Progesterone vs pregnancy symptoms

Sparrow

I've been religiously slathering on the progesterone cream since 1DPO. I've had more symptoms I think than usual. A lot more cramping. Sore boobs, nausea, and a little cramping are normal for me before AF but I feel like they started sooner. I poas 2 days ago (10dpo) and bfn. But I've never actually gotten a bfp until a day or two late. Could my symptoms be from the progesterone cream? TIA.
