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?!

I’ve just seen your thread

This is just utterly lovely. Congratulations Flowers

Congratulations! What a wonderful start to the new year. Don't worry about being an older parent. Your DC will be very well loved. We had ours @ 40 and 42 (surprise conceptions) and loved every minute. DP and I were more secure financially and emotionally and I think that helped. DCs are students now - I can't believe how time has flown!

Happy new year, here's to an exciting new year for you 🥂💐

We had a lovely Christmas thanks @Fairyfield
And no one else is any the wiser!
Quite a bit of the social stuff we were due to do was cancelled because of friends and family testing positive for Covid and/or being extra careful because of Omicron. So we’ve had time to relax at home and I haven’t had to come up with many more excuses for not drinking!

Our scan is in a few weeks time so, all being well, we’ll tell family and friends then.

I’ve just been out for a lovely dinner with DH, and we’re going to ring in 2022 at home with some Appletiser for me.
Happy New Year!

Happy Christmas Eve people!
I forgot to mention, my midwife is called Holly, which I felt was fitting giving she’s helping look after our Christmas surprise.

We are absolutely keeping this a secret until the next scan. All of the family meet ups have now been cancelled over Christmas due to Covid in the family. We’d already told everyone we want a quiet cheap January and will be doing dry January, so I think we can get away with keeping a low profile until then.

For now we’re processing it together.
Rest assured I’m looking after myself. I bought the last of our Christmas food yesterday (the important stuff like chocolate orange, Yule log and more mince pies) and DH is back in the kitchen right now making brunch playing Christmas tunes. Perfect.
