Hi everyone,
i was on the infertility board and after 2 years of infertility, 6 timed intercourse (thanks COVID) a dozenish IUI’s, all BFN’s, failed IVF (couldn’t even do PGT-A or ICSI), surgery for DH, and 1 practice IUI, we finally have our BFP yesterday!!!!
it was a blood test. I was so sure I wasn’t that I didn’t even pee on a stick. The doctor wants me to come back on Monday for a second test to see if the hcg has doubled. I’m thrilled and over the moon to finally hear the news. I cried when they called. The whole staff was on speaker. But now I’m getting nervous. I keep shoving any negative thoughts and won’t entertain them but anxiety is growing. I keep going to check that I’m not bleeding. It’s surreal and I feel that alot of this is the trauma of infertility for do long. I was working on my exit plan. I knew exactly what we were doing for the next 3 cycles and based on each result i had plan a-z lined up for the next cycle. In all honesty this was a practice round. DH had surgery 3 months ago for sperm and wouldn't have the most effective sperm until Aug 3. We did this last IUI as a practice to see how I responded to new medications. We used 3 frozen and 1 fresh sample for a total of 2 mil sperm. Had sex twice. We really weren’t expecting this. So yes I’m over the moon but I was already at a cracking point.

(I do see a therapist but it would be nice to hear from others like me)
Re: Just got BFP
I’m 15wks tmrw after IVF and many years of IF and loss. It still doesn’t feel real for me either. It’s going to be fun ride but you got this!
I got another beta today because I had a scare last Friday. Beta came in at over 50,000. I’m 6 weeks 1 day as of today and ultrasound is next Wednesday.
