in TTC after 35
Hi ladies! I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and finally decided to post!
I just turned 38 a few months ago, DH is 40 this year. We got married last year but have been together for a long time.
We've been talking about TTC for a while but just started this month - we took it easy and just used OPKs to give us an idea of when to try. Our timing was ok, but due to work schedules we didn't get as many tries in as I would have liked. According to my app AF was due yesterday and OPKs went positive on the 13th only. Took a test yesterday and this morning with FMU and both were negative. I'm assuming AF is just being lazy and not showing up yet but I'd really like to get the show on the road so that I can be sure!!
I plan to run out and get a thermometer this weekend to start temping/charting so I'll have a better idea in the future of what is going on. I've been pretty paranoid going in to TTC that it won't be easy for us so hopefully having more information will help to counteract that.
Looking forward to chatting with you all!

I have that same creeping pessimism, even though we've really only started TTC actively this cycle. I picked up an OPK to use next cycle (first time) so hopefully that'll improve our chances even more!
Hope you'll have a short stay on the TTC boards!
