Hi,
congrats on the positive beta! As for the lack of symptoms, don't worry
about it. Each pregnancy is different. The only pregnancy I had any
symptoms with at all was my first...I had sore breasts, tiredness,
hungry, but no morning sickness and I miscarried that pregnancy at 8
weeks.
With my next two pregnancies I felt no pregnancy symptoms. Never had
sore breasts, never had morning sickness etc. I did have some pulling
and crampiness fairly early on as the uterus was stretching, but other
than that nada. Those babies are now 3 and 2 years old.
Good luck, and I wish you the very best. I battled infertility for
years.
