For all those TTC for what seems like an eternity- I hope I can give you some hope!

This seems so surreal to type this but I have just done a HPT and it's a BFP!

That probably doesn't seem odd in itself but it's an absolute miracle for us. We TTC for 5 years, had loads of investigations (diagnosed with 'unexplained infertility'), had 2 IUI's (BFN) then told that DH's sperm wasn't really all that good after all, so were referred for IVF (ICSI) which resulted in our beautiful DS who has just turned one.

We are lucky to have 7 frozen embryos from our IVF cycle so agreed that we would try a FET cycle in Feb 2009 to try for a sibling. In the meantime however we have been 'TTC' each month on the off chance that a miracle might occur. Being 'infertile' coupled with me still breastfeeding 2x day didn't seem to be the best start to getting PG! However, today I am CD 35 and did a HPT after feeling a little icky and it's a BFP!!!!

I was sure we hadn't even done it at the right times this month! So it just goes to show that there is always hope. I just wanted to post this to try to give some hope those of you who are going through the horrible TTC rollercoaster month after month, I know how crappy it can be. I always thought those 'natural' pregnancies after IVF were made up but now I don't think they are!

Best wishes and good luck for all those TTC, I hope your dreams come true.
