10 dpo Symptom Checker, Progesterone, Am I out?

Hello! New here. I've been TTC baby 1 for 10 months. Charting and temping and planning everything perfectly.

I have a luteal phase defect. Been on progesterone 100mg suppositories for 3 months.

I am currently 10 dpo and received a BFN with FMU on Wondfo test this morning.

Current Symptoms: VERY tired, dull heavy feeling cramps all the time, some more painful cramps on left side that come and go, heartburn, very emotional, bloated and gassy.

I get so frustrated because the progesterone mimics pregnancy symptoms.

Every month I start getting cramps around 8 dpo and it feels like AF is about to start. (before progesterone my luteal phase was 8-10 days) Now I don't get AF until I stop progesterone. (usually comes on 2 days after I stop taking it) So the Prog. has increased my luteal phase by 5 days

Question: is the progesterone not "really" working. Is my body still preparing for AF on 8 dpo but the progesterone simply puts off AF until I stop taking it??
