I've never had so much as the faintest line before, so really not sure? Sorry for rubbish pic quality BTW.

I only tested as even though I had AF six days ago, my temps have remained in their post ovulatory state.

I'm sure it is an evap, but even getting the chance to post the question is qutterly thrilling

Thank you so much again everyone. Still can't believe it this morning!

littlemimosa I don't mind at all The hidden infections test is done by Serum Clinic in Athens on menstrual blood. It tests for bacterial load and hidden chlamydia (hidden C does not come up on standard chlamydia tests) Penny the clinic director also explained that hidden infections can cause poor sperm quality (dp had been told he only had 16% motility) I tested positive for hidden c and we both had to take a mammoth course of antibiotics. Within two cycle sections I'm pregnant Penny has seen lot s of cases of pregnancies after treatment, even in couples who have been trying to conceive for ages. I'm not saying it's a magic bullet for everybody, but I really don't think I would have gotten my bfp if it wasn't for Serum. They are amazing!

So pleased for you OP! This thread has made my morning. :)

littlemimosa · 17/06/2017 00:04

Congratulations OP!
What a wonderful story. Like someone else says these threads give others hope. Just goes to show the measurements they use for things like AMH etc are so arbitrary.
Just out of curiosity what do you mean by 'hidden infections? Why did they give you antibiotics (if I'm not being too rude asking....Feel free to tell me to mind my own business!)?

Was following this thread as those lines on the cheapies were the exact same for my BFP with my daughter. Was keeping my fingers crossed for you and am so pleased to see that you are undeniably pregnant!! Congratulations I'm sure you are giving hope to other women that Doctor's aren't always right x.

Mummamayhem · 16/06/2017 21:08

Lovely thread. What an excellent pre wedding surprise!

NanooCov · 16/06/2017 21:08

Yay! Have been stealth following this thread and so pleased with the result. I had a weird light bleed just before I found I was pregnant with my son and was distraught thinking it was a sign it would never happen for us (37, PCOS) and then voila! Must have been implantation bleeding. He's now 2.5 and sleeping in the car while we drive to family for the weekend. I'm now 40 and pregnant with number two. All the best OP! Fizzy water to drink on your wedding day and pretend it's G&T or vodka lemonade (but do treat yourself to a glass of fizz) xx

Low amh- pah! Fingers crossed for you. For what it's worth I'm not convinced re the low amh doom and gloom doctors like to dish out. My amh was 2.8 when I was 34. I've been pregnant 3 times and had 2 live births since then.

for u.

GinasGirl · 16/06/2017 20:59

Brilliant news! Congratulations OP!

Saywhen · 16/06/2017 20:57

This is so wonderful! Congratulations OP!!!

BigApple11 · 16/06/2017 20:50

So happy for you OP!

Naughty1205 · 16/06/2017 20:49

Brilliant, you're very young! I had ds at 43! Thrilled for you, enjoy it all!

weasledee · 16/06/2017 20:44

Just found this thread and what a fantastic story!! So pleased for you and many congratulations!!! As others have said docs don't know everything! Please keep the thread updated, would love to hear how your getting along.... :)

ChattyCat78 We were still having unprotected sex, but not hopeful anything would come of it iyswim?

I think we have the Serum Clinic in Athens to thank. We did their hidden infections test and took a huge course of antibiotics. My cycles improved hugely straight away (proper Ewcm for first time in a year of trying) and within 2 cycles a bfp!

Yeah, two fingers to the consultant and their low amh egg donation doom and gloom

Thank you so so much everybody. You are so so kind. I'm sorry for anybody I made cry

I never in a million years thought I would be positing a thread like this. It's like a real life miracle.

Naughty1205 I'm 38. My amh is less that 1.7 and my FSH was 45 at my last reading. We had our NHS ivf cycle cancelled in March at last minute cos they told us it wouldn't work and I was in premature menopause.

They've been the darkest months of my life. I feel reborn. Even if it doesn't work out this time just getting pregnant is amazing

OP posts:

Chattycat78 · 16/06/2017 20:25

There you go OP! Two fingers to the POF!

What do the doctors know anyway?!!! I was told my ivf was 'Unlikely" to work because of my diminished ovarian reserve - but it bloody did. .

Were you trying or just having unprotected sex anyway as you thought u might as well?

Ammelou · 16/06/2017 20:15

Huge congratulations! I love threads like this. It took me 3 years to get pregnant with my little beauty and I remember the utter joy and bewilderment at seeing my very first positive test. Seeing the word on the digital as well was the best thing ever. Hoping you have a very happy and healthy pregnancy ❤️

CherriesInTheSnow · 16/06/2017 20:13

It may be because I am a 19 week pregnant hormonal mess but reading your thread today and crossing everything harder and harder as it goes on, then seeing your definite positives has me weeping inconsolably.

I am so, so unfathomably happy for you, and so happy everything has gone against the odds and in your favour. Wishing you a lovely, healthy and happy pregnancy

sodabreadjam · 16/06/2017 20:12

How fabulous! Great news! Congratulations!

HeyJupiter · 16/06/2017 20:10

What a wonderful thread! I'm absolutely over the moon for you - made me shed a little tear (damn pregnancy hormones!) Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy (and amazing wedding)

Courgetti2203 · 16/06/2017 20:10

What a great post to read I'm so please for you both.

OhWifey · 16/06/2017 20:06

Congratulations! Your joy just spills off the page. Enjoy this evening

WelshMammy123 · 16/06/2017 20:03

Aw this is a wonderful post!! Congratulations!! X

Naughty1205 · 16/06/2017 20:03

Aw thrilled for you! Amazing what the body can do! We have 2 IVF babies. Wishing you a healthy 9 months ahead! What age are you if you don't mind me asking?

missanony · 16/06/2017 20:02
