Hi all, been a while since I checked in, have been on holiday somewhere sunny for 2 weeks. Good to hear of those BFPs, can I add one to the mix? Tested this morning and just got the faintest line
The really odd thing is my last period was 17th August. Then when it came to ovulation I had far less symptoms than usual, was convinced it probably didn't happen. Took a First Response test before leaving for holiday in desperate hope (about 12 days after possible ov) but BFN. At earlest day AF was due used the freebie test - again BFN. 5 days later still no AF and would have been about the longest cycle ever, so bought another test on holiday (DP moaning how expensive it was) and still BFN!! Was starting to put a dampner on the holiday because I was being obsessive about symptoms, but expecting AF any second after all those BFNs.
Anyway AF didn't arrive, we got back yesterday and this morning I dug out an old el cheapo pound shop test, and as I said it is a very faint BFP. Thats on day 43 since last AF started. So no idea why it took so long to show, maybe I ovulated much later in the cycle than usual, thank goodness we (in pre holiday gladness) kept up the SEX! So am now left feeling a bit stunned. Don't think it has sunk in for DP yet either, though I think he's glad we managed it in advance of Xmas so he can get back on the wagon again . Can't be exact on the dates, but will be due around end of May - my favourite time of year!
Sorry for writing the whole saga out here, but has been very theraputic, think I have been feeling a bit frustrated recently. But it's living proof to those new member that TTC over 35 does work, we've had quite a few graduates after all. And for those that remain I'm certain your time will come, and will be all the more sweet for the wait. I have my fingers crossed for you all (and I'll still check back in here to see you all graduate)
