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!!

Hi Rose. Good Luck to you this month. I just had my transfer 4 days ago. We transferred two embryos. Its nice to know there are threads out there so us in this world of infertility can lean on eachother. My friends who are all pregnant just dont seem to really understand. They try to be there for me, but I dont feel like they really get it. We all hope and deserve a BFP.

I totally understand how you feel... it definitely helps to be here and share our stories and thoughts with other people who are going through this.
I am getting closer to retrieval and this is my second time around. Very scared this time even much more than the 1st. I am not worried about the procedure itself but very worried about the outcome.
It is taking so much out of me and I really need it to work this time!! I guess I have to pray and pray and hope for the best.
When is your beta scheduled for?
