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

[jemimafuddleduck]

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!!!!!

Oh what a lovely thread really happy for you op

@jemimafuddleduck

Thank you again so much everyone! I'm so grateful for your good wishes. We are now arguing about how to tell our parents 🤣 Never did I think we'd be able to argue about that so it's fine by me!

How about telling them with an airplane banner!

Your infectious happiness is lovely to witness and shines through your posts, op.
Huge congratulations

Congratulations, OP, so happy for you!
Please say no to anxiety, the law of attraction and all that, imagine yourself fully pregnant with a healthy squidgy baby, don't let any other scenarios enter your head!

I read that Jamie Oliver and his wife were high school sweethearts and had no children for 10? years, then had their first via IFV(don't know how many attempts though), and then were surprised to be pregnant naturally soon, the rest is history. It's as though a magic gate gets unlocked, once the woman's body knows how to get pregnant even after years of infertility, it knows how to get pregnant :) and tries to "make up" for all the missed years. 🌞

Thank you so much everyone! I'm just going to be positive - the universe can't possibly be cruel enough to take this away from us now. We will have our baby!

Did another Clear Blue this morning and it says 3+ weeks and from my calculations I'm 5 weeks today. So the hormones are definitely nice and strong at the moment 😊

What a brilliant thread. Feel completely delighted for you OP.

What a completely lovely thread. So many congratualtions OP.

@jemimafuddleduck

That's great news that you got a 3+ today! Means your hcg is nice and high! I got a 3+ at 5 weeks on the dot too and I'm pregnant with twins 🤣

@ivfdreaming oh my gosh! Was yours following IVF? (from your username!)

So lovely to read this thread, congratulations!

@jemimafuddleduck

Yes we actually cycled together last year - I've had a few name changes since - 5 miscarriages 2 ruptured ectopics lost both tubes 5 rounds of IVF and twins on my 4th transfer 🤣

Wow Congratulations! I so hope you have a boring, happy and healthy 9 months!!

Aah wow!! What a lovely thread, huge congratulations to you, that's amazing news :)

I didn't have IVF but tried for 18mths, was tested for everything and eventually just told it was secondary Infertility and there was nothing they could do. I was absolutely devastated but at 42 decided just to move on, enjoy life as it is and plan a big holiday. No sooner than we'd given up and got my BFP!!!
I'm currently 10wks pregnant and got my scan and NIPT test next week so keeping everything crossed xx

Congratulations OP. That’s brilliant news. I saw the title in active threads, read the thread and thought how lovely, then wondered if I recognised the poster from the infertility boards and looked at the username. I remember you well from the infertility boards and I’m so very pleased for you.

I completely agree with @AskingforaBaskin and I also really hope you have a boring, happy and healthy 9 months! Especially the boring part with absolutely no more drama.

I’m so happy for you!! Have a happy healthy next eight months.

Bloody love this. Enjoy every second of it, allow yourself to get caught up in the excitement & see yourself with your baby. Wishing you a healthy, happy & completely normal pregnancy 💐

What wonderful news.

This has made me so happy which is weird given that I don't know you! I love a bit of baby news though, especially now I'm past that stage!
Wonderful news op. Xxx

@jemimafuddleduck

For me the the most incredulous bit is that you had to have IVFs with donor eggs because the doctors told you had no chance with your own?? WTF? Did I read it right?
Did you have no tries at all with your own (just wonder if it'd have made all the difference?) If it's true, it just goes to show what the doctors "know", and how they shouldn't tell anyone categorically about whether they stand a chance or not (my friend was told after two miscarriages and heavy endometriosis that she had no chance of carrying a baby to term, and having cried over her "infertility" for two years and then went on to have three children naturally!)

You should send your positive pregnancy pictures to whatever expert told you your eggs were no good!

Thanks again everyone and congrats to those of you who have been in similar situations!

@Cassandrainthenight yes, you're absolutely right. All of my IVF cycles were with donor eggs as we were told mine were no good.

Who knows what could have happened if we'd tried with our own - but for now I'm just going to be so grateful. I really think everything happens for a reason and maybe we had to go through that heartache so we could truly appreciate it when it finally happened for us.

Thinking of you @jemimafuddleduck hope you're all well.

So so so so happy for you! Please keep us posted how you get on. Have a happy pregnancy xx

@jemimafuddleduck

Absolutely amazing news! I love it when you hear stories like yours. Massive congratulations! Xx

Have you booked a scan just being nosey so I can check in on you on the day. It's such a lovely story and so lovely that you have chosen to just enjoy every bit of it, which is a hard thing to do.

Just came across your thread. How absolutely amazing. Wow. Hoping everything has continued to go well over the last week or so.

Another one late to the party.... hope things are ok!
