Progesterone question

I'm currently 6-7dpo and have been feeling slight nausea for a few days. I know it is too early for pregnancy symptoms and so I'm thinking it's possibly my reaction to progesterone? When do progesterone levels peak? Im sure as I get older, I'm becoming more sensitive to various things and nausea isn't uncommon post ovulation (for me).

Sorry, meant 7-8dpo.

Progesterone peaks around 7dpo depending on your luteal length

Thanks. That's what I thought. Trying to keep symptom spotting to a minimum but after 5 miscarriages and a 3 year gap in TTC it's hard!

It's very hard :( fingers crossed the next few days fly by so you can test!

I think that you do get more sensitive to it as you get older. In all my years of having periods, I never had any symptoms in my tww at all whenever I came off birth control. After coming off birth control again to start ttc last year, I now get super sore boobs almost every month in the tww. I’ve been pregnant twice in the past and sore boobs was my first symptom when I was around 4 weeks but I’ve not been pregnant once in over a year and now I get sore boobs anyway. You don’t get actual pregnancy symptoms until you’re at least a few weeks pregnant and it’s such a bitch that progesterone can mimic them. Sorry to hear of your losses, I hope you get your bfp soon!
