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!!

I had some cramping, incredibly tired, and constantly going to the bathroom. My temperature went up a bit early last week and has maintained that higher temp since. But I've not been nauseated, boobs only sore from progesterone, sense of smell hasn't changed. Trying not to think about what isn't happening and focus on what is  :-)  My sister had no symptoms for three months. Same with a friend who had twins recently from IVF. So I keep reminding myself that the numbers are what I need to focus on.

When do you test? Have you tested at home?
