Can't believe I'm pregnant..

[KC84]

Hello
So after being told it is unlikely I'll ever get pregnant because I have hardly no eggs left and those I do have, are bad quality... I found out I'm preggers!

2.5 years ago we did ivf and only got 1.5 eggs... it was unsuccessful and ever since we accepted we wouldn't fall pregnant... until now! We didn't use protection as we have less than 1% chance and after this long didn't think it would ever happen! So unplanned but happy!

I'm very nervous as it's very early... apparently 4-5 weeks as per calculator and I can't go to the look without thinking my period will have come!

Any advice for someone who was not expecting this at all??

Xxx

No advice but congratulations, this is lovely

Congratulations! What a lovely surprise!

Thanks guys...

So nervous because I have low ovarian reserve and amh...

So scared it won't last 😑

I think all you can do is try and enjoy the pregnancy as much as possible and have hope. Easy for an internet stranger to say, and I'm well aware that it's hard not to worry in reality. But I really wish you all the best in your pregnancy!

If it’s meant to be it will be .. my friend was going through menopause and told about 5 years prior she Couldn’t conceive due to other complications ... she had her first daughter at 36 years ... and her second daughter at 41 years .. miracles can really happen x x congratulations x x

Folic acid supplements-make sure you're taking them.
Google what you can and can't eat. Lots of free pregnancy apps have a helpful list.
Don't take anything with vitamin A in.

Oh, and congratulations!

*As in, don't take non pregnancy multivitamins with vitamin A in. Not advocating avoiding carrots.

I'll keep everything crossed for you lass.

Fantastic! What wonderful news. I am just coming up to 6 weeks after trying unsuccessfully for years. Am terrified but trying to take each day as it comes. Enjoy!! xxx

I was told It be highly unlikely id get pregnant so very shocked. As pregnancy was last thing on mind I was having MRI and was told I was pregnant!! Thst was month ago. I'm 20 weeks now!! Take folic acid asap! See gp as mine prescribed extra folic acid.

Thanks everyone!!!
I have a good diet so that's ok vitamin wise right when it comes to the vitamins I mustn't have?
I started pregnancy vitamins today which has folic acid and omega...
I'm only having one coffee a day
Stopped Diet Coke unless I don't have a coffee

Due to have hair dyed in a week but not sure I want to chance it!!

Congratulations! I too have very low AMH (2) and high FSH plus knackered tubes, I had a baby with donor eggs last year after being told I would never have a bio child and DS took 9 years and 5 IVF cycles, I then caught naturally when he was 8 months and I'm due next month, I hope the rest of the pregnancy goes smoothly

Wow Lauren! That's fantastic!

I stopped diet coke but midwife told me I'd have to drink 14 cans to go over what they class as safe during pregnancy (I don't drink coffee though) and also had hair dyed must have been about 6 weeks pregnant then.

It's so scary the first few weeks I know, I ended up having blood tests and early private scans it cost a fortune but I couldn't believe it. Our bodies are amazing things!

Awe congrats OP! That's amazing 🥰

Aww congratulations I am so happy for you!

This has really made me smile. Huge congratulations

Thanks everyone, it's the biggest shock... still not sure I believe it!

That's amazing! Massive congratulations to you both.

Put a tear in my eye! How amazing!!
I'm so pleased for you and your DP!

Here's to a happy healthy pregnancy!

Congratulations!!

Thank You, we are happy but being cautious with our happiness... bring on 12w!!

Wonderful news - to all of you! Loved reading this thread! Xxx

KC84- congratulations! So happy for you. Sometimes the body just finds a way with one good egg!
Lauren- that's an amazing story.
My story is much less unusual, as I'm older (43) but have a toddler and knew I could get pg as I had a MMC last year.....but my AMH is 1 and a half, and my follicle count was terrible, plus one of my ovaries looked shrunken on a scan.....3 days later I got a BFP. I'm nearly 10 weeks and hopeful. At my age (not far off 44) you can't take anything for granted but I'm thrilled I got pregnant. Good luck to both of you!

PetraRabbit - that's amazing!!! Congratulations!! Gosh this is all so cool!
