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 had such a rubbish day at work and your thread has cheered me up and made me smile OP! Huge congratulations to you and your husband 🎉🎉🎉

Bellagio40 · 11/02/2022 22:07

What an amazing thread. Congratulations OP! Such wonderful news. I conceived naturally at 41 and was 42 when he was born and everything was absolutely fine. I think you are having a little girl.. Can’t wait for the updates. It’s so great to read a happy thread.

Think you may have missed some....

Mumofboys109 · 11/02/2022 22:01

I’m not sure what your colposcopy is for but do get the pregnancy confirmed because there are gynae conditions that can produce false human gandotrophin levels. Unlikely but a possibility. Go get a
Scan :-) congratulations xx

Congratulations op!

Juniper68 · 11/02/2022 21:58

What a lovely thing to read Smile

I think you'll be needing another thread!

rosewater20 · 11/02/2022 21:51

This is my favourite mumsnet thread. Such happy news! I found out that I am pregnant a couple days after you and so we have roughly the same due date! I've also had horrific sickness that hasn't ended completely in my 2nd trimester.

clarysageandlavender · 11/02/2022 21:45

This is LOVELY. OP if you live near Wimbledon DM me, I run antenatal classes and this is the best story xx

Starlightstarbright1 · 11/02/2022 20:53

Just read the whole thread. Congratulations.

Such a lovely thread.

Colouringaddict · 11/02/2022 20:50

So so happy for you both. Enjoy this special time if you get passed the sickness xx

LankylegsFromOz · 11/02/2022 20:45

Congratulations OP! We had our surprise 2nd when I was 42 and my DS was 6.5 years old. She is an absolute delight 😊

GettingItOutThere · 11/02/2022 20:45

ahhh what a lovely thread. Congratulations OP and I hope you start feeling less sick soon!!

I was very sick in pregnancy 1, through to about 20 weeks (sorry!), and by that I mean head down the toilet for most of the day

Chichimcgee · 11/02/2022 20:41

Congratulations!!

I was told I’d never have more children when my son was young and I’m 38 weeks, I’m so happy for you!
Had no sickness with my son but lots of nausea and vomiting up to about 30 weeks with this one who is a baby girl

Angrymum22 · 11/02/2022 20:34

Congratulations OP, just seen this thread. I was 40 when DS now 17 was born. I had fertility problems and had multiple miscarriages between age 32 and 40. We had decided against IVF and decided to get on with our lives. We booked a major holiday for my 40th birthday and I found out I was pregnant just before we went away. My best friend from cancer liege also went through the same.
It’s a big shock but a wonderful journey. Wishing you both happiness and a healthy pregnancy.
I thought I would be the oldest mum ever but it turns out that a lot of women are leaving it later. Many of DS friends parents are older and most of our family had children in their mid thirties so all of DS’s cousins are in there late teens and early twenties.
Life really does begin at 40 for some of us.

Philandbill · 11/02/2022 20:21

Such a lovely and happy thread. Belated congratulations OP.

namechangeanonymous · 11/02/2022 19:33

Congratulations Mummy to be :) Im currently carrying our 'one in a million' child after being told not to expect to fall naturally. were due in July too :) maybe it was a lucky month

WeAreTheHeroes · 11/02/2022 19:19

What a lovely thread. Happened to someone I knew - struggled to conceive for years to the point she had a career change to something less stressful. They had IVF without success. Once they'd decided to stop trying as it wasn't to be, she conceived and they now have two little girls.

MidLifeCrisis007 · 11/02/2022 19:18

What a lovely happy thread. The heartiest of heartiest congrats to you both!

I'm raising a glass to you!

Cheers!

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 11/02/2022 19:08

Such an amazing story @Omgwhatthehell so so happy for your family!

user1499191107 · 11/02/2022 18:59

So wonderful! Congratulations!! I had my one and only (living) child at 46 so I understand the disbelief and amazement. Good luck!

Carriecakes80 · 11/02/2022 18:59

Oh thats amazing for you! I had finished having my kids, or so I thought when I hit my 40's. eleven long years me and husband were trying for our last but it never happened...decided to forget all about it (though I was sad to!) and enjoy the life we have together, when I found out I was expecting twins!!

Life works in very mysterious ways!! I'm due in may! Sadly lost one of the twins but my little girl is kicking me merrily as we speak! x

SeraphinaDombegh · 11/02/2022 18:53

Just found this thread and it's so lovely SmileSmileSmile following now OP. Wishing you all the best through your pregnancy Flowers

piglet81 · 11/02/2022 18:51

Love hearing about 40+ successes. Gives me hope. All the best OP and I hope it goes well.

Opalfeet · 11/02/2022 18:42

@Omgwhatthehell well congrats I had my first at 39 and my second came along at 41.5, though he was conceived at 40...just! Not as ancient as I thought then 🤣
