TTC after 35

**TW** Beta tomorrow to verify a couple of BFPs (!?!)

I took a digital test yesterday afternoon and one this afternoon (13 & 14 days post iui) and the word "pregnant" popped up both times! I scheduled a beta for tomorrow afternoon and will get those results Thursday. I ovulate early so AF isn't even due until Thursday. DH and I are trying not to get too excited until then!

Funny story though...I tried to test yesterday mid morning, but what I thought was a pregnancy test turned out to be a non-digital OPK! I had forgotten that I ever used anything other than the digital OPKs and the line test was in a fatter package so I assumed it was a HPT. DH and I were rushing out the door to go snowshoeing and we agreed I should test to just "get it over with and move on". I was moving so fast that I took the test through my confusion (oh I thought this was a digital...wait what is this?). I forgot how to even read those so looked it up on the way to the mountain and through some googling found that a positive OPK (what I ended up with) can happen if pregnant.  We picked up the real tests on the way home and have been in a state of blissful disbelief ever since.
