Sorry I've been MIA-BFP warning

in TTC after 35
Hi! My husband and I went on a last minute trip while on the TWW and I went off the grid (mainly bc I couldn't log in with my phone). Anyway, I went to Labcorp while on vacation and my nurse called me with the news of BFP. I don't want to be Debbie Downer here, because this is GREAT news...but my husband and I were nothing like the couples you used to see on the HPT commercials. We've been ttc for nearly two years and like many of you, have done everything docs have advised, me=gain weight/clomid/IUI/IVF shots/monitoring etc. and we've been down the road of the nurse calling saying, 'congratulations!' only to answer a call a week later informing me of a chemical pregnancy. It's not that we're not excited and happy-we're just both a bit wary, cautiously optimistic, I guess. So, for today, I'm pregnant, and I thought I'd share the good news here.
On a side note, this is the only board I've ever been on, and everyone is so amazingly supportive of one another, if no one minds, I'd like to stay on and lurk for awhile, if that's okay. Thanks the support!
TTC #1 for 21 Months
Husband: 41
Me: 36
3 failed IUIs
changed REs
1 failed IVF (chemical pregnancy)
