What would you do?

Hi,

My husband and I have been TTC for nearly 2 years and have done all the tests and have unexplained infertility. We have just got approved for IUI or IVF and our appointment for the scan, follicle count, another sperm test etc is next week. However I did a few pg tests last week and they were all positive!!! But now my period is starting (a few days late). I have clearly had a chemical pregnancy but I am unsure on what to do. Do I tell the doc/specialists that ironically after all this time I managed to conceive? But then would I have to wait another 2 years to be eligible for IUI/IVF or would i not be eligible at all? Would there even be any point having IUI or IVF if I can actually conceive naturally (even though it has taken SO long)? Never had a positive test before...

Thanks to anyone that replies

So sorry to hear you are bleeding after a positive test. How horrible and sad for you.

In answer to your question-I wouldn’t tell them if I were you. Think of like this -many people aren’t even sure they are pregnant for a fair few weeks so arent even aware of chemicals.

It would be so unfair if you got pushed back-with all the slow waiting times and NHS rules you wouldn’t want to be set back again. Good luck with it all.

Yes that's a point sour I didn't think of that - thank you!

I wouldn't tell either. If you have treatment and have a chemical pregnancy again they can deal with that intimation then. It's not likely they're change the protocol at this stage anyway

Thank you queen and loopy!

Thank you banana. One of the questions at the eligibility chat was 'Have you ever been pregnant?' And implied that they wouldn't be able to fund me if I had. On the CCG funding page it talks about if someone has recurrent miscarriages then the consultant has to write a letter/appeal to the board to apply. No mention of infertility and one off miscarriage.
unicorn could I ask how things have panned out of you? How long were you pushed back for?
bookgirl I did a test yesterday morning and it was still said 'pregnant 2-3' but I have been bleeding loads more today with bits and red (sorry for tmi!). I did hope it was late implantation bleeding at first as it was light but I can tell it isn't as it is heavier and the mild pg symptoms I did have have gone...just have cramping on one side which is where I guess it tried to implant.

Not sure what to think really. Odd feeling knowing that it is actually possible to conceive and I am also naievly hoping that it could happen again and much quicker second time around. But at the same time I don't want to waste another 2 years.

Very sorry you’re going through this. I wouldn’t tell!

[QueenOfMyWorld]

Don't mention ir

[bookgirl1982]

Have you had a negative test since the bleeding?

[TheLastUNIC0RN]

This happened me. I did tell. Miscarried.. got pushed back because I could get pregnant naturally. I don't think I'd mention it...

If I was you, I actually wouldn’t tell. Just in case it effected your eligibility. I don’t see why they would need to know.
Maybe phone them to ask without giving toot information
