I've been TTC for five months now (fairly healthy if a bit fat and 36, so time not really on my side). AF is due tomorrow but I feel a bit unusual and not very premenstrual... can I have some good vibes that AF may fly over our house tomorrow?

Horrible isn't it. I really thought this month would be it. I'm 35 and worried it's just too late for me.

Rubbish. We were on holiday, I thought the extra relaxing would make a difference. Oh well, next month beckons...

And I'm 36. We should be fine really!

Yes you're right, we should be fine. I read somewhere on here that it's a myth that fertility drops massively after 35.
I think for me, it's difficult to pinpoint exactly when I ovulate because my cycles range from 24-30 days.
I don't know, I just felt different this month, really really tired and just presumed I had managed it this month. I've only been off the pill for six months after 6 years on it so it also worries me that I'm maybe not even ovulating yet. I just worry about everything lol.

Sorry to hear about the BFNs Sad

Out of interest did you use a digi? It's only my opinion but I think they're crap and can't be trusted. I've known a few false negatives on here and RL.

And pickles have you thought about using ovulation sticks? I got cheapos off amazon and got my BFP first month (I'm 35). I know they only show the hormone surge but might be worth a go?

I know! I'm off the Mirena after 7 years and now TTC for five months. The first month was the worst for symptom spotting but I had hoped the holiday would do the trick.

OP posts:
Pickles79 · 13/03/2014 09:36

I used a clear blue digital.
No I've not tried ovulation sticks but am looking on amazon now lol.

My BFN was from a standard one. Expecting Aunt Flo any minute.

OP posts:
Pickles79 · 13/03/2014 09:38

Sorry, just checked. It was clear blue but not a digital one x

SecretWitch · 13/03/2014 11:32

Yes, am not convincing myself I am when POAS says no, but still nice not to have to deal with it yet Smile
