Is this positive?!

I’ve name changed for this. I am due in hospital tomorrow for a colposcopy because of periods being all over the place. Just decided to do a pregnancy test just to be on the safe side.
DH and I were told earlier this year it was very unlikely we could conceive due to my age and low AMH levels.

Was not expecting this. I’m not going nuts am I? Is this positive? Is there any way it could be wrong?

DH is at work & I can’t talk to him for a couple of hours. Am shaking.

Is this positive?!

This is brilliant!! We were in a similar situation and had a wee surprise baby. Best thing ever!

Thank you @Omgwhatthehell! I can't wait to hear about the save arrival of your baby in 7 ish months time!

@Tillow4ever I’m sorry to hear that. I’m glad our news has made you smile Flowers

Thanks @TheMagicDeckchair My midwife was reassuring when I mentioned my age. She said it was really not a big deal and they have plenty of women my age and older having successful pregnancies.
She told me they recently cared for a 53 year old mother. Although that was with donor eggs. I don’t feel too ancient knowing that.

I don’t mind Mumsnet following this up until the kid is 18 to be honest! It feels nice having you all behind us. Thank you Smile

Congratulations, such a great Christmas present. It took us 4 years ttc and two full rounds of IVF to have our eldest. Then last year I had a surprise natural conception at 40, and I had twins (gave birth at 41). You’re definitely not past it at 41 and I’ve never been made to feel geriatric like everyone says. I’d also had a couple of bottles of fizz with a friend a few days before I had my positive and the babies are fine.

Will be following your updates. You do realise Mumsnet will follow this until birth?!

I've only just found this thread and it brought a huge smile to my face on a day that's normally sad for me (I miscarried twins on this date 15 years ago). I'm so happy for you, especially reading your history.

Wishing you a smooth and healthy pregnancy! Good luck for the daring scan!

This made me so happy! Please update us ❤️

@Omgwhatthehell lovely to see your updates :) I'm 11+4 now so a little ahead of you. I know all about the hunger!! But finding little and often helps. A few of us from here have a private group going for July/ August due dates send me a pm if you would like to join.
Love seeing you updates :)

Thanks @Nottogetapenny
I will keep this thread open Smile
I am hungrier now, which is good. I had a real lack of appetite a few weeks ago.
I’m also embracing a weekend nap!

Beautiful news, so happy for you ❤

Nottogetapenny · 08/01/2022 13:51

All very good and positive signs, even though feeling nauseous and being extremely tired are awful.
What wonderful news your family and friends are going to hear soon.
Look after yourself and please keep this thread open, it’s just so lovely. 🙏😘

Hi everyone. No updates at this point @squishyegg
Thank you for all the lovely posts on this thread though.

I’m about 10+5 now. I’ve had nausea on and off, my boobs are enormous and I’m more tired than usual.
We are now just waiting to have the end of first trimester scan in a couple of weeks. I know it might sound a bit silly but we are really trying not to get too excited until we’ve reached that point.

We have had chats about baby names and who we are looking forward to telling first though! I think quite a few of our friends and family will be surprised so we have had a laugh imagining their reactions.

I will be sure to update you all when we’ve had our scan.
