Is this positive?!

[Omgwhatthehell]

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.

Glad all's going well @Omgwhatthehell

Please keep us updated.

I’m so glad everything is going well OP. I’m loving the updates!!

This is probably the loveliest thread ever. Enjoy every minute.

Congratulations OP-such a gorgeous thread, am so pleased for you

I normally dislike these 'am i pregnant' threads, as they are always accompanied by a negative test and 9 out of 10 posters cooing and ahhing about how it's a positive.

But this is a wonderful thread, and I am SO pleased for you @Omgwhatthehell CONGRATULATIONS!

Hi,
Just discovered your thread and reading through your story so far.
Want to say a huge congratulations 🎉
Baby looks so cute in the scan photo

Please keep us updated how your pregnancy goes,I’m invested now! 😀

I have been following since you first posted, and I am so pleased for you. I look forward to many more updates, especially around July/August.

I've just got a little update for you. I've had quite bad nausea the past few weeks but it seems to be tailing off!
I actually nearly cried on a work video call the other week as I felt so awful. I've had to get off a bus to vomit and have been gagging every morning in the shower.
In the past couple of days I really feel I'm turning a corner, thank god.
I feel so much brighter. I've also started to develop what seems to be a baby bump, rather than just a bit of bloat, which is nice.

It's been fun telling people. One of my friends was so shocked she actually had to immediately sit down in the middle of the floor
We've still not told all of our friends and family, but will do after the 20 week scan, which is in just over 4 weeks.

So nice to hear! Well, not nice that you've been nauseous, but great that things are progressing. I remember the pure relief when I started to feel better at around 16-17 weeks.

The sickness is no joke is it!? @EishetChayil
It's so nice to be feeling a bit more normal. I usually do quite a bit of exercise but it had gone out the window. I'm hoping I can get back on it now, albeit gently. I've found a local place which does pregnancy yoga so am going to start that in a week or two.

This thread makes it all worth it coming on MN! Such a lovely story, so pleased for you

Aaw congratulations 💐

Lovely update! I know how awful pregnancy nausea can be, hopefully you have passed the worse of it. It seems no time at all since you started this thread and you are almost half way! Looking forward to more updates. Take care and look after yourself. Xx

Love this thread and can’t imagine your elation So pleased for you OP. I’m going to guess it’s a little girl.
Wishing you a smooth and healthy rest of your pregnancy , enjoy!!!

Just came across this thread. Absolutely delighted for you Op. Congratulations to you and your DH. x

The sickness is great news as you have a much lower chance of stillbirth and miscarriage! I had hyperemesis for nine months and baby was so healthy - slept through every night from six weeks! She's now 10 and has been to the doctor only once in her life!

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

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

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 🙂

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!

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

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).

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

Congratulations OP !
(What a lovely thread this is)

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