Hi all - after reading terri's news earlier this week I can hardly believe I am writing this but it appears the same thing has happened to me. IVF failed in November and was just waiting for Af to arrive so that I could make my day 19 appointment for jan, but something, I'm not sure what, made me do a hpt today and its a BIG FAT POSITIVE!!!. I'm totally shocked and haven't had chance to tell DH who has been at his works Xmas do all day and came home in no fit state to hear any news but can't keep this to myself any longer.<br>had a Dr. appointment booked this afternoon for something else so took the test to show him - am doing another test for them tomorrow just to be certain but wont get the results til Xmas eve!<br>Now for the dilemma - am due to travel to my sister's Sat. for a big family get together before Xmas - they are going to notice if i don't drink so do i tell or not, given that i miscarried at 10wks before??<br><br>Anyway still in shock but soooo happy. best wishes to everyone & good luck to any testing soon<br><br>Louise (Lulu)
Hi Lulu<br><br>Well done you !!! You must be thrilled to bits.Wait till<br>dh finds out- what a wonderful christmas pressie !!!<br><br>I suppose you could always say to your family that you've had a chat with your consultant (assuming they know about the ivf) & he thought it best to abstain to get your body in best shape for start of new treatment or else just tell them- after all you are pg & they'll be thrilled to bits anyhow but also they'll be aware of how you feel. <br><br>Have a wonderful christmas & make sure you put your feet up when you can !<br><br>Love Dawnx
Another one, fantastic. This is really good news.<br><br>If it was me I would have to tell them as I don't think I could keep it to myself. Or at least the key people because I would tell them anyway if I did miscarry. hopefully that won't be an issue for you this time. Fingers crossed.<br><br>Have a fab time.<br>Love Sandra
Well done Louise<br><br>As you can see from my post - SNAP. It feels so good but so scary and don't really want to believe we are so lucky just yet in case it goes wrong. Do you know what I mean? or am I a loony? Don't answer the last part.<br><br>Anyway wishing you all the best. Merry Christmas well maybe not merry but have a good one.<br><br>Lisa(Loonpants)<br>xxxx
Thanks for all your messages and Lisa - CONGRATULATIONS and you're right it is incredible but soooo scary. Woke DH up at 4am to tell him and he was so shocked I think he thought he was still drunk!!! but it is the best Xmas present ever. My IVF was oct. not Nov (my mind is all over the place) and can't believe I've fallen naturally. Took sample to GP this am but couldn't wait till Tues. for ressult so did another hpt -big fat positive!!!!<br>Will tell family this weekend as there is o way i will get through the whole weekend without blurting it out. Like you Lisa I'm finding it hard believe and just pray that nothing goes wrong this time. I already feel different this time though so heres hoping. Anyway HAPPY XMAS to everyone. Take care (sorry for waffling!)<br>Louise (Lulu)
Lulu <br><br>So pleased for you. We always hoped it would happen for us but in the end we got a +ve with ICSI I think all these +ves gives us all hope.<br><br>Well done to you and your dh<br><br>Love and best wishes for Chrissie<br><br>Mandsxx
A massive Congratulations to you and your hubby, Lulu.<br><br>You must both be ecstatic with happiness.<br><br>Take things easy and enjoy.<br><br>Suzanne.x
Lulu<br>Oh my God !! congratulations. I think the Christmas angels are working overtime !!!!<br>I still can't believe it and am trying to stay positive but keep thinking the bubbles gonna burst.I don't really feel any different yet but the tests keep coming-up positive so I have to believe them :0)<br>Have a great Christmas<br>LOL<br>Terri<br>xxxx
