3 Years TTC I failed IVF and got my BFP last night!

Pretty much says it all in the title.
My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for around 3 years.
We had one round of free IVF and unfortunately it was unsuccessful. They mentioned my thin lining when implanting so I wondered if this was part of the problem, I also only have 2/3 day periods. So this month I drank lots of raspberry tea and took maca root supplements - didn't really have any hope but thought it can't hurt!
And 12 DPO I did a test last night as I had a weird taste in my mouth and it was positive! Did another this morning and it is slightly darker!
We're elated but also cautious as it's early

Ahh that's fabulous news! Congratulations. Lovely to read and made me smile for you.

SlothMamaToBe · 26/02/2021 12:38

Congratulations! That’s brilliant news!
I didn’t know 2-3 day periods was an issue? Can that be a cause of infertility?

Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy 💜

Apricotpants · 26/02/2021 12:47

@SlothMamaToBe thank you! I have no idea really. There just didn't seem to be anything else wrong, other than the 'thin lining' during IVF and I wondered if the lining of my uterus wasn't building up as much as it should as I only bled for 2 days on average and very light. But I only diagnosed myself so probably isn't anything in it, it just seemed like something to focus on when I felt glum xx

This is fantastic! I love seeing stories like this, it would have made me feel so hopefully when TTC.

Congrats you deserve it 💐 I have my fingers crossed for you

Apricotpants · 26/02/2021 12:56

@Chica1990 absolutely! I would look for these type of posts and think maybe it will happen

Thank you that's really kind xx

@Apricotpants congratulations! Maybe I should buy some maca root then - may I ask which one you got?

@SlothMamaToBe don't worry - I only have a 2 day light period but my lining is perfectly average in ultrasounds so the two don't have to be correlated

Wannabegreenfingers · 26/02/2021 13:05

Congratulations. If your lining is thin ask for progesterone pesseries. They won't issue until they have scanned at 6 weeks, but they resulted in two healthy pregnancies for with the same issues. You will need a friendly doctor willing to do it, not all are.

LittleGwyneth · 26/02/2021 13:41

Congratulations! Amazing news

Apricotpants · 26/02/2021 13:45

@SlothMamaToBe oh ace! Thanks for letting me know. I'm hoping mine was just thin the time they checked it xx

Apricotpants · 26/02/2021 13:47

@Wannabegreenfingers thank you, that's really helpful advice. I actually have a few boxes left over from my IVF, they made me feel shocking but I'd happily take the feeling again for a good outcome

@Juno231 hello! Yes I got them off of Amazon and they had rave reviews, I thought they were just fake accounts! Nu U Nutrition, Maca Root Capsules 4000mg, I have no idea if the helped but it's the only thing different, and the tea this month. Good luck to you x

@Apricotpants well it doesn't hurt to try so I've ordered some! Thank you ❤️
