TTC after 35

Biggest Bummer so Far in TTCing!

edited July 2014 in TTC after 35
You know, I wasn't really all that hopeful this month, barely got in time for BDing since DH was traveling.  I had to fly in to see him to get in that 1 Day before O BD. So when I didn't get my AF when it was supposed to be due, I thought, well...maybe. So then I got my hopes up.  I ended up testing on 15 DPO but with a BFN. Bummer.  So I thought, well I guess it's just a day late (I'm normally on a 28 day cycle).  I've been feeling these cramps and twinges like I was getting my AF.  I waited for another 2 days and still nothing.  Hope shot back up of course.  Maybe I was just one of those people who had slow rising HCG.  And the pain is just my uterus expanding in preparation for pregnancy.

Of course, AF showed up this morning.  I was sooooooo disappointed.  And sooooo confused.  I've never had a 32 day cycle before.  And I thought chemical pregnancy or miscarriage, but since I tested BFN, I don't think so.  

Grrrrr!

  • I'm sorry to hear that. Mother nature certainly plays tricks on us. Good luck next cycle!

  • That happened to me last cycle. I also normally am a 28 day cycle kind of gal, but it was 31 days. Learned it was due to stress (I'm planning my wedding right now).
    GL next cycle!
  • Sorry, but good luck TTC in your new cycle
  • Sorry :( Mine kind of went the opposite way last month. I am normally 28, was kind of getting my hopes up because we had decent timing, then AF showed on day 26 :/

    Sorry... totally stinks. I was perfectly regular for about the first year of TTC...then one month I had a 40 day cycle (coulda been a CP but I'm not quick to POAS) and it's been totally wonky ever since. Grr.

  • I'm sorry about the disappointment! Were you temping/charting? It sounds like you O'd late, not that your period was late. My cycles were always "regular" until we started ttc. The stress of trying can make you O late or just change your hormones and/or your cycles. You may not have even had sex at the correct time if you O'd late. Charting has saved my sanity! Hang in there. :)
