Hi everyone
I felt that I should give a little hope out there to all of you as I've never come across a story like mine.
I'm 32, been married for 5 years, trying for 6.
2 years ago we were finally referred to St. Marys in Manchester, it took another year before we actually got an appointment (2010). We had unexplained infertility.
Since September 2010 we had been making the expensive monthly trips to the hospital, which we did until March 2011 to be told everytime that my egg count was not high enough. I was ready to give up, it was too hard emotionally.
We went on holiday in July and it was the best holiday ever, so relaxing.
Earlier this week on Monday 8th August I bought a pregnancy test which I'd not done for over 4 years as it was getting expensive! The reason I bought this test was because I started bleeding after my 'period' which I now know was not one.
It was positive, I took another one-same result, I made my husband drive me to Sainsburys to get a Clearblue test, two tests - same results.
I've been to the doctors several times this week, each visit I've made them do another test as I was still in shock! they're positive.
I've had blood tests too to try and determine how far along I am, they estimate I'm 7 weeks but unfortunately my ECG level has dropped significantly so I have to go to the hospital tomorrow and I'm preparing for the worst, they've said its not good. I've been bleeding on/off with a few cramps a little clotting but not heavy or bright red so they didn't see any cause for concern prior to this as everyone is different.
My point being its taken me 6 years, hang on in there, I know its hard and emotional and the unexpected happened to me, might not be the outcome I'd hoped for but I'm now a believer again.
