Hello
Haven't been on the board for a while - very busy with moving house and work etc etc.
Some of you may remember me from my first IVF cycle back in June/July which for those of you who don't tested positive but I bed just a few days later.
Well sit down before you read the next bit....................
I am now 11.5 weeks pregnant - all totally natural - spent a week in the Maldives on holiday during a very stressful housemove, came back and low and behold I was pregnant.
Have wanted to share my news with you all before now but superstition told me not to, still think I am tempting fate. Have a scan next week to test for Downs - fingers crossed. Personally I am still amazed that after nearly 6 yrs of trying I am in this condition. The down side is that I have felt totally pants for the last 2 months - certainly not blooming and feeling so bad that I can't really enjoy the fact that I am pg yet - but that time will come or at least I hope so.
For those of you still trying and hoping what can I say except, dreams really can come true, I really believe that having something else to take my mind of the whole baby topic was what worked for us, not that I would recommend moving home as a treatment!!!!
I wish you all luck, you all deserve it, in a way I feel guilty for this happening, but I know that you will all be so wonderful in supporting me.
Keep trying and hoping
All the best

Hey DeeDee !! That's fantastic news. I'm sooo happy for you both 
!!
As you say, it just goes to prove that there's something in taking your mind off all of this IVF stuff, and focusing on something else for a change.
I hope you start to "bloom" soon !

Dee Dee,
Congratulations! What a surprise that must have been for you!
It is encouraging to hear that this does actually happen sometimes....not that I'm going to get my hopes up by any means! Do you mind if I ask what the reasons were that you had been doing IVF? In our case, it is male factor so I guess I always think there may be a glimmer of hope something could work naturally.
At any rate, I wish you the very best!!!

ttc 9 years. 38 yrs old, dh 8 hrs younger!First IVF in Aug 2002 and had ectopic.2nd IVF neg.3rd FET and negative.4th FET and positive but sadly lost our little boy at 20 weeks.5th FET and Alice Isobel and Emily Charlotte born 5th Aug 2004!
A BIG thank you to all for your kind thoughts and wishes - as if you are ever anything other than 100% supportive.
Staci - unspecific female infertility - ie: they had no idea - the ARCG said high FSH (ie over 10) but it was always lower than that when tested elsewhere!!!! - Not a big fan of the ARGC!!!
Fingers crossed for you all - you certainly all deserve everything you wish for and I still can't believe that I am in this condition - doubt it will sink in till it arrives - and that is still a long way off.
Scan tomorrow so perhaps will start to finally believe it when I see it - still think I have been eating too much and having turned 40 this must be the start of the change.
Happy holidays to you all - relax and who knows what might happen!!!
