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?!

So lovely to hear how things are progressing! Roll on July and his arrival x

Lovely to hear it @Omgwhatthehell! Pregnancy was never very glamorous for me either but it was utterly worth it. Thank you for updating - would love to hear after you’ve had your scan!

Hi @SpaceFarce
Funnily enough I was thinking I must do an update tomorrow as I have a 32 week scan.
Will let you know how it goes but touch wood all is well 😊
I have a very obvious bump now. Have generally been feeling pretty good, although was really suffering with piles last week after starting on iron tablets. Pregnancy is very unglamorous at times isn’t it?!

Thanks for updating. Nearly 3/4 there, exciting!

Thanks for the update @Omgwhatthehell . So great to hear your news, fab that he is moving around a lot. I hope the scan goes well and antenatal class is interesting/helpful 😍

@DancinOnTheCeiling I'm good thanks! Just coming up to 28 weeks with a very visible bump. I have a 28 week scan next week, but all seems to be going ok and I'm feeling pretty good. He is moving around a lot now which is nice and a bit weird.
We start an antenatal course next week, which we're quite looking forward to.

@RedHelenB I only did three tests in the end. I don't think that's too excessive Smile
My periods were all over the place and the odds were stacked against me getting pregnant naturally so it wasn't quite as simple as missing a period. I just couldn't believe a positive test could be real. But it was and here we are!

Edit, just realised dates. Hope all is going well, but my post still stands for anyone else getting a positive test.

I’m going to go out to buy another better one just to be sure. One of those clear blue ones maybe.

Don't have a whole shoebox full like on Gavin and Stacey. No period and one positive test means you are pg. Spend the money on another pg test on a cuddly or first outfit, that's what I did

DancinOnTheCeiling · 06/05/2022 07:58

I just found this thread again, how are you doing @Omgwhatthehell?

GrandTheftWalrus · 21/04/2022 18:24

Wow 6 months already! Won't be long now. Baby walrus is 1 next month and it just seems like yesterday I had her on the living room floor as she was in a hurry 😂

ijustcouldntthinkofausername · 21/04/2022 18:15

How lovely 🥰🥰 I loved being pregnant! Hope you're having a nice pregnancy x

I thought the green ones were ovulation sticks

It was definitely a pregnancy test. My large, six months pregnant belly is proof!
😂
The green one was a cheapo pregnancy test I happened to have in a drawer.

They say hcg on, it's a pregnancy test.

Lovely thread, wishing you all the best OP!

So glad everything is going well op!

I'm just beaming catching up on all of your thread, OP. It had fallen off my watch list somehow, but today you are back and well and baby (BOY!) is growing as we speak. I could not be happier for you. You sound like you will be a lovely mum. Well, you already are a lovely mum. Enjoy all of this, every precious moment. Please keep posting as all the Aunties can't wait to meet him.

Lalliella · 20/04/2022 23:40

What a lovely thread 💜 Congratulations OP

Hi @Nottogetapenny and @Heronatemygoldfish
All is good with me!
I’ve still got a cat glued to me most of the time bless him. I tried to have a nap late this afternoon and he jumped on my chest to join in, purring really loud and waking me up.

I have definitely been enjoying getting everything prepared for the new arrival. We’ve got most of the big stuff sorted and I’ve been picking up some lovely sleepsuits and baby grows.

I’m just over 25 weeks now and my bump has really popped out over the last week. It’s hard to believe it’s still got a lot of growing to do.
I’m feeling pretty good though, touch wood. Just a bit tired every now and then.
I’m torn between not being able to wait to meet our little one, and wanting to have enough time to make sure everything is ready for him!

Will keep you all posted.

I love this thread. I too was an older mum with a surprise boy at 40. Said boy is now taller than me and a teenager, and I also had a cat glued to me during pregnancy! I wish you all the best!

Nottogetapenny · 20/04/2022 16:53

Hope you are well, and enjoying shopping for your baby boy.
