Wow stomach is HORRIBLY bloated today. Didn't use my second dose of progesterone cream last night, and don't plan on using it today. However, I am so happy I am not retaining water in all the wrong places anymore! 
I always thought I had back fat....NOPE! Just a crap-ton of water retention!!! lol breasts are smaller because of loss of water retention though, but its ok, they will just get rounder faster! Hopefully Nipples are pointing more up AND FORWARD!! Didn't even realize they needed to point more forward until I looked at pictures. I just want to say I think my bloated stomach is because yesterday if I had a perfect 28 day cycle, I should have ovulated. I did have some signs of ovulation, however, don't know why I'd still be bloated today. It's actually becoming uncomfortable...almost like an enlarged organ discomfort! I think it is because I used it a week before my luteal phase. You are supposed to use it last two weeks of your cycle. I know that bloating is common when altering hormone levels and that my body is super sensitive and responds quickly to changes, so I am trying not to worry too much, just the discomfort and cramping scared me a bit. I want to post pics, I am just a little nervous! and the difference is harder to see in pics, and also if its not personally on yourself. But I might post pics after my next period!
