I know, complete impossibility - when my IVF cons scanned me at 7 wks she was quite stunned and said, "well, your tubes are something else"!

I also couldn't let myself believe it for a long time - ectopic pg scare at 5 weeks, spotting at 6 weeks. It is only now, when I can feel the baby move, that it feels real. I can't wait to tell him his amazing story!

wow bb and s - err that's an impossibility! The body does do weird things...

But can't let myself be positive. Not sure why not as it will make no difference to the outcome or how upset I am..

peanuthead, I am one of those people for whom a miracle really did happen - 'completely' blocked tubes (seen on an HSG and confirmed by lap and dye - one microscopic hole found in my rt tube and told million to one chance of natural pg) and I am now 23 weeks pg with my 2nd child, conceived naturally . 1st child conceived through IVF.

I don't want to get your hopes up but don't want you to think it's entirely impossible either.

Good luck

no more spotting, no more pain, just a bit of nausea and dizziness

I suppose they have to happen to someone yes - but I do hate the way people spout them at you - esp when you've had really bad news or another failed IVF. And esp as it's always a friend of a friend.

But then I did carry DD to term and she's not even 2 and it's a bit of a mystery to me how I can have good FSH (despite being over 40)and have a toddler yet be told I have no eggs left.

I got 2 follies at ec and neither had anything in them despite E2 levels showing there should have been 2 eggs and I wondered at the time if the consultant botched collection. Or for that matter if that happens quite often - but most people get a good no of follies so noone notices.

I suppose if I do have a chmical pregnancy then I'll at least know for sure that my eggs are shite.

Yes, feeling sick isn't a sure sign of a successful pg, but it's a good sign though - your hormones are responding correctly.

Any more spotting ?

I do personally know some people for whom miracles did happen - so it has to happen to someone.

now starting to feel sick too - much earlier than with DD. But I'm sure you can have proper pregnancy symptoms with a chemical preg/blighted ovum...May post a poll on this depending how desperate I get!

Thanks for the replies - and the congratulations - DH and I haven't even talked about it at all.

I'd love to be one of those miracles people aways trot out when they hear about your IF! I never ever believe them though...

Hi peanuts, can i whisper 'congratulations'

period pains are very, very normal, i also had brown spotting with my first 2 pregnancies and everything went fantastically.

peanuthead - wanted to handhold with you too. It is hard when you have been told there is no hope to allow yourself to hope at all. But miracles do happen, so perhaps this is your time. The waiting is hard and so do come here and vent all you need to.

Hi Caitlin - hooray for your BFP - my last early pg was over xmas so I had distractions - and didn't have the knowledge that I had shit eggs hanging over me.

I started feeling a tiny bit positive about it all today but just been looking up egg quality online - I'm so unlikely to get to the 6 and a half week scan -but I knew that anyway.

I'm most worried about it stuffing up our timings for ed and losing our donor. Have about 6 weeks before I have to tell the clinic before she starts her meds... But then I suppose with when mc is down to poor quality eggs it's usually quite early.

Peanuthead just wanted to send you lots of love and support. Early pregnancy is nerve wracking and the wait for the scan is agonising (I'm 5+1 weeks pregnant after ICSI and am counting the days til my first scan at 7 weeks). I hope it's good news for you when get do arrange your first scan.
