[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Fever at highest was 102. I’ve been having dull uterine aches and sore boobs. Both those symptoms have been coming and going. I’m just so scared! I really want this baby. [/quote]

Deep breaths, OP.  Uterine aches and sore boobs are totally normal...and those symptoms may come and go for the next few weeks, which is also totally normal.  
Call your RE or nurse and ask about the fever...similar to PPs, elevated temp was another sign for me that I was pregnant (once as a result of an FET, and once as a complete surprise).  Mine never broke 100, though.
I get the feelings of anxiety, being pregnant after IVF.  For me, there was this sense of shock that it actually worked, and then complete panic that something would go wrong for the next nine months, despite the fact that I had a perfectly normal, healthy pregnancy.  It made for a miserable pregnancy and eventually led to post-partum anxiety after my DD was born.  Try to find an outlet for your stress...read a book, go for a walk (within reason, based on your fever), try yoga or meditation, watch a comedy or some sort of mindless tv show/movie...whatever you can think of to take your mind off of things for the next two weeks or so, until you get in for that first ultrasound.[/quote]
