TTC in your 40's

My husband and have been trying off and on for 3 years. We decided this was going to be our last year of TTC. My recent issue has been my yeast infections. It wouldn't completely go away. So TTC became challenging. I use to take my temp every morning plus prenatal vitamins and stopped them because l gave up on hope. I was still in tuned with my body signs such as feeling sexy (1 day of wanting rip a part my man) and change of discharge.

The day I was feeling sexy (they say that's when you should start TTC) was on day 13. So we threw all cautions out the window and TTC.

2 days later my boobs started to get tender which I thought was normal.

When l noticed I was 3 days late, l thought it was normal. When I was 5 days late, I tested with a home pregnancy test (the Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com) and it came back positive. It's never done that before, it's always been just 1 line only. I said out loud WOW OH WOW OMG!!!

So I tested on day 7 with the First Response Digital and Clear Blue digital and they both came back positive 2 - 3 weeks. Since my husband left for a fishing trip, I sent him a picture of the two test.

Still not getting too excited yet until we get the blood work back. Doctor called us and said its positive!!! We're pregnant and both super happy!!!

I am currently now 7 weeks going on 8 weeks pregnant. This is my first pregnancy and when they say you get baby brain plus lack of sleep well, it started the week I found out I was pregnant. September 15th 2014 can't wait to meet our little miracle.

Never say or think you can't get pregnant in your 40's. :-)
