TTC after 35

OMG BFP!!!

I broke down and tested!  I don't dare get excited yet, I don't know if everything is ok.  Tried to call the nurse and the office is closed for lunch- I need to see my OB/GYN ASAP!!!  Can't tell DH yet because he is in Texas and has an event this afternoon.  I won't be able to talk to him until tonight.  TORTURE!

Please please let everything be ok this time.

Me:41, DH:41 Positive for MTHFR mutations- one copy C677T, one copy A1298C. One daughter born on Thanksgiving in 2013. Six losses.
