Hi all. I'm 41, I just did a pregnancy test 2 days ago after having various symptoms that were pointing towards me being pregnant. It was one of those fancy Clearblue tests that tells you how far along you are. It said Pregnant 3+ weeks. My last period was 6 weeks ago. I have 2 older kids from my previous relationship who are 12 and 14. Unfortunately I had an MC at 10 weeks in 2020. We started trying for a baby again in mid-2021, NTNP at first, then I started doing ovulation tracking after a few months of trying. Both of us are also taking various vitamins and supplements that are supposed to help with TTC.
I was starting to think it just wasn't going to happen for us. I would absolutely love to have a child with my DP. He is brilliant with my older DCs, and they have said many times they would love a sibling. Right now, I am feeling somewhere in between being very excited and also very cautious considering my age and previous MC. DP feels the same way about it. He is excited but nervous. Haven't told anyone I'm pregnant yet except DP. When I was pregnant last time, we both got a bit too excited and started telling people too early. I am just doing all I can to stay calm and hoping I can make it through to 12 weeks at least.
