Well after a bleed on Monday night and horrendous cramping since sunday I thought my first ivf cycle was all over and have been on knicker watch since waiting for full AF.
I so wanted to test early on Monday, but as OTD was today I held off, despite being desperate to know if that was the end of the road.
I am now in complete and utter shock as this morning I got a BFP. It came up very quickly and was very strong. I am on day 11 of my 2ww. 16 days since egg retrieval. I really didnt expect it.
I know it's early days and I have a loonnnnnnnng way to go but after 10 years of knowing ivf was my only route and doubting it would ever happen......im extremly scared but smiling and hoping this is now my time. It doesnt feel real that I am actually writing this!!!!!
Love and prayers to you all who are riding this horrendous rollercoaster. I know I can't get off it just yet but I hope in time I can and that so can all of you.
Eeeeeekkkk BFP!!!!!

That looks like very good news to me!!! Yay, huge congrats!!! 👏🏻 Its bound to feel a bit unreal at this stage as you’ve been through so much. I’m so chuffed for you xx
I was like you, I had bleeding and awful cramping I was sure it hadn’t worked. I cried and cried and read about a million different forums hoping for comforting news but most said red blood and cramping means it’s failed. I was devastated and tried to prepare myself for my inevitable period. Test day came and I was sure it was over, but to my shock I had a positive test but I didn’t believe it. I was then told to come in for bloods, that result was positive but I was still doubtful. It was only at the viability scan that I actually believed I was actually pregnant. I am almost 20 weeks now and still in shock. Congratulations on your pregnancy 💕xx
Thank you. Maybe not right word but I feel like a bit of a fraud. As if it's not actually correct. Just done another test this morning lol and again positive so I know it is...... I just can't believe it is happening to me. Nervous 3 week wait for viability scan now
It’s so scary, you try to tell yourself it will all be fine but there is always a part of you over thinking things. Even though I’m nearly 20 weeks (19+5) I’m still afraid, I guess it’s cause we’ve wanted this for so long. It’s hard to believe that something you’ve waited 7 years for is actually happening. Hopefully, once you have had the viability scan it will feel more real for you and you won’t feel like a “fraud” anymore. Hopefully you will start to feel like a mummy to be 💕xx
