BFP before IVF. HELP

This is a huge ramble so please excuse me if I sound all over the place...

DH and I have been TTC for over a year. I got pregnant in June but it was ectopic (thankfully neither tube had to be removed). Finally went to see fertility consultant who diagnosed my tubes as buggered and suggested IVF. Everything else (ovarian reserve, follicles, sperm count etc) look good, so we were considered good candidates.

Last week I paid £5.5k for IVF and this afternoon I realised my period should have come this morning. Took a test and would consider this a seriously big BFP. I am 13 DPO. I am obviously delighted (and stunned!) but have a concern about it being another ectopic.

With my last ectopic I had very feint lines every day for a week. They were sometimes darker and sometimes feinter, but they never followed a darkening pattern. I will call the EPU to get a scan next week but in the meantime I was hoping for some advice from anyone else who has had an ectopic in the past? Did you ever get a strong line like this? Would a clearblue 'week by week' give me a better indication of a sticky pregnancy?

Lost for words... Any words of wisdom or advice gratefully received!

@Twinmammma no way?! That’s a miracle! When did you get your bloods done? I’m 4w4d today so don’t want to do anything too early (not anti anything!).

@dinksandbinks congratulations! That’s just absolutely magical. You must be bursting with joy. Many, many congratulations and all the best for a healthy and happy pregnancy, hopefully you can relax a little bit now. I’ll let you know how I get on on Monday. Xx

What brilliant news congratulations!!

Quick update following a scan this morning.

Not ectopic! Unbelievable news and I’m so happy. 5 weeks on the button so not very much to see but a healthy sac and womb lining (no sac yet but that’s not expected till mid/end of the 5th week).

Amazing news. Thanks everyone for your support and comments.

Still can’t believe how great this turned out for you @EmbarrassingMama!

Also great need on the refund. I had my scan at about 6 weeks on Friday and cried with relief that things were in the right place!
