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!!!!!

How absolutely wonderful. You must be elated!! They are very dark lines. Sorry if i missed it, any idea how far along you might be?

Sunshinegirl82 · 13/07/2020 17:16

11th June would make you 6-7 weeks by my reckoning?

RestorationInsanity · 13/07/2020 17:16

Huge congratulations @jemimafuddleduck! I'm currently 19+3 with a miracle baby, conceived on HRT after 4 years of infertility, failed IVF and egg donor IVF and an early menopause diagnosis!

Like you, I only took a test to rule it out!

So so pleased for you.

I took a test yrs ago just to make sure my period was actually on it's way.

Baby is now 18.

Redredwine99 · 13/07/2020 17:20

Wonderful news Flowers

jemimafuddleduck · 13/07/2020 17:20

@Sunshinegirl82 how did you calculate that? I'm not sure how to work it out really.

@RestorationInsanity that's amazing for you, ours were all donor eggs too due to high FSH and very low AMH. We were told we had a 0.02% chance of conceiving naturally.

@jemimafuddleduck I remember you from the infertility boards last year, think we were going through an IVF at the same time. This is amazing news - huge congratulations!!

Hi @justkeeprunning5 yes I remember you too! I stepped back from the boards as it became too hard. I hope you had success too 😊
