Signs of pregnancy

Dear expert team,

My question is of a theoretical nature and relates to pregnancy. Is it possible to notice pregnancy symptoms before implantation due to the increase in progesterone from fertilization? What would these roughly be, and would the increase in progesterone also increase the chance of PMS for this period?

Thank you very much.
Best regards

Good day,

Since more progesterone is also produced without pregnancy (the follicle turns into corpus luteum, which produces progesterone), you cannot distinguish your well-being whether you are pregnant or not.

Whether pregnant or not: In both cases, progesterone levels rise in the second half of the cycle. This has nothing to do with PMS.

Warm regards, Dr. Höllering
