So, I start an infertility blog and look what happens....

I got a BFP! How the hell did that happen? I wasn't on ivf meds, didn't have egg collection, no transfer... you mean I got pregnant by having sex?? Bloody hell, who would have thunk it!!
We were in our 2nd last cycle before going back to ivf. Saw my lovely naturopath around 7DPO and we knew we had one more shot at it before ivf. So, waiting, waiting for AF to arrive so we can get started and she never shows! I waited until 18DPO before testing and there it was...a big dark pink test line staring back at me. By that stage I knew deep down I was pregnant. I had spotting at 9dpo (implantation I'm guessing) and by 13DPO (I have a 11 day luteal phase) was experience nausea which was keeping me awake at night. It took me a while to work up to doing the test. I've been to my GP and had a dating scan. The scan didn't show much, just a small black thing in my uterus. I'm only just over 5 weeks so I guess I can't expect to see much at this point.
The worrying has already started. The nausea has calmed down and I just get a bit of cramping every now and then.
I'm going to need a straight jacket very soon.
