Anyone know much about first response lines? A miracle has occurred 🙏🏼

A miracle has very possibly occurred!!! 4 years TTC, 2 years of infertility treatment, 1 IVF miscarriage, 1 negative IVF transfer and then all of a sudden today I get a positive test!! Naturally!! I have PCOS and one blocked tube so this is a miracle.

Last month I had a failed IVF cycle, just paid to start a brand new one, waiting for AF and then it would begin. All my drugs are at home ready to go. I was cleaning up today and found a spare test, decided because i’ve been using supplements to improve egg quality and there’s no sign of AF that i’d just use it on the off chance. The line came up straight away. I nearly passed out with shock.

Does this look like a good, strong line? Not sure how far gone I could be. Any idea what that line could indicate? I had a negative test on 14th June, stopped my IVF medication and had a bleed on 18th June so have obviously conceived at some point since then.

I did mine with first response and mine was the actually the same I'm now 7 months pregnant. That is 1000000% positive! Congrats xx

Celebelly · 21/07/2018 17:41

That's a good line! It looks like mine did around 15 dpoish.

Oh wow, what a wonderful surprise Smile.

Ever the practical, will they refund you the IVF you have just paid for?

Congrats Flowers

SanFranBear · 21/07/2018 17:46

I am so happy for you as that is looking like a good, strong positive! Good luck

VillageFete · 21/07/2018 17:49

twoheaped That’s all i’ve thought about Grin They bloody better had! I may very well have a pram etc to buy!!

I must have conceived in San Francisco then Blush We had booked the holiday 9 months ago in the Thomas Cook sale and it just so happened to fall at a great time (just after our failed IVF) So we relaxed, ate and drank for England and had sex twice over there. It must have helped to be so relaxed and stress free?!

Huge congratulations, OP!

38 weeks pregnant tomorrow since getting diagnosed with pcos. It feels amazing!

That's a beautiful line. All the best 😁😁

That’s a wonderful strong line! Huge congratulations Flowers

VillageFete · 21/07/2018 17:58

Thank you all so much, i’m so bloody happy. 4 years of hell and now this happens?! I wish I knew how far gone I was. I also had sex a few days before our holiday and put my legs in the air, just on the off chance that it’d happen, but to be honest I had given up hope at that point.

Oh my, how wonderful! Huge congratulations OP Smile

Hjkillas · 21/07/2018 18:16

A lot of the time something happens when you give up or take a break or holiday. It's like our bodies say we deserve it for giving ourselves a little bit of time off. It's wonderful I'm really happy for you. All the best xx

BertieBotts · 21/07/2018 18:19

That is a very strong line! Pffft you would have to be the one for who "just go on holiday" works! Wink :)

Congratulations, all the best with it.

Jeippinghmip · 21/07/2018 18:23

Massive congratulations Flowers

Waitingonasmiley42 · 21/07/2018 18:24

Congratulations!!! How amazing after all that time. Hope you have an easy pregnancy now! Flowers

orphanblack1 · 21/07/2018 19:26

amazing news - congrats!!!! Looks like a v strong line to me! I'd get a clear blue digital with weeks indicator if you can as that will tell you how far (ish). xx

AnguaUberwaldIronfoundersson · 21/07/2018 19:34

13+4 over here with PCOS! Got told to go away, lose weight and have lots of tests as it wouldn’t happen... pretty much gave up and I was already pregnant!

Congratulations!!!

Stephisaur · 21/07/2018 19:35

That’s a fantastic line! Congratulations!!

Agree with above - a clear blue with the weeks indicator will tell you when you conceived :) then just add 2 weeks to it xx

Pippinfi · 21/07/2018 19:38

Yep definitely pregnant congratulations Flowers

pleasegotowork · 21/07/2018 19:39

I love love love reading posts like these. Congrats, OP, what wonderful news. Wishing you a very uneventful few months ahead.
From another IVF vet (5 failed cycles but got to adopt my beautiful, noisy, fun-loving daughter so very grateful it didn't work for us - although it was very shit at the time)

leighdinglady · 21/07/2018 19:41

Huge congratulations!!!! It's much stronger than my one this week

IndianaMoleWoman · 21/07/2018 19:50

Lovely news, OP.

If your last period was on the 18th June, you will be considered 4 weeks and 5 days pregnant today, and will carry on counting until you have a more accurate dating scan. You probably conceived mid-cycle, around 19 days ago. You will be 5 weeks on Monday. Your due date should be around 25th March 2019.

Congratulations! Flowers

VillageFete · 21/07/2018 20:05

Oh thanks so much all!!

I rang my local early pregnancy unit, just because my fertility centre was closed. They invited me to come in for an internal scan on Tuesday. Should I see a sac if I am approx 5 weeks?

pleasegotowork Oh that’s so lovely, that you finally became a mum after the hell of IVF. I bet she was truly worth every shitty second of it.
