5 failed rounds of IVF and I'm bloody preggers!!!!

Oh my god. I just have to tell SOMEONE.

We have had 5 failed rounds of IVF, the last one failed last year. Spent tens of thousands of pounds to no avail.

My period was late (which is standard really, it's all over the place at the moment) and I thought I'd just do a test so I could put the thought of being pregnant out of my mind and carry on waiting for AF to turn up.

And fuck me it was positive (excuse the language!!). I'm literally beside myself!! I have never had a BFP and was told to stop IVF, there was nothing more they could do.

It's very early, so praying all goes ok, but this is more than I've ever had before.

YAY!!!!!

Thanks again all, I'm so glad this is making some of you smile and feel happy, and it's lovely to hear about other babies conceived following treatment failures.

Oh my gosh, I have only just realised the dark line on the pink one is the test line, I thought the paler line was the test line and DH and I were a bit worried about it. You're right though, they are dark lines!

I'm just so amazed and in shock.

Fabulous news, congratulations! Flowers

I need fertility treatment to have my first and was told it would certainly be needed again if I wanted another. 13 months after DS was born I turned up pregnant with no medical help at all.

Congratulations!!
Exactly the same happened to us-tried for 3-4 years, 2 failed IVF, then a positive test 6 months later, easy pregnancy followed by 2 more babies all naturally conceived
Really pleased for you-I will always remember the unbelievable feeling! Enjoy every second! ❤️

Aww wow, gave me goosebumps! Congratulations to you, lovely news xx

WingBingo · 13/07/2020 16:50

Congratulations! Same happened to me.

Four failed rounds of IVF, now have two DC, both unexpected!

Often wondered if I can get back the 10s of thousands of pounds spent on IVF after I was told I would never conceive naturally.
