I posted something at the end of last week's pregnancy check in on TB, but I'm not really sure what the proper protocol is for surprise BFPs and I want to be sensitive to those who are struggling. But, I'm really anxious and in need of some good vibes.
So, it's been a crazy few days. After some bizarre nausea and the lack of my pre-period spotting, I took a HPT and was beyond shocked to see a second line pop up the second the test was wet. DH and I weren't officially trying, but we weren't being so careful either. My RE won't see me, but my OB agreed to run 2 betas and p4. She thinks there is a chance I may be even further along, as she is confused why my HPT would be so positive based on my cycle day. My last period was super heavy, so I think my dates are still right. Anyway, I'm not sure when my beta numbers will come through, but I'm guessing sometime next week.
Even though this was not necessarily a planned pregnancy, it is very much wanted. We are so excited, but I'm so very scared of something going wrong. Without all the extra meds, my symptoms are different and IF brain is messing with me big time. I just never thought I'd be one of the ones with an unassisted pregnancy and, truly, I'm just not a very lucky person. I'm just so anxious.
If you guys have any spare sticky baby and good beta vibes, can you send them my way. Maybe also some CTFO vibes too! I'm so, so scared.
Oh my goodness, congrats!!! It's ok to be scared. Deep breaths. Take it one day at a time. My pregnancies felt very different for both of my boys, and they were both from IF treatments. Keep us updated. I'll keep everything crossed for you!
RUTHIE!!!! Oh My Goodness!!!! I am SO thrilled for you! I didn't see your post at the end of the pregnancy check in. I will be praying that everything is just fine. And so you know I do have all the meds right now and I'm still convinced something is going to go wrong. That's just what IF has done to us. What beautiful beautiful news! Please keep us posted!
I'm so excited for you! I also had a somewhat surprise, but very, very much wanted pregnancy with P. It did definitely feel different than my pregnancy with E. I was super terrified too. I'm so glad that your OB is willing to get you in for betas and P4. My RE saw me for the first 12 weeks. It's going to be really hard to be a "normal" pregnant person. Sending you so many thoughts, prayers, sticky baby vibes, and everything else I can think of. Congrats lady.
Aaaaaaah!!!! Congrats gf!!!!! I am so excited for you!!
My current pregnancy was a "surprise". Technically we really gave it a good try (we had sex 7 times in 12 days) but we didn't think it would actually work. The only reason my RE saw me was bc i was technically a patient at that point. I had done all my pre FET testing and was supposed to call w cd1 to get my schedule. My IF brain got the best of me several times in 1st tri. It did get better for me after 12w. I hope it's the same for you.
I've had that fabulous surprise! It's equal parts awesome and terrifying. Deep breaths. I just saw my OB since we hadn't returned to the re yet. They didn't do betas, but I did get a dating ultrasound (which isn't typical around here) and seeing it in screen made it real. It's a crazy ride, but a darn lucky one!
Started TTC# 1 5/10
DX: Unexplained IF
Lots of IUI's and 3 IVFs later we have a daughter!

TTC #2 IVF #4 and an FET brought us DD #2 on St. Patrick's Day!
Thanks guys! I am totally in the "wait, I'm having cramps. That's not good. Oh no, the cramps stopped. Something is definitely wrong" phase of this whole thing. If anyone understands, it's you all!!

This is terrific news even though it's a complete mind fvck right now. Hang in there. Hoping nothing but the best moving forward. I hate how IF keeps us from fully being able to enjoy these moments. Hugs.
DS born 2011 (@35 weeks gestation on my bday) after 2 years TTC and 3 medicated IUIs
DD born 2014 after 1 year TTC, two MCs and 3 medicated IUIs
Dx anovulatory
Beta#1 is 181 at what I think is 3w6d. That's good, right? Progesterone was "great," so I think things are okay for now. I'm so bummed I have to wait until next week for #2!
Okay here's the abbreviated version:
3 failed IUI's
1 canceled IVF cycle due to 1 follicle
2nd IVF cycle still only 1 follicle but we go for it anyway
1 egg to 1 embryo 5 day transfer
Bring on Beta hell and 3 weeks of them telling us it wasn't a viable pregnancy.
9 months and borderline high blood pressure, borderline diabetes and placenta previa my beloved miracle was born happy and healthy.
