Okay, so in the luteal phase, we have a rise in progesterone. That rise gives way to many “pregnancy symptoms” women feel (bloating, constipation, headaches, back aches... with estrogen, sore boobs)...

I am 4 days away from AF, is it safe to say that if I can feel those symptoms wane, I am not pregnant? I am no longer bloated; cramping at 7dpo— obviously not anymore. In fact, I feel physically GREAT. That’s not a good sign of rising HCG, right? 😔
