This shock natural pregnancy may actually be happening - I know this is sensitive and tbh I was quite resentful when I saw people getting pregnant naturally on here as I assumed it would never be me. We have been TTC for 10 years, never had a sniff of a bfp naturally, turned out to be a weird responder to ivf and had rounds cancelled, then covid stopped treatment, and then I didn't respond at all how the doctors predicted and had two early losses on fresh transfers. I do have a daughter from my first FET, but since then I've had a distastorous one egg round (which ironically was meant to be for banking) and that ended in a PUL and surgery. Then a BFN on a FET. For context - and maybe this is too much personal information but here goes - my partner and I have had intercourse a grand total of 3 times in over a year (infertility and IVF have sadly kind of killed that for us) so this is just about the least likely thing that could have happened - I actually thought my progesterone was staying high because I had cancer, that's how much I couldn't ever believe we could manage it naturally. Plus I'm coming 40. So if any of this gives anyone hope then it's worth posting. But it's not over and I will worry every day, which is sad.
Also, aside from feeling a little nauseous and cramps early on, and now being extremely tired, I have zero symptoms. With my daughter I was barely able to move at this stage (and that carried on up to the third trimester) so goes to show the symptoms don't mean a huge amount and can differ each time. I wasn't on any special diets or supplements, I'd had quite a boozy month with family occasions, started a new very stressful job, and wasn't on progesterone support or aspirin or any of things I thought had made all the difference with my successful transfer. So of course now I'm worried I've done lasting damage but I can't do anything about it now and just have to hope. If this doesn't end well, I will still feel completely changed towards my body and grateful that it tried and I am not 'beyond repair' as I was beginning to feel. Thank you for reading and all your support as always x

This is wonderful news! I sometimes read about those miracle pregnancies and think they’ll never happen, so this just goes to show you never know what’s round the corner and when some (long awaited) positive news will come your way.
Best of luck and I really hope to see good news in a few weeks of that confirmed heartbeat x
I argued with the poor doctor who suggested I might be pregnant - he was just reporting on a hormone profile after my last FET was a BFN and in preparation for a natural FET next month, and he said my progesterone was so high I must be pregnant. I was quite angry given the circumstances and started quizzing him about what I should do now given that I probably had cancer... he gently suggested doing a pregnancy test and I scoffed and wasn't going to then found some old tests and thought well I'll just put this to bed so I can get on with chemo or whatever. I was nearly sick when it was positive. I did 10million more tests on every brand to make sure. (And I did apologise to the doctor and thanked him profusely).
Sounds a bit similar to me we had a very hectic boozy month, parties, hen and stag do’s, a wedding and I’d completely given up hope but there it is and that’s why there is always hope 😊
Thank you for replying. So everything was/is ok for you? As soon as I got over the immediate shock of the BFP I felt intense dread and guilt because I thought I'd done some awful damage and ruined my only chance by drinking cocktails. But so many people I know who've conceived naturally have been in the same boat and have been fine so I am just trying to put those thoughts to one side and concentrate on a different worries (like it not being in the right place, or genetic issues because of my age) as I can only manage one set of worries at a time!
congrats on you’re amazing news! I shouldn’t worry about the cocktails… most people don’t know they are pregnant as early as IVFers so would be carrying on normally!xx
