TTC after 35

30 Cycles and nearly 3 years: BFP

Surreal. After my second IUI was cancelled, we opted to take a month off. So this past cycle, I stopped temping, turned a year older (37), had a UTI, and drank more liberally than normal while TTC.

Saturday, I had what I thought was an evap line. Sunday, a FRER quickly proved me wrong. Today my beta came back at 50 confirming I'm pregnant. 

We're... honestly, too shocked to be fully excited yet. My DH keeps saying "it's just so weird since we've never seen a line before at all." I can't stop staring at it and thinking "why now?" Like there's some thing I'm missing.
 
I'm so terrified. You'd think three years would have prepared me, but it just gave me more time to fully hone my worries. 
 
Only symptom was being extra cold (which makes sense if my temperatures are running higher than normal).
 
Looking forward to seeing you all on PG>35.

AMA & SAIF. TTC #1 since Oct. 2010. DX: Unexplained. BFP on break after 32 months trying and 2 med cycles. Baby girl born at 40w0d!

    Congratulations! Similar thing happened to us a couple months ago - total shock BFP after thinking I couldn't get pregnant (we weren't trying). 

    Have a wonderful, harmonious nine months! xoxo

    Big Congrats!

    Made me smile too... I stopped temping this cycle after BBT crapped out, I just had a birthday too and between the birthday and holiday, have been drinking more than usual :) 

    And funny, as much as we're ready, I'm convinced that my initial reaction to BFP is going to be more "terrified" than anything else :) 

    Thanks for sharing!
