I have no words to say how I'm currently feeling as it still hasn't quite sunken in. We have never been pregnant and nor had a positive test in the time we've been trying in the last few years. To have 3 positives staring back at me at 3am seems like a dream. We are 'unexplained' but for this, our 1st protocol (long) and only nhs cycle I was put on clexane 40 and a 75mg aspirin as they found I had antipholipids in my blood that can cause miscarriage and I already have antinuclear antibodies due to a kind of lupus from being over prescribed acne tablets as a teenager which then led to me developing arthritis. I think maybe either my blood or implantation was our issue as 5 out of our 8 eggs fertilised and 3 made it to 5 days but they told they wouldn't freeze the other 2 as the process is complicated yet never actually told us about the quality of the blasts. At that point on transfer day I was deflated but now I will reiterate what so many strong individuals say on here "it only takes one." I now feel very humbled and grateful our 1st try has worked with our only dot and can only appreciate the strength and determination those who go through this again and again have. Thank you all for your kind words, thoughts and prayers and for keeping me positive, especially in the last 24 hours. It has taken me most of the morning to write this post as l still can't quite believe it. I hope all of you amazing people going through this get your BFPs and go on to have healthy happy babies xx

Ooooo!!!! πββοΈ yeay! Xxx
Thank you. Hope your pregnancy is going well xx
Just waiting for scans π€π you must feel such relief tonight xxx
Yes it just feels crazy after being surrounded by so many pregnant people in family and friends who it happened for quickly it is finally our turn. It has been a real eye opener and I think this makes you appreciate it so much more xx
Yes I am so so cautious and careful. My sister in law tried for 3 months and she is doing everything and anything, not being particularly careful while pregnant.
I want to do what's right for me though
Aww enjoy it - bet you cannot wait to announce to your family. Xxx
Well my parents and sister already know as i' m very close to them. I was very ill as a teenager and have had to go back and forth to hospital a lot for other reasons so I've been very open about it with then and they've been very supportive and helpful. Actually my mum and sister feel very educated about it now as they didn't realise how common infertility is and have now learnt the annoying phrases to avoid lol. My dad welled up when I told him xx
Wonderful news. I had a feeling you would have good news π Congratulations and lots of luck to you going forward xx

Brilliant news xx
Thank you. I hope your next cycle goes well. Have they offered you clexane for the antiphospholipids? Xx
Heparin and aspirin. I took them for the last transfer but we had a bfn xx
Is heparin similar to clexane? Clexane comes in different doses so I don't know if it's worth checking your levels and see if they can tweak it? They said my fsh was slightly high too at 10.4 but i' m not surebifbthe clexane is for that. I really hope you get your BFP xx
Yes itβs similar. If I get a bfp Iβll be under a consultant haematologist at Birmingham Womenβs Hospital so hopefully theyβll make sure Iβm on the correct dosage ASAP. My fsh and lh are fine. Iβm not sure what they do for higher levels of fsh either π€·ββοΈ Thank you xx
Huge congratulations I am so very pleased for you. You so deserve this and happy stories gives those who are struggling hope.
Wishing you and baby a very healthy and happy pregnancy. Have everything crossed for you. Xx
