BFP Stories

Early Pregnancy Symptoms and Big Fat Positives

BFP After 4 Years TTC

Its amazing how much comfort can be found in strangers. This site has been such a source of strength as I've waited to get my BFP for four years. Last week my happy ending resulted in a BFP.

My Story:
Husband (35) works great, I (34) have anovulation (lack of ovulation) + unknown other infertility. We TTC naturally for 2 years, 1 year slightly
guided by OBGyn. Last year we began infertility treatment.
3 IUIs w/clomid -BFN
3 IUI's w/injectables- BFN

Pretty much lost hope as doctors scratched their heads as to why I was not conceiving. Blood work confirmed that my blood contains 95% sperm antibodies which most likely explains past failures. We decided to try IVF in February. This is my first attempt at IVF. 16 eggs retrieved on 2/14, 15 matured, 12 fertilized through ICSI. 5 day transfer implanted 2 blastocysts, froze 5.

12DPO- very full feeling in lower abdomen, cramps but not painful, fleeting 13DPO- full feeling in abdomen, so tired fell asleep on couch in middle of day. Took HPT and very faint line appeared. Not sure if this is remains of trigger shot or BFP
14DPO- slightly queasy, sleepy in afternoon. Morning HPT is lighter line than day before. Afternoon HPT is as strong as test line. CELEBRATION!!
16DPO- Blood work confirms preggers
Symptoms through today at exactly 5 weeks- Slightly queasy, sleepy in afternoon, twinges in belly. None of my symptoms are particularly strong or noticeable. Happy beta numbers: 254, 515, 2014. First ultrasound end of this week.
HAVE HOPE! xo

Yay! Congratulations! I bet you'll have twins! keep us updated when you do get your first ultrasound! Good luck with your pregnancy!

Congratulations!!! Wishing you happy and healthy 9 months!!! It must have been such a difficult journey for you. So happy your first IVF is a success. It looks like we might go with IVF also due to male factor. So nice to read success stories.

Thanks for your post. This is the first one I read since maybe 4 months. I started to feel not that programed for this and even forgot to come and see this site. I have been TTC for 4 years too. Been to doctors, analysis, etc. Whith your comment I am much confident again. Good luck and a bit for me too. Hug. 

Oh, I am sending you a long distance hug!  I so know how you are feeling.  In January I found out I failed my last IUI attempt. I sat paralized for entire day in my chair in sadness feeling this battle was over.  I would never have my own children.  One month later I hold the double line happy HPT in my hand.  Please keep your hope. Know you are SO NOT ALONE!   I wish you luck, strength and your happy ending! 

Congratulations! I have also been TTC for 4 years- 1 IUI, and 2 IVFs were both BFN. I'm currently in my third IVF cycle. We transferred 2 embryos and our beta date is 7/26/12. Hoping my husband and I will be celebrating soon as well!
