Almost 13yrs ttc (Sensitive post)

[AnnieAnnie]

It has been almost 13 long years, 4 ivf cycles for me and a doner cycle from my sister. Over this time I have had many tests, procedures, surgery, diagnoses and moved country and started university as a 40 year old.

Last Wednesday I had my 5th embryo transfer, and today had my beta-hcg 9dpt which was 114 (my fs said that anything over 50 is positive) and makes me 4 weeks pregnant.

This is the first time ever, I've had a positive test. To get to those 2 pink little lines in itself is a miracle that I almost gave up hope on.

I am tentatively now waiting for my next beta-hcg and know that there are milestones I need to make especially with my Hashimotos and BP.

Congrats! I also have hashimotos and am currently 38 weeks pregnant after my 6th transfer. You got this! X

[AnnieAnnie in reply to CyclingAddict]

CyclingAddict that's so great to hear! With your Hashimoto's, has your fs put you on anything?

I'm currently on prednisolone 20mg a day, clexane and injecting progesterone. I have a feeling mine will try and stop me early, but I'm going to push to be on everything as long as I can.

Thanks. I'm in-between jobs at the moment, my new job starts 7th October so I've been lucky enough to get plenty of rest after this transfer.

Update - on day 16 my hcg was 2457 and on day 19 I managed to get a 3+ weeks on a clear blue digital which needs hcg to be a min of 2753.

[AnnieAnnie]

Further update at 6 weeks 3 days - I miscarried with very little pain and not much bleeding. Although my hpt were getting darker/stronger I woke yesterday morning to bleeding and a few large ish clots. Not much bleeding in between but by the afternoon I passed a couple more large clots and a small sack of tissue which I knew straight away was our little embaby. I had a scan today at 6w4d and nothing could be seen, and my beta hcg has reduced to 1397. This little miracle has finally given us hope though and the drive to push on when we thought we were coming to the end of a very bleak journey.
