Told DH about BFP and he hasn’t come near me all day!

Second round of IVF through NHS, only had 3 follicles collected after max Merifort dose (right overy did not respond!). Only 1 egg fertilised and had a fresh day 3 transfer on 2nd March. Completed TWW and had no symptoms other than usually pessaries cramping, didn’t test early (which was hard!) and waited until 12dp3dt to test!!

Got a positive results first thing and told DH starlight away, he opened his eyes and told me he was going back to sleep! I’ve had no symptoms at all so told him I would retest in a few hours.

Retested and told him it’s still positive, he decided to ignore me all day and not acknowledge the news 🫣 I haven’t stopped crying all day!

We have been trying for 10 years and now it’s finally happened he is acting like it’s the worst news in the world 🥺 I’ve left him alone to process and speak to me when he’s ready.

Today (Mothers Day) is my official test date and Positive is still there now showing 2-3 weeks pregnant 🤰🏻

What do I do?

Thanks for checking in @sellingrocks☺️ He is slowly defrosting! He has agreed to counselling next week alone and I have been trying to be understanding and limit talking about the baby until the scan after Easter 🐣

Took him to Mamma and Papas on the weekend as we were passing to get to Dunelm Mill and he had a panic attack, but he sent me a bundle of baby necessities such as prams/car seats yesterday so think he’s starting to come to terms with it xxx

Ah that’s good news I really hope he comes to terms with his feelings and you can start to enjoy this pregnancy and baby! X
