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?!

What a great post and I am so so happy for you both! I was you 18 years ago, we were both given a zero chance of conceiving without IVF and a 5 % with.
I could not believe it. My doctor could not believe it.
I have had a very special child who very soon will go her way. I thank God every day for this time together.
It will be amazing, enjoy it all!

I have also just stumbled on this absolutely gorgeous thread. Huge congratulations OP, I'm wishing you all the very best! Flowers

This is wonderful Smile

MuchuseasaChocolateTeapot · 11/02/2022 16:11

I have just stumbled across this thread OP and I’m so glad I did, I have been grinning goofily all through your posts. I was terribly sick when pregnant with twins (hospitalised with HG) and the doctor told me it’s a good sign as it means they are taking all the nutrients they need from you. That’s when I started calling mine ‘the parasites’!

I’m so pleased for you both x

Pipsquiggle · 11/02/2022 16:06

What a lovely thread. Congratulations.

Yes the 20 week scan is when we started telling more people

username48582 · 11/02/2022 16:03

Such a lovely thread. Congratulations OP Smile. Keep us up to date on the sex.

Troubleinpergatory · 11/02/2022 16:00

This thread came up on trending and I've just sat and read through all of your posts, I may have something in my eye!

Massive congratulations OP, I agree with the sonogropher who did your scan, your baby DOES have a cute face.

This has really cheered me up after a crappy day Smile

NotMyselfWithoutCoffee · 11/02/2022 15:49

Oh my gosh, so glad to hear everything is going well so far, sickness is a sign of a healthy pregnancy. Wink
Unfortunately I can't promise it will go away as mine lasted until nearly the third trimester, it does ease off though for most women. Also I was very itchy especially on my stomach second tri, apparently some itchiness is normal due to stretching but it's best to let your midwife know just in case.

12 weeks scan sounds very promising so fingers crossed for 20 weeks, I'm sure everything will be fine though.
I thought I had a gender preference but when it came to the scan I honestly was really happy and excited when I found out it was a boy, it felt real then. 💙

Aw this is the nicest thread I've read on MN in ages. Congratulations

BringBackCoffeeCreams · 11/02/2022 15:41

Congratulations OP. I know how it feels as I was very similar 9 years ago. MNetters screaming at me to go and get a test as I couldn't even comprehend that it might be a reality at 41 and having given up all hope years before. The nice chemist told me to come back and pay for the test later as my hands were shaking too much to put my pin into the machine. I remember going to the scans and expecting them to tell me that there was no baby, even when I went for one at 36 weeks. But he's 8 years old now and driving me mad so it must be true.

YouPutTheScrewInTheTuna · 11/02/2022 15:40

Definitely... a very positive positive! Congrats :)

stealthninjamum · 11/02/2022 15:40

Congratulations op, I’m so happy for you. Xx

Fredstheteds · 11/02/2022 15:10

Brilliant news

Tenohfour · 11/02/2022 15:10

Please keep posting, I am so emotionally invested in this! Wishing you everything lovely!

OystercatchersPaddling · 11/02/2022 15:04

Wonderful to read how you are doing OP. Best wishes xx

Nat6999 · 11/02/2022 14:57

I was told my chances or conceiving were low due to pcos, I had just been referred to start the IVF journey & had just been given my first appointment, we went on holiday & I was in a funny mood, either arguing black was white or crying my eyes out all week, we came home I knew something wasn't right & did the last test I had at home, it was like yours a glowing bfp. Ds is 18 now, my miracle baby.

NotSorry · 11/02/2022 14:55

ah I love this thread - thanks for updating OP and best wishes

Spudlet · 11/02/2022 14:52

Just saw this thread on active, popped in, read all the OP’s posts and now I’m sitting here smiling ☺️ Congratulations and all the very very best!

ivykaty44 · 11/02/2022 14:48

was chatting to the lady who took my blood at the 12 week scan and she reckons it happens quite often that couples struggle to conceive, decide to give up trying and reconcile themselves with it, then lo and behold they find themselves pregnant naturally

I have old friends who adopted and then conceived, so there is only a year between the dc.

congratulations!

Mummyoflittledragon · 11/02/2022 14:43

Congratulations! Dd is an ivf baby so I understand how precious an against the odds pregnancy must feel. She’s 13 now and I’m worrying about lots in her life. Your posts have instantly grounded me into realising just how lucky I am. Smile

mylittleyumyum · 11/02/2022 14:43

I've read this thread start to finish with a huge smile on my face, so chuffed to be able to share this with you :)

Shouldhavebutdidnt · 11/02/2022 14:34

Congratulations, what wonderful news. Like you we had given up after all the test showed it would never happen.

It did happen! Our little miracle is 3 and I’m 45.

Good luck Flowers

HaggisBurger · 11/02/2022 14:25

This thread made me really smile today!! Hoping it all continues to go well and you feel less nauseous. Your joy just radiates from your posts. Flowers
