So a bit of background.... been TTC for 3 years and were diagnosed with 'unexplained infertility'. Had a successful fresh round of IVF this time last year, but tragically we lost our daughter due to an insufficient placenta at 23 weeks, just before Easter this year.
We had a frozen transfer in August but this sadly was a BFN.
Here's where I am confused.... I got my period a few days after stopping all the meds following the BFN which lasted approx. 4 days. We went back to the clinic who said we could have another frozen transfer at the start of my next cycle. I have all the drugs etc. so we have just been waiting for day 1. My cycles are usually 31-32 days but I did a bit of research and there is lots of info out there about how the first full cycle after a failed frozen transfer is very often much longer that your usual cycle.
Today is day 38 and I was planning on phoning the clinic just to explain why I hadn't yet phoned for my stim scan. On a whim I did a test first thing just to rule out the practically impossible, but then this happened.........
Can I really be pregnant?! I am just in complete shock, and I expect someone will tell me that you often get false positives the month after a failed frozen transfer?? I'm just so frightened that this somehow isn't real???
To add to all of this, today is WaveOfLight day, which marks the end of Baby Loss Awareness week. Hubby and I will be lighting a candle at 7pm tonight in memory of our daughter. My silly sentimental side wants to believe this is a gift from her.
And it's hubby's 40th tomorrow!
