Is it a imbalance of progesterone ?

I don’t get it. I take the lh test, comes back with a blaring positive...wait a couple days, my temp goes up showing ovulation. A week later, I test for progesterone with the Proov test that shows I’ve ovulated Anf my progesterone is on the rise.

BUT every single cycle since I went off of bc and started trying, my boobs get SUPER sore (they’ve always gotten sore but it’s getting worse I think) I get cramping, but not period cramping, more like pinching and only on my right side, and I start spotting. This all happens like clockwork 4 days BEFORE af.

Da heck is happening? Is my body producing progesterone, just not enough? Everything seems to be going smoothly and then wham bam this happens.

I’m seeing my doctor in October, I just want to see if anyone has had a similar situation and can share.
