Late!

in TTC after 35
Hey y'all. My name is Jessica and I am 37. DH is 43 and we have a 3 year old son. We have been TTC our second for almost 2 years now. I have had a 24-26 day cycle for about a year, but before thy it was a normal 28. I am currently on CD 30, have had cramping since Wednesday, tender breasts, which are sometimes normal PMS symptoms, extra tired, but there is the time change, headaches that aren't normal, and I think my sense of smell has heightened. (I can explain away all my symptoms except the smell) I have my test waiting and plan on taking it in the morning, but after trying for 2years already, I am not really expecting a bfp. I don't know, maybe I just don't want to get my hopes up.

    Good luck are you temping to see if you O'd late? Since I have found this board I have started temping and using fertility friend to keep up with it.  I wish you well and hope you get a BFP. If you do get a BFP I hope to follow you soon to PG after 35.

    Unless you're temping, you don't know your period is "late". Also, PMS symptoms mimic pregnancy symptoms...they are one in the same. Most likely you are hyper-aware of everything since you're TTC. Take a pregnancy test - if you're pregnant enough for these so called symptoms, you'll be pregnant enough to turn a test. GL!

    Sorry for your BFN. With a shortish cycle, temping could help you pinpoint ovulation. Maybe you're ovulating earlier than you think. Have you considered seeing a RE? Good luck.

    Welcome. I second (or is it third) temping. Last month I didn't ovulate until day 25! So I wasn't surprised or PoAS and expected a 36 day cycle. This month I ovulated on day 18 so can manage my expectations accordingly. It helps the mental state. Good luck!
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.

    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
