Previous natural pregnancies

Post by Corinna »

Hi all.

I'm sorry to post on here. I just thought that you would be in the best position to help me. I hope you can give me some advice.

I have just had my first ICSI which was BFN. :cry:

When I went for my initial consultation, my consultant was really positive about a good outcome as I have been pregnant before and have a 13 year old DD. He said that my body "recognises pregnancy" and we shouldn't have any problems. I had 2 ectopics 6 years ago which resulted in the loss of my my tubes. My DH also has very low sperm count (verging on azoospermia). My DD was concieved with a previous partner. The cycle was going great (low FSH, thick womb lining, etc) We managed to get 6 good embies (grade 1's & 2's) and thought we were on to a certain winner!!

Anyway, when we got a BFN, I was distraught!! I guess I felt so certain that it was going to work for us.

I have noticed that a lot of ladies who already have children, tend to have a BFP on their first attempt at tx. I feel that because I haven't, there is something wrong somehow.

Is there anyone out there that already has children, but didn't get a BFP first time?? I guess I just need some positive stories that although a BFP didn't come first time around, it was successful eventually.

Many thanks. Corinna xx

Corinna, yes it does work for some first time, but dont lose hope for the majority it dosent. Just think if we were trying naturally with a healthy male and female getting pregnant can take months. The good thing is you know you can and it is just a matter of time, it is so hard though dealing with the disappointment.

you will get there

love
