So to explain the background my husband and I started trying nearly 3 years ago, he has two children (now grown up) from a previous relationship. After 11 months nothing was doing so we started having tests and it transpired that his sperm quality was poor in all 3 categories, movement, shape and quantity. We were told the chances of us conceiving without IVF were slim to none. So we were very upset but gave up trying, I didn't bother going back on the pill as I didn't see the point, fast forward to last Thursday. I couldn't remember when my last period was after having religiously recorded it every month since January 2016 and my boobs had been hurting and swollen although for me this is normal before AF arrives. I just decided to take a test as I had a couple spare, to my amazement when I turned around and looked at it a minute later two lines showed up. In absolute shock I called my husband and told him the news. The lines on the test we very dark and came up quickly. I then took another test later that day, again a quick positive, dark result. The following day I took a digital that was positive within a minute and 3+ weeks. My boobs are still a little sore but I don't have any other symptoms and given how much we struggled am really really panicking! I'm waiting for the midwife to call me to arrange my first appointment and have a doctors appointment next Thursday - the earliest I could get when I called them last Thursday! I'm in such a state worrying that something will be wrong or it's not actually viable - anyone else feeling like this??
