I agree with Kristy, you have to just try and stay positive!  I think that pregnancy and AF symptoms are pretty much exactly the same.  Not only that, but you also have the progesterone side effects, which mimic pregnancy symptoms.  

I didn't have any signs that I was going to get my BFP before hand, except light cramping and sore bbs.  But, I had that with AF before we started IVF so I think they are similar.  They say the cramping is just your uterus making room for you baby(ies).

My nurse also told me that we might not feel "pregnancy symptoms (aka morning sickness)" as early as others b/c it's the hormones that make you sick and we have so many already running through our system from IVF, that we are somewhat used to it.  And, I agree...I haven't felt great since we started the shots b/c of all the hormones so when we got our BFP, I didn't feel any different the first week and a half afterwards and started worrying that something was wrong.  That's when my nurse reassured me everything was fine and so far, so good!  Then, last weekend, morning sickness kicked in!  Not fun, but at least I know it's a good sign!

Good luck on your Beta!!

Period cramps are the only symptom I had during my 2ww Rose so STOP BEING NEGATIVE AND ASSUME YOU ARE PREGNANT TILL PROVEN OTHER WISE :-)  I promise it makes the 2ww easier AND it is not going to be any less painful to get a BFP reguardless of how positive you are that it did work.  I promise.  Hugs!!!! xoxoxoxo
