Today is OTD. Not my first had several (6/7 transfers including doubles over the years). As I left, I stopped by the reception and booked in my follow up as I was already the answer and I was expecting this cycle to be exactly like all the others. I was uber organised. Took my sharps bin, and my expired meds dropped of at the clinic pharmacy and only brought enough stuff to work to last me until they called with the official result which I thought might be around lunchtime . Lo and behold, a positive - me! This is OMG territory for me. Scrambling now to get home to take the rest of the meds and to get to the pharmacy as I didn’t expect a positive so only kept what I needed. I think I zoned out in disbelief when the nurse was talking to me but she said HCG hormone was 107 and I should head back to the clinic on Friday for another test.
Didn’t have time to google what this means but I just wanted to say I thought I would know but I was wrong and you wise ladies/ who have reassured me over the years were right. Thank you! Still super early days but the furthest I have ever gotten…I might be having a baby after 11 years. 😮.

Omg hun! So freaking excited for you! Don't know if you remember me but you've been around since my ivf journey years ago! I've just woken up on my son's 3rd birthday and seen your notification in my email! Had to jump on and say MASSIVE congrats to you!! It's been a long time coming my dear! So freaking happy for you ❤️❤️❤️
As if I would forget! Love that we are so both kept our same profile pictures! My dog is 7 now…not quite the 2 year old in the picture… I have on and off with IVF and then busy with passion projects it kind of fell by the wayside…until hubby shall we give it ago. It was rushed from start to finish. I barely had time to register and it was test day! I bloody missed all your news too! 3 years ❤️. Congrats my lovely… it’s good to hear from you but even better to hear your news!
I tried to personal message you all day to tell you and I kept getting disturbed! Given myself a headache from shock. I actually wrote to my hubby as I walked into work on time telling him felt like a winner this morning, did xxx and xxx and xxx all before 8.30! He is travelling for work so I sent him a follow up text with the news…. Thank you for everything. I really am in shock.
Went in psycho mode and though / hmm what game is Mother Nature playing at now!!!
If you are happy with the HCG then I won’t Google. I will just pootle on to the clinic on Friday. I am however going to wee on the stick as I have never seen a what a positive pregnancy test looks like.
Also very ashamed to say I put the scan and photos from the embryo transfer in the bin this morning when I left home. Had to ask the dog walker to retrieve it when she took the dog out at lunch time( she is in hysterics)
This is wonderful news! I’ve had a BFP at 5dp5dt today so it may not last but I’m enjoying this moment of actually being officially pregnant! Wishing you a wonderful pregnancy x
Congratulations this is wonderful news . I am so pleased for you ! After such a long time on this road I can imagine it’s hard to believe. Wishing you every ounce of luck for a healthy pregnancy ❤️ xx
Thank you so much for your kindness. I am in shock I think I am hysterical- I look dazed like they do in the movies when there is an explosion. Hopefully a restful snooze 💤 will set me right! Thank you xx. Now I wish for all my friends on here know know about me than my own family do from periods etc get good news too!
Bless you ! it will take some time to settle in & for you to believe it’s really happening, everything you’ve been through all that treatment over the years for the chance of a possible pregnancy & when it does result in a positive it is like wow it really can work ! Xx
My first measurements was 107. It's a lucky number. Sending you good growing vibes whilst I lay next to my snoozing nearly 4 year old that started life as that 107!
oh how wonderful. I’m going for transfer tomorrow and feeling very down as had 5 cancelled cycles this year and my lining just scraped 7.1 this time (has been 5 or less all year) so we go tomorrow. Your story has given me positivity and hope so congrats and thank you xxx
Good luck on your transfer!!!I had my first FET 13days ago...I wish i hadn't tested before I wad supposed to,just because my mind was more at ease before I saw the bfn...I'm not supposed to test before Sunday, so I'm really hoping that bfn will turn in to a BFY🤞🤞
And I keep reminding myself that my tests have taken a long time to get positive earlier.
Lost 2 times at about week 5-6 before ivf and didn't know i was pregnant before I lost them.
So,if you can,maybe try to wait with the testing till you're supposed too?Stay positive and take care of yourself.
My little IVF miracle is 3 tomorrow and I still remember all of those feelings vividly. Sending you so much love and luck. My little boy is proof miracles do happen…. I’m just greedy praying for a second miracle with my tired thin lining but god works in mysterious ways and we are so ready (over ready) as a family to welcome another bundle of joy xxx
congratulations and thanks for sharing your experience in step by step it was lovely to picture you and really made me chuckle. Praying everything continues to double and grow x
thank you! I will keep everyone updated. The scan from the embryo transfer has been retrieved from the bin and is safe. I will be heading to the pharmacy later today to get more meds and sharps bins etc as I handed it all in yesterday !
Congratulations!!! Odd how your happy for a stranger you've never met before! Lol. I'm currently in my TWW. This is my 4rd round of icsi and 3rd transfer.
We have been on journey for a few years with varied results and its been a rollercoster of emotion but this time I seem to be at my calmest, not googling everything symptom and not constantly thinking about the outcome. Odd to explain.
Reading everyone's stories always makes me think I'm not alone and it's always worth one more go, like you it can happen. Congratulations again xx
Isn’t it weird - well for me anyways - I hear other people announce their pregnancy and I cannot help but get that horrible jealous feeling in my stomach and think oh well that’s nice for you… but on here it makes me grin from ear to ear! Congratulations!!! X
