Ivf and donor age 47

Hi all. My wife is 47, We have been married for 23 years. Got two children age 22 and 19.  After the second child we decided to have the tubes tied.   That was 19 years ago. Well last year we went for tubal reversal and found out my wife had abnormal fallopian tubes after the reversal. After 9 months TTC nothing happened. In early July this year we decided to look into ivf.  The timing was great. The ivf began straight away.  We found a donor and the treatment began.  Our donor gas us 19 eggs, 15 fertilized, and 10 left after 3 days. 2 embryos were transferred on 06/08/2011 and 8 were frozen.  We are now on 19/08/2011. 13 days after transfer and my wife has had 5 pregnancy tests. All have shown pregnant,  The last shows 3+ with clearblue. We advised the clinic and they said the results could be incorrect and we will have to wait until the 20/08. Does anyone know if the tests could wrong and show a false result. The total cost for the ivf treatment was $18000.   Would lover to hear from people as we are unsure of the results.    Ps. I'm doing all the legwork as I think you girls have enough to worry about.

Good luck to you. Hope all works out.

Our baby is just over 1 month old. Our story is we both went on a big diet before my wife became pregnant. We both  lost 20 kilos each in 3 months, eating the right foods, plenty of fruit and vegs. Plenty of swimming. I believe this was one of the major factors in helping to become pregnant. The weight loss took off at least 10 years in the way we felt.

I would suggest also that you only look at the positive links rather than e negative ones when you are trying to get pregnant as I believe that they have an effect on how you feel and could change the outcome
