Can I jump on your post!!
For context, myself and my partner have been trying to conceive for around two years now. We had a miscarriage 18 months ago and since then found out I have a few health issues like a high thyroid level (which has now been sorted) but perhaps more importantly i didn't ovulate regularly. I also have PCOS.
As of March this year, I have been taking Clomid. It worked in March, but not April. But then i ovulated in June and July after the dose was upped to 100mg. This month, however, I have been getting what could be described as pregnancy symptoms.
I am due to have my period tomorrow, but six days ago i began having cramps, pain on her right side near the belly, back ache as well as hot flushes, sickness (though just feeling queezy, no vomiting) and loss of appetite. My boobs also feel bruised. Is this a sign of implantation, is this how it usually feels? Does implantation usually occur a week before AF?
When I do get a period, i often gets cramps a day or two prior, so for these cramps to crop up this early and linger is definitely not normal for me.
I ovulated 12 days ago for context and we have tested a couple of times this week included an early detection one this morning which was negative.
Are we testing too early? Does anyone else here have a story similar to this?
Also my progesterone level was 45 this month, is this a good level to be pregnant or should it be higher?
Thankyou!
