Ivf and donor age 47

[Babysat46]

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.

If you used a donor, your wife did not have hCG injections, the donor did.  Therefore, a positive is a positive, there is no hormone she is taking that would have given her a false positive.  The clinic is being stupid if they tell you that you could get five false positives.  Congratulations, she is pregnant!  You're going to be a dad again.  :)

I think your a sweetheart for posting this.  It's nice to have a man posting on this forum!  So, welcome to our community!

The reason they told you it could possibly be a false positive is because of the HCG injections.  That is the same hormone that a home pregnancy test works off of.  So it is possible to still have HCG left in the bloodstream (and urine) from that.  However, in most cases it is gone app. 10 days pas transfer, so I bet anything you two are pregnant.  Tomorrow is the 20th, so you will have your answers then, but I would bet we are celebrating with you both.  Please try to pop in and update us....nothing we love more here then a happy ending story.  Best of luck, and as we say around here SSBD!!
