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!!!!!

Thats amazing! Massive congratulations ❤

Thanks all! I did wonder about posting as don't want to rub in people's faces but on the other hand seeing posts like this has made me feel better in the past. Plus I COULDN'T NOT!

I told DH by phoning him and saying "It's fucking positive!" 🤣 I was so in shock. Then I walked out of work and came home and we both had a little cry.

He is being very cautious and trying to reign me in but the way I look at it is this is further than we've ever got before and if I lose it I'll be devastated anyway so may as well enjoy this!

I went to boots on the way home and panic bought a load of tests so think I'll do the digital in the morning. But I think I'm probably 4-5 weeks, I'm about a week late on my period.

Congratulations!

Does sometimes make you wonder if the stress of trying stops you falling pregnant sometimes-probably nonsense but you just never know.

20viona · 13/07/2020 16:30

Amazing massive congratulations

IncrediblySadToo · 13/07/2020 16:28

(((((HUG))))))🌷😘

I am ridiculously excited for you!!!!

Yes, it's early days, but you're pregnant, you CAN get pregnant!

Can't wait to hear what your DH says!

(But don't be surprised if it's negative or realistic about it being early days. Lots of men act like it's bad news, even after lots of ivf etc. It's a bit of an 'Oh Fuck' moment that sometimes don't deal with well.

I hope yours isn't like that, but don't take it personally if he is, he will sort himself out & be excited too!

Honestly, SO excited for you

As it happens, I know a few couples who have had kids after years of treatment, but I'm much more candid about saying that to anyone 'trying' these days.

Congratulations! I know a few people who took years to conceive the first via IVF and then had a second “surprise” natural conception shortly after, but haven’t heard of a lovely miracle like this in a while.
