 week leave and I was trying to hold off AF so I would O while he was home, no luck) and would have been convinced I was pregnant and miscarried had I any chance of pregnancy at all.
