TTC at 37 - questions about OPK

I'm TTC aged 37.

I never thought I wanted children. Then my partner when a little drunk last July and said he desperately wanted a baby. Then the next day he said he didn't know where it had come from and he wasn't ready. I was so disappointed and realised I really did want one.
We have spent the past 6 months discussing whether or not it is the right choice for us, and we decided over Christmas that now is the time.

I am currently on CD 13. I started doing daily OPKs at CD8 (I don't know my cycle length, I've never paid it much attention but it is fairly regular, 30 days give or take I would say), which I know was probably too early but I didn't have a clue so thought earlier is better than late.

On no test yet has there even been a hint of a second line. Is this something to be concerned about? Could I be doing something wrong? Or is it just too early.
Looking at posts of other people doing them, they seem to be showing lines from around CD12.

I never got a positive with OPK tests but got pregnant at 35 on the second month of trying. I found tracking BBT much more accurate.

Good luck!

AF arrived today, 29 day cycle so I was close with my 30 day estimate.

Hopefully next month. 🤞

How did it work out for you in the end op? X

Oh wow, this was a long time ago.
I finally got pregnant in January this year.
I'm now 40 and coming up 35 weeks pregnant!

@pinkpirlie I don't ovulate until cd18-20.
The only thing you can do is test daily to become familiar with your cycle.
Everybodys surge is different. Some women have a gradual surge and others can miss their surge unless testing twice a day
