Please help me stay positive

My beta for IVF #3 is on Tuesday, but I'm having lots of "AF is around the corner" symptoms - sore boobs; headaches; etc.  I know that many women who are ultimately pg feel like AF is around the corner. And, I'm trying - really, really hard - to keep a positive attitude about this cycle.  Right now, I'm just not doing so well with that.  Can I lean on you wonderful women for a little bit and will you send me some positive thoughts? 

Hoping for a more positive outlook tomorrow!

Well here's three for you! 

1. Many women (including me) have AF symptoms prior to a BFP.

2.  #3 is a lucky number.

3. See #1 again.

I had all of the symptoms you described & was shocked when the nurse called telling me I was pregnant.  I had been at the RE the morning of the beta looking at donor embryo profiles making plans for what I was sure was going to be the "sorry you're not pregnant" phonecall.  It sucks that the symptoms of AF mimic the ones of being pregnant.   Just hang in there a few more days.  I didn't POAS cause I wanted to hear the news, good or bad, from someone on the phone.  Have you thought about testing?

Stay positive. Symptoms or lack of symptoms tell you nothing. Good luck!!

Wishing you luck.  When I got pg with DD, I was so sure that AF was coming that I didn't want to test again.  Imagine my shock when DH convinced me to test and we saw pink lines.  My AF symptoms were actually early pg symptoms.  Good luck!

The 3 BFP's that I've ever had were ALWAYS when I thought AF was coming to visit.  You could have knocked me over when I found out that I was PG. 

Anything is possible and everything that you're describing could go either way.  My fingers are crossed for you and hoping for good news!
