Tara, I understand how difficult it is to "wait and see." My experiences have been similar to yours. I had two early miscarriages (chemical pg) and then became pg shortly after the second m/c. I had NO symptoms, but my HCG levels were indicative of a healthy pg. I'm now in my 24th week, all seems to be well with the baby, and I've yet to have any of the usual symptoms other than a period of time when I had food aversions. Try to relax and enjoy! You're doing everything you can to have a healthy pregnancy. Some things are just beyond our control. Try to be positive! Good luck!
