8dp5dt - first BFP after 13 years TTC!

[Linzb]

Hi,

I caved and tested early today 8dp5dt of a frozen blast. I did a first response and got a line but then did a digital to double check and it definitely looks like a BFP 🤞🏻

My OTD isn’t until Tuesday when I go for a blood test so 4 more days to wait. I can’t actually believe it but I’m trying to stop myself getting too excited because I know a lot of things can still go wrong but I’ve been TTC for 13 years!!!

I’ve had 4 full cycles of IVF, first 2 resulted in no fertilization, 3rd I had 2 blasts which were transferred and BFN, then on the 4th I had 7 top quality blasts, 1 was transferred - BFN, and 6 frozen. It’s the first of these frozen ones that I’ve had this time.

I always read other posts on this board looking for hope and learning from other peoples experiences so felt like I wanted to share this today, especially as I’m holding back telling other people yet! Good luck to you all wherever you are in your journey X

[BW14]

congratulations, seems this last round was a really good one. Can I ask did you do anything differently to get such a good amount of blasts and pregnancy 🤰 xxxxx

[Linzb in reply to BW14]

We made changes in each cycle, the main change last time was moving to donor sperm. In both previous transfers I got my period on day 7/8 after transfer. I’d been using pessaries so asked for lubion injections this time instead.

[Twiglet2]

eeeeeeeeeeeeek!!! That’s a nice strong line 🫶🏻🙌🏼 yay! Try not to worry about the next bit for the next few days at least for right now you are defo pregnant 🤗💜 xx

Congrates Linzb. How old are you and did you use any supplements?

[Linzb in reply to Nakijo]

Hi, I’m 38. I did try supplements a few years ago, I also tried acupuncture for my 2nd one, but didn’t do anything additional for the last couple of cycles. We’ve made changes each time though, the first 2 rounds they only retrieved 2-3 eggs and the clinic wasn’t going to make any changes, so I changed clinics where they use a different stimulation drug. A few years had also passed but in the 3rd and 4th rounds I had 21-28 eggs retrieved! The main difference in the 4th round was changing to donor sperm. And for this frozen cycle I moved from pessaries to injections for the progesterone because previously I’ve got my period 7-8 days after transfer so hoped this would help.

[Linzb]

Thank you everyone for your lovely words. Just wanted to update you as today was OTD and my HCG levels were 757 which I think is good! I’ve been worried since the positive test because I’ve been spotting for about 6 days but hopefully that will settle down so I can relax and enjoy this. Good luck to everyone else on your journeys x
