Just found out guessing 5 weeks but no doc confirmed yet

in Pregnant after 35
I just found out I am pregnant this past week. Based on my last period, I am just over 5 weeks. I took three different tests to make sure before I told my hubby yesterday. I took a test last Thursday April 24th, then another on Sunday the 27th, and the last one this past Thursday May 1st. I think I just couldn't believe it since it really wasn't planned but we had tried previously with no success. This will be our first but I am nervous. My husband made the announcement which makes me more nervous since it still hasn't been confirmed by the doctor that it is viable. I have symptoms, sore breast, extreme fatigue, burping (yeah I guess it is a symptom) and headaches. I also (sorry tmi) am having to wear a liner because I am constantly wet. LOL I have never been pregnant before so I hope all goes well. I making an apt this week so I am just praying it is going to stick. I am 38 years old and my husband is 40. This will be our first.

    Yeah, my doc made me wait until I was 12 weeks in from my last period as well.  The waiting SUCKED, despite my BFP (two of them!). 

    Waiting is hell, but the time'll go by.  :)

    Thanks. I almost want to keep testing to check but I know a positive is a positive. Three of them in a week. Lol

    Congrats!  I took a home test when I was about 5 weeks based on my last period.  I called my primary care provider (i didn't have an OB yet) and i did a urine test there and got it a positve- then got refered to an OB. I got seen about 2 weeks later when I was closer to 8 weeks and I had an internal ultrasound done.  Waiting is hard but heres to a healthy and sticky pregnancy :) 

    BTW i'm 35 and will be 36 when i deliver with my first.

    Congrats! All of your symptoms sound right on to me ( I am also a burper). The waiting game is no fun for sure. It sounds like we will have similar due dates!
