I am so sorry that you are feeling so scared, it is very normal to be concerned when you are trying so hard to get pregnant. However, at this point it is still too early to know for sure why you are having the symptoms that you describe. They could be side effects of the progesterone you are taking, or maybe from something else. usually symptoms of pregnancy start after a few weeks of pregnancy and not this quickly. However, it is not possible to know at this point whether or not you are pregnant. You should hang in there for now and wait for the testing in five days. I know that it is hard, but you need to be strong. I hope everything works out and that you hear good news when you get tested. Good luck!
