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 wonderful and joyful thread. Congratulations

Congrats! I've just come across your post. I would say from the nub on that scan that you're having a girl ☺️ wishing you the best of luck during your pregnancy. I have a few weeks left until I meet my little one!

Absolutely delighted for you both. Been thinking of you today. Older mum here, slightly different background but after fifteen years trying and then giving up we have two under two.

Oh wow! I had my dating scan yesterday it's so amazing isn't it. That's exciting telling the family

Omgwhatthehell · 21/01/2022 18:49

@DefyingSanity We are looking forward to finding out the sex!
We’ll be happy whatever it is, but DH is very un-laddish so said if he had to choose at gun point he’d probably go for a girl. We’ll see what they say at our anomaly scan in the middle of March.

@irishfarmer Yes, it was so amazing! I hope you enjoy sharing your news with your family and friends Smile

Just read this entire thread. How lovely. I had a baby at 40. Older mums rock. Many congratulations Flowers

@Omgwhatthehell

We’ve had our scan and all is looking good. Thought I’d share it with you all. Due date is 31st July.

We were both quite nervous but the sonograper was lovely.
She said all is looking well. And that the baby has a cute face. I imagine she says that to everyone, but it was still nice!

It was incredible to see the little one moving around in there. And see all of it’s fibgers and toes. We feel excited but are very much taking this stage by stage.

We chose to have the tests available. There’s no sign of Down’s syndrome from the scan, but we should know within 4 days if the bloods indicate a high chance of this, Edwards or Patau.

Congratulations. So excited for you both cxx
Omgwhatthehell · 23/01/2022 13:44

We’ve had so much fun telling people this weekend.
My parents are absolutely thrilled. My mum almost cried.
And my close friends are so much more excited than I imagined! Most of them have children so we’ve had lots of offers of baby clothes and toys. It’s been really lovely.
