41 and likely pregnant

I just did a pregnancy test tonight. The line was faint but there. I am 41 and have 5 kids from my first marriage. I have been with my boyfriend for almost two years and was on yaz so... What are the actual risks? Freaking out a bit now

Wasn't exactly sure what you meant by risks.  I'm 45 and 16 weeks pregnant.  During the first 12 weeks I had a 50% chance of m/c due to my age and the fact that I've had 3 previous m/c's and no live children.  I also had a 1 in 11 risk of having a baby with a chromosome problem....typically down syndrome.  I had genetic testing done a couple weeks ago and baby is healthy.  I'm not sure what the risks are at 41, but I do know they are quite a bit lower than for my age.  Good luck and ...I want to say congratualtions, but can't tell from your post if you're happy or not....so I'll just say that I hope everything works out the way you want it to.

You could possibly be pregnant get another one first thing in the morning but donor use the bathroom at all until I get that test bc your first pee in the morning will be able to show up real food so get one first thing in the morning just try to hold your pee in until u get it
Message me the reply please thank

Well faint or not a line is a line when it comes to a prego test as long as it showed up within the 10 minutes after u took it.I would say positive just really early  if u take another in 2 days it would b the same but most likely darker.Congrats:)
