OK..
I had a FET on July 13. My beta was negative (on the 23rd). I took another HPT like 10 days after that, because I am nuts and wanted to be totally sure things were negative. (it was). Had 2 days of very light spotting on the 28th/29th. That is it.
I have not had a period since then. Cramping a little bit for the past week or two. Just took a HPT. Positive. Is this possible??
Left a VM for my fertility clinic, and anticipate I will have a blood draw tomorrow to sort things out. But for tonight........???
My AMH was like 0.3 and my ovaries didn't respond to all the ER meds and this isn't supposed to be possible and now we are freaking out a bit. Could this be that same embryo and it sat around for awhile before implanting weeks later? That doesn't sound possible. But somehow getting pregnant riiiiiight after a failed FET???
Me: Age 40 Husband: Age 41
Chemo killed my ovaries (along with a BRCA1 mutation, which causes DOR)
4/30/13 ER just prior to chemo: 8 embryos frozen at 2pn. 2 survived to blasts/1 PGS normal
4/16 ER cancelled on CD7: 1 follicle on L/ 0 follicles on R
FET #1 7/13/16 BFN
Super shocker +HPT 9/19
Baby Alyce arrived 5/8/17
Went forward with donor eggs from my sister for baby #2
ER 4/24, 5 eggs fertilized/1 survived to blast and was chromosomally normal.
FET 2/15 (my sister/donor's birthday!). Beta 10dp5dt:172; beta 12dp5dt: 425

Re: Pregnant RIGHT after failed FET????
Me: 34, DH: 38 ~ TTC since 2014
IUI #1-3 (Nov 2015, Feb 2016, May 2016) = BFNs
IVF ER (July 2016) = 7 PGS normal embryos
FET #1 (Sept 2016) = BFP! DD born 5/30/17
FET #2 (April 2019) = BFN
FET #3 (July 2019) = BFP! DS born 3/27/20
My beta was July 23rd. I had 2 days of light spotting on 7/28 and 7/29. I took another HPT on 8/11, which was negative.
9/19 HPT was bright blue positive, with afternoon urine (not am)
$5k worth of menopur and follistim had zero effect on my ovaries. Nothing about my body works correctly, from a fertility standpoint, except my uterus.
I literally just signed a legal contract with my sister for her to donate eggs to my husband and I next month. I have a 'known donor' psych eval with my husband on Thursday for final approval to start the egg donation process.
I am convinced this is maybe a chemical pregnancy or something. I had a blood draw this am at the clinic, and they will call me soon with my results and next steps. If it is positive, they will do an US to figure out what the heck is going on, and get the gestational age if there is in fact a little growing embryo in there. I don't think this could possibly be my female FET embryo, but who knows.
Shocking, at the very least.

Apparently, I am pregnant.
I go in tomorrow for an US to sort out dates and all of that. They say there is zero chance this is the embryo we implanted--my beta after the FET was zero, not a small number that was considered a negative result. They think I must have ovulated on my own in August and gotten pregnant on my own. I don't keep track of any bedroom activities/timing, but we do have sex on a regular basis and something must have just gone right.
My husband is freaked out because of the concern for chromosome issues (we did PGS for our embryos), so we will have testing done as soon as we can to rule that out so he can be excited. He doesn't feel this is real. They tell me there should be a heartbeat tomorrow--I think that will make it feel real!
