After our failed IVF in November my cycle in December was 33 days and in Jan it was 28 so I didn’t think anything of it when it was cd32 yesterday as it’s been known in the past to be a little out. I was due to go out last night and have a few drinks and although I’m not usually one for having tests just lying around I knew I had one from our failed IVF. I decided without believing it would ever be positive to use it ( I’ve had no symptoms or anything) and to my absolute surprise it was a pretty quick positive that came up.
It was really surreal as that’s the first positive test I’ve ever had, we’ve been trying for 3.5years and done two rounds of IVF. We were due to start our next round in April. I have a super low AMH and our consultant told us whilst not impossible it was very unlikely we would ever get pregnant naturally. I started taking DHEA in December and I can’t help but wonder if this has played some kind of part?
Whilst I am so so grateful I just feel a little numb to it, I didn’t feel excited but more like it wasn’t real. I’m afraid to let myself believe it’s going to happen because it’s so early on and I’m so aware of all the negative outcomes. Did others who finally got their positive feel this way? Thanks for lending an ear, we aren’t telling anyone but just needed to get it out x

That’s totally wonderful news- huge congratulations to you! How exciting!
Seperate note, can I ask, why did you start taking DHeA? Were u advised to or just wanted to? I read about it briefly but what are your views on it? Xx
Congratulations on your pregnancy. Like you I felt it was very surreal in the beginning however it became more real with each scan and certainly when I started to feel baby move. As time goes on you’ll start to feel more reassured and it becomes less about the knowledge of being pregnant and more about the ‘tangible’ feeling. Enjoy...x
Congratulations! You're probably still in shock... and anxious due to the journey you've had to reach this positive. Hopefully it feels a bit more real soon and you can enjoy it. Lots of love. xxx
