Pretty positive I'm losing my mind...

I symptom spot every month. But it is always the same symptoms that I'm pretty sure are caused by the progesterone - breast tenderness, cramping, moody. I am 12dpiui - my third cycle. I had some pretty intense cramping on Sunday evening, and since Monday I have been having 2 new symptoms. First, if I don't eat for more than 2-3 hours I get a very jittery feeling. I don't even feel hungry but it immediately goes away after I eat. Also, I have this weird rolling feeling in my belly. Not in a specific location, just a generalized feeling that you would get when driving over a steep hill or are nervous. It doesn't make me feel like I could vomit, but it makes me feel like I don't want to eat. I am not particularly nervous about anything in my life currently so I'm getting my hopes up, unfortunately. Has anyone experienced this with a previous pregnancy? Or has anyone experienced this while on progesterone (so I should probably settle down)?

Unfortunately it is probably the progesterone. At this point, if you are pregnant, you don't have enough HCG to make any symptoms appear. I get symptoms every time I take the progesterone, but I've had 2 BFNs, when I felt sure they'd be BFPs.

@NurseTMD85 , for me the same exact thing happened after both fresh ivf cycles.  My breasts were sore, areolas darker, cramps, rumbling etc. On both i had bfn.  Unfortunately the medication amps your body up so much you can't differentiate between being preggo, or it just being the medication until you beta test

Unfortunately that happened to me after both IUI's and I wasn't even on progesterone . I even threw up once. My boobs were so sore and I had pretty much every "symptom" possible. You COULD be pregnant, unfortunately it could just be symptoms of the med. It really does suck that the symptoms are the same. I hope this is your month hun, hang in there!!

Obviously, no one could tell either way, although if you POAS, you'll likely turn a positive by now if you are.

I was on progesterone for two TI cycles before my successful IUI. However, I had very different symptoms, and just KNEW something was different. 3 days after the IUI, my uterus just felt heavy. I was also feeling some pinching and all sort of twinges. By a week later, I was out of this world exhausted (I'd always be a little more tired the first few days on progesterone, but that was a whole different level of tired). I peed on so many sticks, it was ridiculous. But I needed to know because I felt so different...but not everyone has any symptoms, especially not that early. I'll have my FX for you!

Thanks ladies! I had another BFN today so I'm thinking I'm probably out this month

Symptom spotting is a disheartening game to play.  My only advice to you (and to everyone) is don't do it!  You can't trust symptoms following an IUI.  Like the others said before me, it's too early for you to be experiencing pregnancy symptoms.  Most women report zero symptoms before they get their BFP.  So there's no way to tell either way.  Still, I hope you get your BFP on the 15th!!!
