TTC after 35

Pigs must be flying now!!!!!! BFP!!!!!!!!!

I'm in absolute shock.
I don't even know where at begin, first I will thank everyone for helping me during my very long journey. I know I'm not out if the woods yet but however this ends up ( I hope it's with a baby in my arms) this will be the end of my ttc journey.
Me and @rspalding001 are twins.
This is my third pregnancy since my last live birth. I do have two older children (DD18 and DS 10) they will both be a year older when this little one arrives. My EDD is 2/8.

This was my first month ovulating in over 6 months. DH and I had sex the day before and the day of positive OPK. That was CD 8 and 9. My usual cycle is 21-23 days. Those were the only two days we had sex this cycle so I know for sure that's when O happened.

I have no symptoms yet. My cervix has been high and firm for a few days so that gave me high hopes.

I'm scared shitless right now.
I will call doctor on Monday for betas. I want to know early on if this is viable.
I know this sounds weird but I'm not telling DH until after I'm sure this is going well. After the last few years of trying we both just thought it would never happen so I want to spare him the hurt if it doesn't work out.
But who knows I may change my mind and tell him we shall see.

Holy shit I'm graduating!!!!!!!

I will do my Monday, Friday posts for a little bit still. But in a few weeks I will have to pass my torch on.

    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April

    I made a special trip over from "the dark side" when I heard this news.  Sooooooooooo happy and excited for you!  A very happy, healthy, and completely uneventful 9 months to you!  Yay! Yay! Yay!.. doing a big happy dance.  Would gif you but I can't remember how over here anymore. 
    me:41   dh:43 
    Off Mirena Nov 2013, On Nuvaring end of Jan, Back off Sept 2014.  Never ending cycle starting end of Sept... 
    11/14 Provera failed... cycle continues 
    12/14 High FSH (57 "midcycle")  OBGYN had no clue... about anything 
    01/15 More lab results coming back from RE. U/S showed small (1")cyst on left ovary, thin lining, and couldn't locate right ovary so  possibly straight to DE and IVF 

    Occassionally mess with the chart below to see "what if" and learn (not to make it pretty but because FF stays drunk with me).
