Pregnant after 35

Intro

Well, I'm pretty shocked to be joining here again. I was active on this board when we conceived DS back in 2012-2013. I wasn't physically or mentally prepared to ttc again until about 6 months ago and kept meaning to make an appt w/ our RE but kept pushing it off. DH and I were trying but our timing was usually bad or DS would be sick or one of us would be sick, something always came up. Now approaching 42.5, I kind of figured my window was about closed and since we didn't want to do anything too extensive for fertility treatments, we'd probably be one and done. 

Well, long story short got my bfp two days ago. First month we used preseed again, I swear I'd write a testimonial for that lube for free, each time I've gotten a bfp we've used it, it's kind of crazy!!! So long road ahead, we've agreed not to tell anyone until our first OB appt. Meanwhile my head is spinning at managing a 2yr old while pregnant. Anyway, fingers crossed, I know it's really a 50/50 shot here of this working out so holding out hope we've used up all our bad luck already.

Cheers to everyone, excited to recognize some faces!

  • Nice surprise :)  Welcome and congratulations!
  • Welcome and congratulations!! My daughter is 13 months and will be 22 months when our new little one is born. I too worry about how to take care of a toddler while pregnant and how to juggle a baby and a 2yr old!! But people do it all the time so I'm sure we'll get through it somehow. Hopefully with our sanity still intact. :)
    Me:41, DH:41 Positive for MTHFR mutations- one copy C677T, one copy A1298C. One daughter born on Thanksgiving in 2013. Six losses.
