Pregnant after 35

Introduction - welcome to the crazy house

Hey ladies, just thought I'd say hi... I just found out today via FRER (um, three of 'em) that I am newly pregnant with #2.  My LO is only 9 months old, and while we are very excited, we're also both in shock! We were "kind sorta" trying to get pregnant again (want to have one more and then be done and hopefully done changing diapers before age 40 -- I'm 36, DH is 37), our timing has been off for the past three months (or so I thought -- surprise!)

ANyway- just wanted to introduce myself as I think I'll be hanging out here a bit.

I took the test on a whim - I was cleaning out beneath my sink and thought "why not?!" because my boobs have been a little painful and I've been super tired... almost died when I saw a positive. Got 2 more positive later in the day - all BFPs were on the FRER... digitals are still saying "not pregnant."

I have a docs appt on Thursday morning to confirm and test my levels - last time around I had low progesterone and had to be on suppositories so I just want to make sure everything is on the up and up!

    Haha, thanks.  It was intentional but not without concern.  I am 36 and DH is 37 and we both "age up" in October, so we wanted it done asap (we plan to only have this baby and then we're done!)
