Holy crap. Just peed on a stick for the first time in 7 years

[regularbutpanickingabit]

and it showed two lines immediately. OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG!

Regular but namechanged for obvious reasons. I am well over 40 and thought this was way behind me.

2 kids, both heading out of primary school pretty soon. Years of fertility issues and multiple miscarriages means no contraception for nearly TWO DECADES and suddenly I realise being 5 days late might not be because of a perimenopause and I had better pee on a stick.

Always wanted lots of kids but gave up on that years ago. Looking to move house which we can barely afford to docas it is but have to for various reasons and just booked a big holiday.

Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DH at work. Several children on playdates at my house for the rest of the day. Am trying to cook whilst staying serene and not screaming out OMFG I AM AN OLD FAT AND PREGNANT WOMAN every time they ask me to turn on the x box.

With my history it probably won't stick around anyway but i am extremely nervous about the bottles of wine consumed over the last few weeks. Bottles. Not glasses. Bottles. Shit.

Now what???

Haha, how sweet! That moment is once in a lifetime!

Lovely xx

This is such a lovely thread. Congratulations OP . I'm sure there's a lot to take in, but what a wonderful surprise too!

Oh fantastic! Congratulations glad DP is happy and hope you both get over the shock soon!

Mine had left secondary school and one had finished university when we had our little midlife baby (at 45) She is 11 now and the apple of everyones eye and the best thing ever !!!! Congrats!! hope all goes well x

Thank you all you vipers you! We are both still in shock and most definitely finding denial quite a cosy and comfy place to be but it might feel more real once I speak to the consultant tomorrow. I need major meds and more than a wing and a prayer to keep a pg so I think that is keeping us from getting too giddy.

Having said that, I have never had such a strong positive on a test before and I have just bought a fancy digital one to take later so i can see how pg I am.

We also think we have managed to work out the one time we had sex when this could have happened. Quite a novelty after a decade of knowing my cycle intimately and making sure every intimate moment of my cycle was spent doing what we needed!

Breakfast - that makes me feel better! So glad it worked out brilliantly for you,
