It's all still quite recent, but we're currently in a similar boat. We don't yet have a child though, only a miscarriage a few years ago. Around Christmas/New Years, we had a bit of a chat about things and, accepting that the clock is definitely ticking, we were going to consider trying one round of fertility treatments. We want kids enough, but also are pragmatic enough to accept that things just might not work out for us on that front.
February comes along and she gets COVID. I happened to be about an hour out of town when she first tested positive, and we decided I should stay out there unless I too happened to test positive. A week passes, she's still testing positive on rapid tests, and most of her original symptoms are gone, but she's feeling "funky" nonetheless. On a whim, has a long-expired pregnancy test in the back of a drawer, and tests positive. I was coming into town for a Costco run the next day and picked up some fresh tests for her. Fresh test immediately comes back very positive.
At the Ultrasound they do measurements to evaluate how far along things are. 6 weeks! Later on that day I pulled out the calendar and start counting backwards... and smile because that was a really great weekend 6 weekends prior :D
Edit: next big hurdle is next week where we go back for a second ultrasound and hopefully see/hear a heartbeat. Everything else looked excellent at the first ultrasound, but it was just a bit too early according to the tech.
