Hi everyone, I'm Allie and I'm 43.......................... and nine weeks pregnant 
.
Guess I'm a bit of a late starter
Never really met the right man until 5 years ago. We weren't really ready until last year when I came off the pill after being on it since I was 16 and fell pregnant two months later.
Unfortunately I miscarried at 8 weeks. We then laid off really trying for a few months and started again back end of last year and had no success until I stopped using KYjelly.
Was the OH who did quite a bit of digging to find that KY isn't really the thing to use if you are trying to conceive, so he purchased some pre-seed and hey presto, one month later I'm pregnant again. (OH thinks it's his family supersperm, as his brother has 6 kids and he's one of 6 himself)
I have been told that it's good going to naturally conceive at my age, but I'm quite fit and an active gym goer (six times a week, and really missing it at the minute)
Had first MW appointment last week and just this morning received appointment for first scan on 8th August. That'll be when I'm 15 weeks, so going to try and see if we can get it moved forward or pay for a private scan. Both of us past ourselves worrying, but soooo excited at the same time.
Never thought the OH would be going to such extreme lengths as he is, to make sure I do zero at minute
So, sorry for droning on. Nice to read everyone's stories, points of view and help.
Will keep an update as to how we get on (all fingers crossed)
