Ladies, I am in complete shock! Is THIS real? 🤞 It doesn't feel real. I am excited but so worried... Two blue lines?! 💙💙
This month I have been healing up from the barrage of tests and surgeries I had last month...laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, biopsies, scans, blood tests etc... and we were not supposed to have sex. But because my second cycle of IVF was pushed back for a month and I couldn't bare the idea of wasting a month doing nothing ... hubby bought a needless syringe and we used that once this month. It was a hail Mary pass to keep up my mental health and make me feel like we tried and didn't waste a precious month.
My daily bloodtests at my clinic to track my hormones was discontinued as they suspected my hormones were out of wack as my body healed from every last month so this wasn't a good month to monitor. I was disappointed but nothing I could do except wait for my period so we could start again.
When my period was supposed to start (2 weeks ago) I had terrible cramps, a bad head cold, bloating and so, so much wind - I couldn't move without tooting! 😳 I kept expecting the blood...but nothing at all. Horrible cramps for the full week and still no period. I put it down to my body healing from the surgeries and was frustrated my period was taking so long! Frustrated and angry because it was going to push back the start date of my second IVF cycle even more! My breasts were swollen and hurt so I anticipated a bad period. When one of my nipples darkened (only one) I was p*ssed off that I was getting yet another cruddy symptom of my fertility journey. It was only when I was out last night with hubby and I had to run to the bathroom at dinner to throw up that hubby and I wondered if we should test just to rule it out...
So early this morning I took the test. I didn't look at it and made hubby do it as I hate seeing a negative... and then two blue lines! Hubby checked and rechecked the instructions before telling me and showing me! 😮😆
We are crazy excited but I am so nervous that there will be something wrong!! I am terrified that there is something wrong...and I don't even know what to do?! Do I contact my clinic and tell them? Do I book an appointment with my GP to get a blood test? My head is spinning and all over the place! I've been painting our house and lifting heavy stuff!!! I've been eating comfort food...no pineapple or Brazil nuts! Coffee, fast food, chocolate! 🙄 Where do I even start from here?!

This made me cry happy tears! How amazing and what a whirlwind of emotions for you! Congratulations to you both, wishing you all the best with your pregnancy x
My friend got pregnant naturally after a laparoscopy, she'd been trying for 5 years. Her little girl is now 18 months and she's got a second on the way. Fingers crossed for you that the happiness continues all the way to viability scan x
Thanks so much Zebedee!! I love to hear that your friend was successful! That gives me so much hope! 🥰 I called the clinic and I will be getting a call back with an appointment for a bloodtest and depending on what that says...a scan. The nurses say that given my last period date I am a little over 6 weeks along! I still can't believe it! The horrible pessimistic person inside of me keeps says that this,was too easy so there will be something wrong because I'm just not that lucky! I so hope that voice is wrong! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
I love your story ❤ congrats! I too got pregnant naturally using an at home IUI syringe, as we were sick of ttc and I didn't want to waste an egg while waiting for a DE transfer. I was equally shocked it worked and couldn't believe my luck. Also wasn't eating anything special, had tons of coffee and even some alcohol. 17 weeks now and still have to pinch myself at times. Good luck at your scan and enjoy the surprise.
Oooo! Congratulations Marisa!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I am still in shock! I can't believe a syringe worked! Like you, we were waiting to take the next step! I also didn't want to waste an egg even though I was literally black and blue from surgery and my incisions were inflamed! 😳 I kept thinking what if that was "the egg"? And it has turned out to be! 🥰 Now hubby has filled the fridge with all the healthy foods he could think of! 😅 And he is desperately trying to finish off all our home projects...and I'm not allowed to help at all! I could get used to this 🤫😆
I used the "Mosie Kit" because it's super comfy to use and the syringe is designed specifically for at home IUI. Apparently those are only sold in the US and a bit expensive to ship elsewhere. I believe some ladies in the UK were able to buy something similar on Amazon. Maybe not as comfy but still gets the job done. If you Google "Mosie Kit", they explain how it all works.
Wow, I love stories like these! Congratulations!!! I would definitely call your GP and fertility doctor to let them know, maybe they can closely monitor you! Best of luck 🍀💫🌈
Oh thank you XOXO13! I am still in disbelief!! 🥰 I called my clinic and they will be calling me back on Monday or Tuesday to arrange blood test and a scan. Depending on what happens there they will see if they closely monitor me or I go the normal pregnancy rout. I am so nervous that something will be wrong!
Keep positive, it sounds like this is your miracle and I hope it continues to be so 🍀 I keep praying I’ll just naturally fall pregnant between IVF cycles so stories like yours keep me hopeful 🌈♥️ Xx
When I called the clinic the nurse was happy for me but she told me something very interesting. She said "This happens so much more than you think! All those drugs you take during your cycle have to be doing something because so many clients end up telling us they conceived naturally while waiting to do a transfer".
I was really surprised and she explained that it's not really a statistic that forms part of the reporting process for the clinic but that she takes a call like this at least once a week. So I think that the drugs can reset or overcharge a system. Just never thought it would be me!
Amazing! Congratulations ❤️ This happened to me a month after our latest failure after 4 years of trying and 12 months of hell and I’m now nearly 20 weeks with our surprise miracle. They do happen 😍 those are lovely lines!
Hi hopingforbfp, it was aa cheapie without a needle from the chemist. It wasn't comfortable or specifically designed for insemination 😳 It was something you might use to get a few ml of medicine and squirter in your mouth. It costs 95c. That's why this is so surreal to me.
Congratulations, that is so lovely! Thank you for sharing your happy outcome. Reading your story has given me hope after a negative test today from our second transfer.
Same sort thing happened to me and my husband in regards to shock natural pregnancy with my daughter.
Do not worry! After our second failed cycle me and my husband went to Italy 🇮🇹 Before starting my next period (the first after the failed ivf) and I cannot tell you what a good time I had drinking as much wine as I wanted eating as much cheese 🧀 and cured meats! On our return I was shocked to discover that I was pregnant and my daughter is now a happy healthy 14 month old!
Thank you so much for telling me this! 🤗🤗 I just was not expecting the syringe to work. I did it on day 10 of my cycle and honestly, it was so I "felt" we hadn't wasted a month without trying. I was eating anything and everything I pleased!! When I threw up last night I was eating mushrooms!!!! 🙄 I was just not careful about diet at all!!
Hi Triplets_mom, it was just a cheaper needle-less syringe from the chemist. It wasn't comfortable or made for insemination. We did use it quickly though.
Congratulations!! 🎉🥂 I love hearing about these stories! It gives people hope and everyone on here knows the feelings of helplessness, despair, frustration you must have felt after your failed transfers and what this positive pregnancy test means to you now. Every good wish for the coming months!!!x
Wow this is such an amazing news congratulations try not to worry and take it easy I pray everything works out and you have a wonderful pregnancy and a healthy baby
Amazing news, I also got pregnant naturally first time after lap surgery & had the easiest pregnancy so 🤞🏼 You do to. Try & enjoy it 2 blues lines is 2 blue lines however they came to be 🥳
Congratulation!!! I personally think you should contact your clinic and your GP. There is no arm in telling them. I think it will reassure you. Maybe your clinic will agree on giving you an early scan?. I wish you all the best of luck for the rest of your pregnancy. Xx
A werid thing can happen after a operation, the body or you mentally was thinking about and experiencing a trauma. That's what happened?
Sometimes when a couple buy a dog or you adopt a child you can get pregnant. My friend went most of married life, IVF failed, she got to 46yrs, landed a Director, Partnership, lots of travel abroad. Then she thought was going through menopause, became very tired. Sick on a weekend. Went to doctor! Pregnant!
A massive congratulations to you!!!! This definately made me happy when reading!! Wishing you all the best with your magical journey 💞💞.
If you have a time can you please PM me how you use the syringe,I never heard this,If you will explain me step by step i will tell my friend she is struggling to concive,hope it will work for her as well 😘😘😘.
Keep positive, sounds like a little miracle has come your way! I fell pregnant naturally the month after a failed round of IVF, little man is now 7 months old! These are the best surprises ever wishing you all the best xx
Awww this made me so happy hearing a positive ending🥰Am so buzzing for you, it’s lovely hearing happy news...wishing you all the best in your pregnancy💛
Hi, wow amazing to hear this. Congratulations!!!. Could you tell me what needleless syringe you got and how you used it? If you could message me please. Thanks
I'm in a positive frame of mind today but was FREAKING out earlier because my pregnancy symptoms were really strong and then seemed to fade 😒 All I want is constant morning sickness! 🤣 I have a few cramps on and off as well as bouts of nausea at odd times now. But I understand that lots of normal pregnancies are like this. Hearing that made me feel better! Hope that you are doing well! 🤗🤗🤗
My symptoms waned some days too and I was like g I hope all ok and then a few days later would hit back again! I was told by a MW your hormones are like a wave sometimes rising sometimes stable as hcg is rising again symptoms can be stronger as they are stable for a bit they ease. I have my 12 week NHS scan tomorrow excited I’ve had a few private ones along the way due to a subchrionic haematoma but baby has thus far been growing well and ahead and I’m only now feeling less tired and sick. Hope everything goes well for your first trimester too xx
