I get worried about my lack of symptoms too. When I got pregnant, I never got the dark areolas, no implantation bleeding, no veins on the BBs, no implantation cramps, nothing.
Now all I have is the occasional cramp and some nausea in the mornings, but I haven't thrown up yet. It's more like my stomach is just turning and I feel like I COULD throw up, but I never do.
I'm not exactly complaining that I'm not throwing up, but I wish I had more symptoms so I could be assured something isn't wrong.
I never had any of those things either - I mentioned on another bit that I'd had bleeding with dd at 5 weeks ish which I think was implantation but with this one...nothing.
I'm trying to set my mind set as "there's no point in worrying because I won't know until May" (when my 12 weeks scan is) but it is difficult, I also read a comment on here once where someone had said something along the lines of you're getting symptoms which is a sign that things are fine which threw me a little and made me worry more. But it is true...you can have a pretty symptomless pregnancy and it all be fine!
I imagine out scans will be quite close together? My edd is 21st November, I've had my scan dates through as 11th May and 3rd July (20 week)

My first scan is April 28th, but I'm hoping to have it moved up. Another reason I'm terrified of miscarrying is that my father was diagnosed last week with a genetic blood clotting disorder called Factor V Leiden, which may or may not have passed to me. I'm undergoing testing in 10 days, and if I have it, my chances of miscarriage shoot up and I move from a normal pregnancy to a high risk pregnancy. So this is another reason I'm symptom spotting like a madwoman, I want to make sure everything is okay.
Oh gosh, I'm really sorry to hear about your dad, is he ok? I would be exactly the same as you with the symptom spotting, but try not to panic, I'm glad they're doing the testing early for you. I imagine the next ten days will feel quite long my oh has a genetic disorder in his family (a form of muscular dystrophy) and we had to go through testing before trying as the form is fatal, it's a scary time. I hope it all goes ok for you and baby xx
