Hi there. I think your disappointment is very premature :) Any symptoms you have before implantation can only be from your normal hormone cycle. Hence those early symptoms couldn't have anything to do with pregnancy. The absolute earliest you can implant is 5-6 dpo and so it is only a few days after that you could possibly detect anything unusual. So, now is the time to START symptom spotting. Ignore what has gone before :) Speaking from experience there was nothing out of the ordinary when I got pregnant (sadly miscarried at 10 weeks :() except that I didn't spot before AF. My hCG levels were great for the first few weeks so it wasn't from that. We have been trying for 19 months but I know how you feel even after only a couple of months of disappointment. It still tears you apart.

Hope you feel better soon. I often feel very down around the part of the cycle too, so I think it is just the hormones. Progesterone should peak in a couple of days though, and that is the happy hormone :)

Good luck!
