Is it a symptom or is it the progesterone?

Tomorrow is D-Day. The two week wait is finally over. My wife has had tender/swollen breasts and has been nausea the last three days. We are in our third attempt of IVF. In our two previous attempts my wife already was spotting and getting her period at this point. My wife has not spotted yet. Also this is the first time we have transferred blastocysts. The other times we have transferred morulas.

We have not taken an HPT for fear of a false positive/negative. So tomorrow is the big day.

My question to you all is the nausea and the swollen breasts related to the progesterone or is it possible they are pregnancy symptoms?

Thanks for everyone's support!

Thanks for all the well wishes. My wife had the Beta this morning. We are waiting on the results. She woke up in the middle of the night because her breasts were tender. She was nausous yesterday and had a bad taste in her mouth. Her boobs are huge with blue veins... Oh please dear g-d make this be the one...

Is this the progesterone doing this or is it potentially pregnancy?

OOO thats a great sign! : )     progesterone can defintely imitate pregnancy sympotms, HOWEVER, anytime a cycle is different than a previous negative cycle its a GREAT sign! definteyl sounds promising to me, and tender breasts and nausea are some of the first symptoms people notice when pregnant for sure!!! GOOD LUCK, keeping yall in my prayers, keep us updated! hopefully we'll see a BFP post from yall tomorrow! : )
