BFP after first failed IVF? What the actual F

Helloo - husband (38) and I (31) TTC for 2+ years with not a single positive. Laparoscopy diagnosed twisted tubes, stage II Endo and low AMH (8). Both always been healthy, fit, no illnesses etc. So, obviously been feeling very angry with the situation.
Last cycle was our first round of IVF and a fresh transfer (22 eggs, 14 fertilised, 1 grade A embryo put in, with 5 in the freezer)- it failed with no answers. Now, the first cycle after the IVF, I find myself with faint lines at 15DPO, which seems rather late. Ovulated CD19/20 (definitely). I usually have 10/11 day luteal phases and no AF has shown, just spotting. Could these be evap lines?
I’m obviously in total denial because we were told it just probably won’t happen naturally for us. Scared of ectopic as well. Absolutely mind blown. Any words of advice? I don’t know what to think.

Wishing you so much luck. The lines look good - a first response or a digital will be much more convincing (the cheap ones were always faint for me).

And to share my story…..something similar happened to me….four years abd not a sniff of a positive….three rounds of IVF, three miscarriages and then a surprise BFP. I was at the point where I was going to call it a day, let alone hoping for a miracle. It wasn’t all miracles, the Tommy’s clinic were with me every step of the way too, but DD made it. Then DS was a one time literal miracle (we were not trying) at the ripe old age of 41!

I'm unreasonably invested in this.

Congratulations! I have fingers and toes crossed for you!

freede · 01/04/2024 19:55

Those lines are even faint at all by the way, those cheap strip tests take forever to show up dark! So as far as those tests go they are really decent lines.
I'm so invested and also can't wait for tomorrow haha
Very happy for you, congratulations!

freede · 01/04/2024 19:55

*aren't faint!

DrunkenElephant · 01/04/2024 19:59

The lines do look good OP.

I am keeping everything crossed for you x

LipikarAP · 01/04/2024 20:03

My lines weren't that dark and I have three children.

GoldenRetriever1 · 01/04/2024 20:21

@mumpenalty Thank you so much for sharing your story - such an inspiration and I’m so happy your miracle babies happened!
Fingers crossed for tomorrow and days ahead…

@VerityUnreasonble Haha.. thank you for the best wishes! I have everything crossed as well.. although I’m still very much in denial!

@freede OK this is also very reassuring. The lines took ages to appear.. so I wasn’t convinced at all!! Let’s see what tomorrow will bring… 😳😳

@LipikarAP Oh wow okay - that’s reassuring. They just took so long to appear.. I lost faith in them. Fingers crossed for the next few days!

Keep us updated OP!!

Itonlytakesaminute · 01/04/2024 22:14

I'd say positive! I never ever got any faint line on these until I got my BFP exactly 1 year ago today, also after fertility treatment!

Itonlytakesaminute · 01/04/2024 22:15

Oh and the line didn't appear after a min or so, so I chucked the test away but something made me go back to it!

Yes they also take about 10 mins to show up. All very normal for those cheap strip tests 😀

GoldenRetriever1 · 02/04/2024 06:13

I think I’ll be ringing the IVF clinic this morning…
