This is my first ever post. I am a 35 year old female who will be 36 this year.
We were not actively trying to conceive, but were not taking any precautions either. It's no accident - my partner and I are in our mid 30's, both with no children, but have discussed having kids together.
We had sex on the day New Years day (the day of expected ovulation) and the days leading up to it. I knew pretty much within that first week that I was pregnant. I'm very in-tune with my body and could feel it happening. Finally, at 9 dpo (last Thursday) I took a test. Positive. I have taken a test every day since and the line has gotten progressively darker (see below). There is no denying that I am pregnant - even though I am only 12 dpo. It is possible I ovulated earlier, but I can usually tell because I cramp.
My fear? I'm only 12 dpo! My period is due on January 17 (this upcoming Thursday). What if this doesn't stick? I'm terrified that it's not going to last. My partner and I are so excited...but I am scared to get too excited. He wants me to stop testing - we know I am pregnant and there is no need to reconfirm what we already know unless I start bleeding. But I'm 36 this year and terrified that my age may cause issues.
I have been cramping from 3 dpo right up until now...but today I was getting more period-like cramping...but not continuous, just a little on both sides earlier this evening.
How do I squash this fear? I am driving myself crazy with worry. Any thoughts or advice??
