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?!

Oh OP these threads are my most favourite thing about Mumsnet! Congratulations :-)

Raindancer411 · 11/02/2022 14:20

Congrats!! My husband was told he could never have kids without help, and showed me all his hospital paperwork to prove it. I fell pregnant naturally at 30, and years later again, I am now sitting next to 20 month old at 40!!! The second was a completely shock as thought the first time was a fluke!!

Oh, what a lovely thread! How wonderful for you both!
You and your husband both sound like such happy and loving people. That baby is going to have 2 of the best parents it could get.

Congratulations, OP!

Can't believe I've missed so many updates (or remember the last time I used this name, December feels like a world away)

Anyway so excited to see the scan, like proper excited. Also your due date is Harry Potters birthday (and JKR) so I think it proves it's magic.

TabithaHazel · 11/02/2022 14:11

CONGRATULATIONS OP!!!!! Wishing you a smooth pregnancy x

Thank you for all the well wishes again everyone Smile
It feels nice to know so many strangers are happy for us. And I'm really glad this is giving other people some hope.
I 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.

@HaveringWavering I can't imagine we'll have any more after this, so it's nice to hear you are very happy as a little family of three.

Just read your thread OP. Congratulations and wishing you lots of happiness in the future with your little bundle of joy.

MinkyWinky · 11/02/2022 14:03

This thread makes me smile every time I read it. So pleased the pregnancy is progressing smoothly. The sickness is no fun, but sounds like it’s passing Grin

Northernsoullover · 11/02/2022 14:00

What a wonderful thread! I thought that's a strange looking LFT 😂 congratulations ❤️

SailingNotSurfing · 11/02/2022 13:52

A fabulous thread, so happy for you! A surprise baby when you'd virtually given up hope is absolutely fantastic. Wishing you well and hope the nausea passes soon. I remember puking into every litter bin I passed on my way to work - I'm sure passers by thought I was drunk Grin

WherezWally · 11/02/2022 13:49

This is such amazing news and I am so happy for you and I don’t even know you haha!! 🌺 x

REP22 · 11/02/2022 13:48

Many, many congratulations @Omgwhatthehell, what a lovely thread, and thank you for the updates.

Finding and reading this thread has really made me smile after a rather grim work week !

Congrats also to your DH and DCat! I sincerely wish you all the very very best. xx

CocoPancakes · 11/02/2022 13:47

I'm new to your post but just read through all and it felt like being on that journey with you. I just wanted to wish you and your DH a huge congratulations. This is such a lovely, positive thread to read that gives hope to people like me (and I'm sure many others too). I'm smiling for a stranger on the internet, which is a bit odd.

ClemDanFango · 11/02/2022 13:47

How lovely! What a wonderful surprise for you both congratulations and all the best.

Goooglebox · 11/02/2022 13:44

And especially strange to hear a heartbeat the next week and this little fat fairy bean reclining on my uterus!! You have it all ahead!! Enjoy!!

Goooglebox · 11/02/2022 13:42

This happened to me. I did a throw away test the night before starting IVF. I'd even had my cycle tracked that month and been told there was no egg and it was impossible to me to conceive without IVF. I only did the test because I knew they'd make me do one at the clinic. Strangest feeling ever. Amazing but very disorienting! Congratulations.

legalseagull · 11/02/2022 13:40

I have just stumbled across this thread and I am so happy for you 0P. Good luck for the rest of your pregnancy

Cagedbirdsinging · 11/02/2022 13:39

Congratulations OP !

spiderlight · 11/02/2022 13:31

Such a lovely update. I'm glad your sickness is easing off - it's so blooming miserable!

HaveringWavering · 11/02/2022 13:30

What a lovely thread-I scrolled through all your messages OP hoping very much that all was still well and delighted to see that it is! My son was born when I was in my early forties (second round of own-egg IVF, interestingly I can’t remember what my AMH was but sure it was not great; I’m shocked the clinic would not take your money for private IVF.) We could not be happier. And I’ll let you into a secret- having a late-in -life, against the odds baby means that you’ll probably end up just having one, and having an only child actually has loads of advantages. I’ve had times when I wished I had more, but I am more and more happy with our three person family the older our son gets (he’s now 5).

northernsquirrel · 11/02/2022 13:30

@Omgwhatthehell so pleased to see your update! Followed your thread from the start and so happy for you x

Ladybugzrock · 11/02/2022 13:21

This is so lovely! I know so well the feeling of a positive test when you were told there is very little chance if it happening. Just the best feeling in the world.

Huge HUGE congratulations to you both!

Dodie66 · 11/02/2022 13:19

Omgwhatthehell you might want to start a new thread soon because you can only have 1000 messages in a thread. Glad all is going well 🙂

SunnyLeaf · 11/02/2022 13:12

This thread is so lovely! Glad things are going well!

uncomfortablydumb53 · 11/02/2022 12:37

Hope the sickness passes very soon. It's lovely you have a bump to show with pride now
