BFN on day 36, still not sure!!

Sorry if this is long....I have just turned 40, DH will be 51 this year, we have 2 DDs at school (8 and nearly 5) and I have just started a new business, so not planning any more children. I would always have liked 3 but DH never keen so we decided to stick at 2. Howver, after a little accident last month (i.e. too much wine) on day 16 of my cycle I am still waiting for AF and is now day 36. My cycle is really irregular to the point where I have no idea when I ovulated/when AF would be due but I was convinced that I was pregnant, feeling nauseous, dizzy etc and it all seemed to much of a coincidence. However, three tests later and still BFN so I'm really confused!
The past two weeks have been such a rollercoaster of emotions, from initial shock at thinking I might be pregnant, then worry about everything (our age, our finances, the fact that I have got rid of all the baby stuff, the fact that we have just converted the spare room into an office), then excitement at the prospect, then disappointment at the test results. I think I have realised how much I would have liked a third, and DH has been so supportive that I suppose I wish we'd just gone for it a couple of years ago. This would probably our last opportunity, so I'm not sure if I'm just willing the symptoms. Is it possible that I could be pregnant after 3 BFNs (on day 31, 33 and 35)???

Hi,
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your questions but wanted to acknowledge your post, wish you well... and bump your message x

Has there been anything else that caused stress this month? Could be that delaying ovulation. How long is your normal cycle? If you're very late you'd expect to see a bfp by now. I guess if af doesn't arrive soon you'd be wise to go to your Gp.

Thanks for your replies, will do another test in a couple of days and visit GP if no change by Tues.

How long has your cycle been irregular for?. It may be that you are now not ovulating regularly.

I would also suggest a visit to the GP. I would refrain from doing any more tests as seeing repeated negatives can be very hard.
